Who Gives A Fish Forums

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.

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

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.

anyone there?

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.
