Re: is my heater bad for plants?

What's your substrate situation? If it's just gravel, the roots might not be getting enough nutrients. Java Fern and Anubias are hardy, but they still need some love. Also, what's your CO2 like? Low CO2 can stunt growth even if the temp's fine.

Re: Managing MTS population growth

True that. I noticed a spike in snails after I slacked on pruning. Now I'm on it like clockwork.

Re: Managing MTS population growth

Yep, overfeeding's the main culprit. I switched to sinking pellets instead of flakes, so less food hits the substrate. Also, manual removal with a snail trap works if you're consistent. Got a DIY one with a soda bottle and lettuce.

queries about kribensis

right, so i've got this lovely pair of kribs, really healthy, picked 'em as a pair. they've already bred twice in the short time i've had 'em, but unfortunately the fry didn't make it due to the current tank setup - hence the thread.

new home's gonna be a 90 litre aquarium, and don't worry about ...
