I see Puntius fasciatus at the LFS ,about 20 or so..... :?: I am thinking of removing my Albino Tin Foils that are BIG and replacing them with these. These get red in the tail slightly also right ? If not the name is wrong then but they have these type side markings. Does anyone have these ? This is...

They look great, I very much like the bright red on the lower fins. That is my favorite variation. Great Job on the long term care so far.....You removed the gravel and went to sand then?

I.M.E. , Your milage may vary.............. Labeo Bi-color, Almorhae( Yo-Yo), Red Tail Botia, S. beaufortii and SAE for 5 years , with enough room in tank. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t26/afishnamedtinman/IMG_1029.jpg 4 Rainbow(was 5), Almorhae(Yo-Yo), B.striata, B. macranthus, no SEA but cou...

Check for ammonia, tanks go through many things and at day ten ? Filters build and fall as they cycle up. It is not always solid growth, do a 10% water change a couple times a week at first.... You can tell your tanks real current cycle by overloading slightly with flake food crumbled fine after a f...

Very Nice

What sand did you use. Was it in any tank before or collected naturally?. Cories hate salt and are like canarys in a coal mine so if they kicked asap it is a sign ....What else is in there??? Change out the substrate or decor or both. Your water is fine if your other tanks are not suffering like thi...

we are 120 volt here btw for the calcs on load....

200 gallons x 10 = 2000 GPH you must add for sump to be accurate but on a little Giant external pump this is shown on the following chart. If you put the pump in the tank the wattage transfers to heat in the water so it can be dangerous in the Summer for those without AC. The pump you need in this b...

A sump collects heavy waste in the bottom so circulation in a sump keeps them healthy and the waste lifted.. I have two 150 gallon sumps that the pump feeds out of at the bottom to stop any waste collecting, I drop part of the pump outlet feed over an additional filter rack made from a plastic bread...

Sadly, the dyed Y. modestas are still doing the rounds (WHY? ) so a dyed specimen is possible.

absolutely, just hoping these were real.....I couldnt think of any other dark tails.....

Dark fin makes me say Y. eos in the specie section....

Large group them .They get mean when older and comfortable in their tank. Re decoration helps. I would think they might do good with Syncrossus helodes and was thinking of adding some myself but they are the devil.....

Splendid

If you use a fan you must not just top off the tank , evaporation leads to hard water issues. You must remove water by cup or bucket also dilligently as well as topping. Replace in the tank power heads with HOB's and set your AC to 68F ....
