I am wonder how to dose CO2? How many bps? Need guidance on this.  icon_question.gif

2bps should be enough. else if u start to see ur fish gasping for air, try to reduce it a bit

is it enuf for UG? I heard UG need quite high dosage of co2.
am goin for shrimp only tank.

shrimp tank + co2 is not a good combo bro.
thats y shrimp breeder only have moss in their tank. which is low tech, can survive without additional co2

i wont worry much on the gda. its simply can be wipe off during wc. else u can leave it for 3 weeks and it will die. brows.gif brows.gif
RO on planted tank is not helpful imho. i totally forgot the reason why.. it is much better to use normal water tap with anti chlorine.

the bahagian kiri is Monte while on the right is HC. HC looks not healthy. Rotala at the back grows like crazy! have to cut every 2 weeks! wanted to see if monte or HC looks nicer. got some melting after flooding but seems to be pretty much in control (i hope) now. any advice from sifu on how to make the HC more healthy and grow much faster?

Green dust algae. The one stick on glass. I'm having an outbreak. Some said let it stay for 2-3 weeks for the full life cycle and it will go away, but I don't think I can stand looking at it for 2-3 weeks, so I try the blackout method instead.
*
LOL...

no need for blackout la brother. just brush it off laugh.gif then do WC. settle

Did that for a few weeks, it sticks back after a few hours. I can't do a massive WC because I have quite many shrimp in it. Based on my experience, if I did 80-90% WC, some of my shrimp will die. So, enough is enough.
*
after few hours?? i believed u miss that spot. the algae growth is not that fast. what is your tank size n and lighting?

why u want to do wc till 80%? most of us only wc around 20-30% only brah. with treated water, not directly from tab

No reason why it won't hatch, but it will be a few weeks before you see the first fry. They are cute as anything when you first see them. smile.gif

I have Eleocharis sp mini, rotala red vietnam, christmas moss, monte carlo, 2 types of buce, mini fissidens and one more plant I don't what it is.

This grew by itself when it hitched a ride with my monte. I quite liked it, so I let it grow. Any idea what plant is it?

ah pek plant is it?

Is a good choice, nice and small, perfect for my mini tank, but the problem is they dont school.
My dream of thank is to have green carpeting and watch my fish school around.
Tetra or cardinal seem to be the best choice but i kinda felt they are too big. But at least there are hardy and easy to keep.
*
standby rotan if they don't want to school.

Behaviour and CompatibilityTOP ↑
This species is very peaceful but does not make an ideal community fish due to its small size and rather timid nature. It will do best when maintained alone or with other diminutive species such as Microdevario, Sundadanio, Danionella, Eirmotus, Trigonostigma, pygmy Corydoras and small Loricariids such as Otocinclus.

It also makes an ideal companion for shy anabantoids such as Sphaerichthys, Parosphromenus or the more diminutive Betta species, and in a planted set-up can be housed alongside freshwater shrimp of the genera Caridina and Neocaridina.

It’s a schooling species by nature and really should be kept in a group of at least 8-10 specimens. Maintaining it in decent numbers will not only make the fish less nervous but will result in a more effective, natural-looking display. Males will also display their best colours and some interesting behaviour as they compete with one other for female attention.

i think they stop schooling after they determined that they are pretty comfortable with the tank and got too relaxed and wandered off

i've seen better schooling results in a community tanks where there are other schooling fishes around. so maybe security might made them to stop schooling as much?
just my thinking.
