Could you link to the DIY solution you found? It should give an idea about what processes the water goes through, and therefore what the end...
I have a lot of that. I haven't used it recently but don't recall algae problems specifically. Pretty common in our area. Will give it another...
Word of warning - archers are notorious jumpers. If they get startled, or see something that they want to eat but can't quite shoot, they'll jump....
Hmm... I'm going to lean toward T. chatareus here, also known as the largescale archer. Which as far as I remember, tolerates freshwater much...
The bigger the better as far as tanks go, but this largely depends on the size of the group you plan on housing, as well as any other fish you...
Give it a little time. There are a handful of plant guys on here that will be able to help (unfortunately, I'm not one of them). Sometimes people...
Just to chip in here: there are two very commonly sold species of archer, Toxotes jaculatrix and T. chatareus. A photo from the side will help...
Thanks for the replies everyone. It is quite confusing, but that's perhaps because I asked for an ID too early on. These are very young fishes,...
Odd question... but do you recall how it smells? Typically, a bacterial infection, especially when cut open, has quite a stench about it.
Good call on not adjusting the tank. As a general rule, yes, liquid tests tend to be better than the strips, primarily because (at least I've...
I haven't used that specific product, but have used liquid tests before. Bear in mind that these tests aren't 100% accurate, and that some brands...
Hi everyone @Reedfish you and I were discussing this a little while back. They've grown since! The fishes pictured below were sold to me as...
That appears to be a build-up of sorts, which can be caused by a number of things - bacteria, viruses, or parasites. What is noticeable for me, at...
Many people who keep the larger, predatory species opt to use frozen foods - it's a lot cheaper and easier than buying live, and less risk of...
You don't have to feed tilapia shrimp. They are truly omnivorous and will eat nearly anything presented to them. Have you tried pellets, flakes,...
What temperature is your tank sitting at now? And how much lower would you like to get it? Something a few people don't realize is that...
The only way in I see which Malawis and these tilapia appearing to be compatible is the overlapping diets and water chemistry needs. Both groups...
For the most part, these tilapia are detritivores and herbivores, meaning they like scraps and plants and much prefer an easy meal. That's not to...
Lighting, food, and surrounding environment can all play a part in how a fish's colours present themselves.
Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus.
