hi y'all;
newbie here.
i bought myself a small oceanfree tank (the rm78 all-in-one) yesterday. also bought 1 java fern as well.
now planning to buy some fishes.

1. can i put 1 betta with several tetra in same tank? will they mix well? or does betta eat/bully tetra?

2. any recommendation on fish for newbie like me? guppies or tetra? which 1 is susah mau mati fish?

thanks y'all

hi all;

i think i overfed my tetra. the excess/uneaten food is somewhat becoming shrouded with this web-like algae. so, my question is, how to clean/get rid this web-like algae (looks like spider web blanketing the excess food)?

coz that thingy is at the bottom of the aquarium. sticking itself on the pebbles.

if i buy those majlis bandaraya fish (sticking itself at the aquarium), will it solve the problem?

thanks y'all

my SAE is bullying my corydoras & otocinclus during feeding time.

i have a 45l tank (28cm x 30cm). inside i got 1 SAE, 4 ottos, 2 cory & 3 tetra.
my SAE is the biggest & longest (6 to 7 cm) fish in the tank.
only during feeding time, my SAE always chase away other fishes. kesian all my other fishes especially my ottos. (my ottos always hiding behind the ferns)

is this a natural thing? i thought SAE can live with other fishes?

how to solve this problem?

another question, i also plan to put 1 female & 1 male betta into the same tank. is it ok to do that?

another question, can i put also keladi bunting (water hyacinth) in it? my tank is open tank.

in my tank, i only got anubias nana & java fern, so i think putting 1 or 2 keladi bunting aka water hyacinth will not do any harm to them.

yup, for now, i place the food at different corner, scatter them so that they wont fight for the food.

hye all, i'm a noob.

this is my tank 45liter 28cm w X 30cm h. basic setup. some pebbles, got 3 betta, 4 otocinclus, 1 SAE, 2 corydora, 3 emperor tetra. this is not a CO2 setup. just some java ferns, anubias nana, some long weed like plant, water hyacinth.

last month, my oto laid a lot of eggs sticking at the tank glass. after 2 days, all eggs seems like to grow fungus and my SAE ate all the eggs.

my question is, in future if my otos starts to lay eggs again, what sould i do? coz after i wake up from sleep, suddenly got eggs all over my tank.

hi all;

my tank is 45liter, 28cm width, 30cm height. what light can you suggest coz my water hyacinth (keladi bunting) slowly dead. i assume it's because of the lighting.

currently i'm using the basic hang-on light (same light that LFS pre-bundle when you buy mini aquarium).

my only plant is anubias nana, java fern & water hyacinth. can u suggest any lighting setup for my water hyacinth? thanks
