水草情迷

I went to FS to buy two pairs this afternoon. Will post some pictures later if they can survive.

I saw some shops selling Tetra Blackwater that replicates natural blackwater conditions, can I add this into my tank?

Thank you for your continued advices.

The female 雙紅尾阿卡西 always hide behind the wood and doesn't move but the other three fishes are very active, is it o.k.?

Here are some pictures of my tank.

hiding place is very important
add more wood and grass
recommend 水榕x8

go to "morning market" to buy ~$120

Brother 15, thanks for your advice. I am going to add more plants and woods. The female 雙紅尾阿卡西 die yesterday, will buy another for the male later. Added "three lines" today.

too open, put tons more plants in!

Does those mose tied are 鯛樽？ If not so, put couples in.

Take out that piece of stone, it may raise KH value & indirectly turn water to alkaline. Both are not ideal water condition for Dwarf.

Aware the water current, it may be too strong by the internal filter.

Does the base are something that so call "黑磁砂"?

Will definitely put more plants in the tank, one or two at a time.

The stone has been used for almost 3 years, will it still make the water alkaline?

Will take out one filter. Yes, the mose is tied to a 鯛樽 , the other is tied to 火山石, is it O.K.?

Those are ADA black sands at the bottom.

Thank you for further advices.

Yes it will, and you may test the KH value.

火山石 is O.K

This morning I found that the female 三線 die, it's the second time a female 鯛 die. Both times, they stayed on top of the water and didn't move.

What's wrong with my tank?

I had removed one internal filter and the rock.

check out water quility - pH, KH, NH3

Did u 對足水 before release them into the tank?

Thank you all for your advices.

1. Will add more plants and woods.

2.Yes, I 對足水 before release the fish into the tank by putting the whole bag in the tank to match the temperature for 10 minutes, then emptied the fish (and water) into a bucket and add water from my tank slowly.

3. I am curious why only the female died. Do I have to buy new females for the males?

Most of my fish (all 鯛, 5 red lotus lamp, 2 little fox) die yesterday!!!

I added 3 sticks of ADA water plant root fertilizers (less than the recommended dosage) the day before, was that the reason?

What should I do now? I have already changed 1/3 of the water and I will definitely not buy any new fish the coming two weeks!
