The plecos prefer the soft green algae. I have bristlenose that take care of the glass pretty well.
I also have zebra nerite snails.they are new so not sure if they are eating the black beard algae or not, but they appear to be in at least one tank. They reproduce only in brackish water […]
A Pleco comes to mind. Preferably one of the dwarf species so it’s not as much burden on the bioload. A Bristle Nosed or Clown Pleco both stay under 5″. They are both “armored” catfish so they are at least designed to tolerate a little abuse and ward it off with their […]
MECHANICAL FILTERS - are materials you use to trap solids such as fish poops. Koi keepers usually use filter brushes. RINSE THEM REGULARLY
I know some sobrang maselan people who use filter wool (the kind that pet shops sell for aquarium filter boxes). This will really make your water mechanically super clean but if you do […]
HI JANY,
Good luck to your CHAGOI hunt. If I were you, I would take a trip to Manila and get one at KOis & Ponds. They breed them so the price is very reasonable too.

I emailed seachem to see if their products are safe for snails, if not I have 2 tanks that are not dosed with the flourish products.

Is any amount of copper safe for snails at all? I noticed that some of the flourish products have added copper, but it’s like .0007 % or something like that.

HI.
IF YOU FEED THEM WITH RAW SHRIMPS, THE FISHY (MALANSANG) SLIM MIGHT CAUSE THE WATER FOULD ODOR.
IF YOU FEED THEM TOO MUCH DRIED SHRMPS THAT THE UNEATEN DRIED SHRIMPS REMAIN IN THE WATER, THEY WILL ROT AND CAUSE FOUL ODOR.
IF YOUR KOIS EAT THEM ALL, THEY WILL NOT CAUSE FOUL ODOR. WELL OF COURSE THE […]
So will my pH only raise to a certain point or should I be watching it carefully?

Oh forgot to say that the KH was 4 drops now.

The last tests were all done in the evening just before lights out. I just did a test for pH this morning after the lights had been on for a couple hours (I forgot to do it before the lights came on). The pH was 7.2 this afternoon. What will cause the […]
