Re: Fishroom in 10m²: how to arrange

Growout tanks do not require the same water depth or observation as conditioning & spawning tanks. These can be shallow tanks racked up high out of the way. Some things that I would do (which may not suit your fish keeping style): * Rack 90cm long tanks end on along one long wall. Fish will com...

It is indeed this kind of fishroom that I would like.

Fishroom in 10m²: how to arrange

Good morning, I currently have a small room to integrate my aquariums. The problem is that I'm having trouble with the layout. Currently the room contains 10 aquariums. I don't intend to keep them all. The fishroom will be mainly dedicated to maintenance with the possibility of reproduction. I don't...

Re: Remineralizing salt for Amazonian catfish

So does this kind of variation exist in nature? Because from 6 to 3 seems huge to me. If that variation isn't the cause of death, I'll have to keep looking. In fact I don't want to completely remineralize the water, my other tanks run on rainwater without remineralization without worry. It was only ...

Remineralizing salt for Amazonian catfish

Hello, following the loss of my female L200, I realized that my pH was fluctuating too much. It is usually quite low, around 5.3. My tanks all run on non-remineralized rainwater (except my shrimp tanks) and I haven't had any problems so far. Last night, I discovered that my female L200 died. No matt...

Hybrids catfish: breeding chance ?

Good morning, I now have for some time, 20 synodontis. When I had them identified here, I was told they were all hybrids. The problem is that they start to really grow and if they continue like that, the tank is going fast and is too small. Having only a small fishroom, I still have a large tank (ab...

Hi,

I have already maintained 2 in a 200l and I find it really too small. They are great swimmers, a tank of at least 150cm in front or even more should be a minimum.

Good morning, I recently acquired a group of 6 young corydoras adolfoi, normally wild. On the site where I took them, both species (adolfoi and duplicareus) are sold. However, not only does the dorsal band seem very wide to me for Adolfoi, but in addition the images of the pectoral spines seem rathe...

I had it with hypostomus basilisko, hemiancistrus l200, hypancistrus l129 and ancistrus cf cirrhosus. Only the ancistrus nibbled the bulb, the others did not touch it.

Currently I have no more affected fish. I have secondary infections but they seem to be healing slowly. I don't know if it was the treatment or the UV that was effective, but for the moment I don't do the salt treatment if there are no symptoms. I therefore lost two synodontis out of the 7 present. ...

Is starting with a dose of 5g/l of salt correct? What is surprising is that some synodontis have nothing and are in grea...

Hello, the duration of the treatment ends and unfortunately I still have affected fish. I lowered the temperature to 27°C as you advised me. As we are at the end of the treatment, I turned on the UV in the hope that it destroys the free form of the ich. As some fish always have spots, can I continue...
