@MariaS - dye type treatments are a known route to take with this - and similar - afflictions. People have met varying levels of success, of...
It's presenting much like a water mold, or something similar, and should be treated as such. However, the growth of this pathogen is rather...
It depends if you need to alter it. If your fish has been fine so far, the last thing you want to do is try fiddling with the pH. A pH swing can...
Could be fungal or bacterial, a little hard to say from the pic. First step, as with any ailment, is to keep up your water quality to give the...
I see. And how deep will the water be? How saline your water will be is still the determinant of what you can use. Of the brackish setups I've...
It depends on the makeup of your borehole water, which is determined by the surrounding rock and soil structures. In some ways, yes, borehole...
This will depend on what kind of salinity you're running the tank at. Even the commonly traded plants that are somehwhat brackish tolerant - like...
I'll be following this. I have limited space so I could use some inspiration. Do you run any additional equipment on this setup?

That's an interesting comparison in behaviours. Would there be a concern, then, for the fry of one species out-competing the other? I suppose in...
In my case, they were rooted in deep sand in a pretty nutrient rich brackish tank. But you're right, the marine guys might struggle to accommodate...
Get to know the animals you're shooting. Once you get a feel for their behaviour (especially movement patterns) and their environment (lights,...
Does it not come with a worry about balance? Much as some marine keepers experience similar problems, you'd want to provide an environment that...
[ATTACH] This was taken just before I packed up my fish room. The stark contrast between males and females was astounding. The female up top was...
Only specific suggestion I'd give is to at least partially bury the rocks in the substrate. This would be a more natural look. As for plants, if...
Schooling is a natural behaviour of danios, so you should be happy to see it. The only good reason I could imagine the sudden schooling is a...
Let it settle a bit, and maybe let the cichlids play with it a bit. l like the initial look, but a good setup allows itself to evolve. Anything...
