To better understand your water parameters, what's your GH reading? It's often considered more crucial than pH in determining water hardness. I came across an interesting article on Seriously Fish, which recommends a pH of 7-8.5 and a GH of 15-35 for Endler's Livebearers, suggesting they thrive in ...

I've got a 23 gallon tank that's pretty heavily planted, it's home to 4 neon tetras, 5 corydoras, 3 otocinclus and 2 honey gouramis. The pH is 6, I'm thinking of adding some endlers, wondering if that'd work out.

Hey guys, if you think I'm posting too many threads then let me know, I just want to make sure I'm not overwhelming anyone. I just got my new 15 gallon tank and I'm super excited to set it up with live corals.

I've got a few questions to get some advice from you all. Can I put 2 clownfish, 1 ...

I've got a plant in my tank that's in a silent cycle right now and I'm not sure what it is (anyone know the species?). The lower leaves are browning - should I cut them off? I've also got some hornwort with wilting lower leaves, is this a light issue because the upper leaves are blocking them ...

Your water parameters look good. Do you use any fertilizers in your aquarium? What's your aquarium lighting schedule like, how many hours a day do you keep the lights on?

Before we dive into the plant issues, can you tell me what your water parameters are looking like?

I'm pretty sure it's fin rot, despite your parameters being fine - that usually points to a bacterial infection. 75% water change should help, and make sure to clean the gravel and scrub the glass to get rid of the infection. Once you've done the water change, add some aquarium salt - one level ...

Another consideration for you: Starting out with possibly wild-caught, sensitive saltwater fish - is it the best move for a new fishkeeper?


I've had experience with a fighting game fish for 3 years, and some neptunes too. I'm 100% sure I can care for them properly. And I'm getting captive-bred ...

Thanks, appreciate it.

@kingrise, sry if u dont like pings but I'm pretty sure u have a 40g reef with 2 clowns? I'm on a tighter budget, so I went with the biggest I could afford - a 15g.
