      @TropicalFishGuy 2 дні тому

      For plants with broad leaves like Anubias I use my thumb and forefinger to wipe it off. For some other stem plants I dip them in a bath of peroxide for a couple of minutes. Don’t do this with Java moss or fern. Otherwise turn your lights off except when you are looking at the tank for a couple of weeks. That’s the real answer. Usually too much light is the issue.

    My GBR is my center piece fish. He is housed with 2 Ruby Rams, 4 Columbian tetras, 4 Buenos Tetras and assorted loaches. GBR comes to the front of the tank at feeding time and lights up with every color of the rainbow. When I get close and talk to him he squirms like a puppy. He seems to know where to go to be in the best light.

    Are these illegal to keep in certain states such as Washington? I read online that they are. Also, can they be kept with other fish? Such as community fish? (Just watching the video)

    • @TropicalFishGuy
      @TropicalFishGuy 15 днів тому

      They are illegal in some states since they are predatory. No, they should not be kept with community fish. They will eat them. You might want to look at dwarf frogs. They look similar but stay small and would be good for some community fish. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I played around with adding like mascara barbs, Denison’s, etc but they were expensive, harder to find and no more exciting than these tetras. Paid 2.49 each at my lfs,

      Yeah, it’s usually light or nutrients. I do a big water change once and don’t turn on my light for a week or so. I don’t black out the tank or anything. I still watch the fish without the light on so it’s still fun.

    Driftwood browning of the water doesn't permanently brown the water. That goes away within a few weeks with water changes for most woods. My tank is packed with driftwood and crystal clear. Purigen will clean those tannins out in a matter of a few weeks. In The fish industry a long time. Handled a lot of celebrities, athletes and high profile peoples tanks in Miami and Fort lauderdale. Including all the bass pro shops in South Florida.
