Assassin snails will eat ALL other snails. Be it those pest snails, ramshorn snails or other nerite snails will be attacked and eaten by the assassin snails. Not too sure they'll breed or not.

My 4 cooling fan is constantly turned on and I'm getting 26-27C during the day and 25-26C during night. However, the evaporation is crazy where I need to top up about 1-1.5 litres of water a day.

I'll be away for a week and no one will be at home to top up water for me. I will have no choice but to turn off the fan to ensure there's as little as possible evaporation.

Question is, will my plants melt within that 1 week if the temperature goes up to about 28 - 29C?

Have anyone tried schooling the same fish species but from different breeders or shops?

E.g. 10 neon tetras from shop A and 10 neon tetras from shop B. Will the 20 neon tetras school together or will they separate into two schools of 10s?

Cool cool.

On a side note. Does anyone knows how to bring out the red color in fishes? I have a school of dwarf rasboras. The red color in them looks pale.

My tank is about 5 months old. But i just got the rasboras last week. Could you define stable?

I had cherry barbs last time but they're not shrimp friendly. I bought like 20 cherry shrimps and dumped them into my tank. Those cherry barbs had them for supper and breakfast. Those red cherry barbs are males, those brownish ones are females.

Usually in the shop, they're stressed and they'lll look pale. After a few days or maybe a week, it'll turn full red. Like this --->
Cherry barbs are fun to watch when they're schooling but they're not really shrimp friendly. I've even seen them nibble on my HCs before.

Cherry shrimps and cherry barbs does not mix. I've seen my cherry barbs attacking my amanos before too.

What shrimps do you have in your tank? Sell some to me at a discounted price if it's overpopulated.

I have some xmas moss. Let me know if you want.

Just realised i have this clam like thing in my tank. I've killed about 3 of em just now. Anyone know what is it?

I usually just squeeze them dead with my tweezers and my shrimps are very happy to feast on them. Haha

It's not snail larvaes. It's like a clam but it only has 1 side of a shell.

Yeah, everytime i see one, I'll squeeze it. Cherry shrimps love em.

Happened to me too. I saw my SAEs chewing on my eriocaulons.

If I'm not mistaken, left gauge means the pressure within the tank. Right gauge means pressure coming out from your regulator. So if your left gauge is 0 means your tank is empty already. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

What is the most effective way to kill off BBA? It has infected some of my hairgrasses.

Planning to get some amano shrimps this weekend to see if it works.

I've read some online too. The really foolproof way is to dose excel. However, the measurement must be correct or it'll affect your fishes and shrimps.

Just realised my floating flame mosses and xmas mosses are infected to BBAs too. Can I remove the mosses and quarantine in another tank and dose hydrogen peroxide?

For jhg, i'll just trim those affected.

Thoughts?

*edit, any idea where can I get hydrogen peroxide around KL?

Need some advice guys. I think my co2 diffuser is leaking and am planning to buy a new one. Is it worth it to buy the bazooka diffuser with super fine bubbles? Its like 60bucks for the diffuser and you'll need to get the special high pressure bubble counter also. All in all need to fork out about 100+

Advice please folks?

Umm. i can literally see rough bubbles coming out from the side of the diffuser. Well cheap diffuser la. Got it for like rm20 i think. Was thinking of inline diffuser too. Shall look around if there's a good deal
