heya, I've just bought a larger tank which I want to make a planted tank. I'll be transferring over my fish some of which are dwarf cories. Could you please let me know if any of you have had experience with the dwarfs and any other type of substrate other than sand? I'll need the planted substrate ...

Brilliant, thankyou for that. I will just keep a close eye on them when I get them.

Thankyou

Lucy

I have a planted tank with the back half planted up with eco complete as the substrate and the front half is a sandy area that has no plants growing on it. I'm thinking of changing the fish in there at the moment. I have some dwarf puffers, but would like to go back to a community tank and I've ...

Hi there, I'm going to be setting up a 60l tank (15gallons) for some pygymy cories. If I had a colony of 15, would that work? I know that there are 3 types, but I am assuming that it is pretty much the same for all of them? I'll have a sand substrate with java fern and java moss attached to rocks. I ...

Thankyou for that. At what age can you sex them?

Hi there, I had 2 L260s which sadly died when my CO2 was too high in their tank (it was a planted tank). They were such shy fish and I'd always planned to get 4 more to make a group of 6 but never got around to it. Now I would like to create a species only tank so that I can get the most out of them ...

Hi there, I have 2 queen arabesque plecs in a planted tank. This morning I turned up the CO2 a bit and I've just noticed that they were kind of floating. They are still alive, breathing really fast. So I've turned the CO2 down and added an air stone into the tank to get the oxygen back in there. My ...

thankyou for that. I will turn the temp up a bit then and put an air stone in by the caves that they have decided to live in. Hopefully that will make them a bit less shy.

Okay, thankyou.
They have lots of crevices to hide in, in the form of lots of driftwood as I have a lot of moss growing on it, so places to hide are not a problem, guess the lighting will be something that I will have to try to work with.
Thankyou

Hi there, I am new to this forum and new to keeping plecs. I have had otos for ages, but never plecs. Anyway, I am in the process of setting up a new 65 US gallon heavily planted tank. I do all the standard planting stuff - ferts, CO2 (pressurised), eco complete, high lighting etc. I also have a ...
