Re: Sick fahaka and I dont know what to do please help me.
I used white spot cure by wunder. Yes changed carbon. I have now percormed a 50-70% changed and treated him with salt also raised temperature. He is currently in a large net as he was getting scared and running into decor. Still breathing but belly up just did a big white stringy poo.

Re: Creeping grey .... fuzz of doom
Hey good to see another New Zealander. I wouldn't worry about it I had the same type of wood in my wife's tank with an Amazon puffer and all her fish were un affected. If you do not like it a bristle nose will get rid of it overnight. They love the stuff.

Re: Please recommend live plants for freshwater tanks
Apogenatons, barclaya, balanese crypts, hygrophillia augustafolia, red macaranda- requires iron dosing. Anything and everything is my method of choosing I add and see what grows in my tank at the moment I have about 20 apogenaton u dulatus babies in the tank.
