I Don't understand. Are you ironic?


I will give Them time to get acclimatized.

Yes, just a little sarcastic humor. I usually find most tanks to be under-decorated. They should be quite comfortable with all that cover.

This is the fishes.

I Don't see all of Them.
One fish Don't eat and stay still in the bottom. I put it in a nursery and I hope it starts eating.

Looks very thin.

Hi!

Unfortunately 2 fishes are death, but 8 fishes are alive and eat regularly, it is captive breeding.
Now With 8 carinotetraodon travancoricus (in 100x60x60cm) the tank seems empty!!!

Can I add another species? For example: One trichogaster leeri couple? (Or rainbow fish like pseudomugil?).

Thanks.

Help me pleeeease

Ps: in this first period the fishes are calm and isn't territorial. It doesn't "fight". Maybe i have a peaceful carinotetraodon travancoricus!
I know it's reproduced in breeding.

I would not add more fish recently after 2 deaths.

Now the Fishes are 7. (6 in group and 1 alone).
But they eat regularly and doesn't fight each other.

The water value is: (test sera box)
Ph7.5
kh 8
NO2 - NO3 0

You should be showing some NO3.

I have done again the NO3 test, with NO3 Elos.

The color is between 0 and 1, but closer to 0.
I think the result is about 0.4 mg/l, but it's hard understand the correct color!

Ps: the fishes accept only frozen chironomus. They don't eat frozen artemia and frozen daphnia.

I'll insist...... Or I'll try live foods.

Some people have had success adding otocinclus to a dwarf puffer tank.

I have add 5 otocinclus 3 weeks ago and they are ok.

I ask you about trichogaster or colisa couple..

I wouldn't add the others. Having your puffers and the otocinclus would be enough.

Hi!

Another advice.

My plants are a little bit suffer, Maybe there are low value of basic elements.
Can I add a Liquid Fertilizer?? I think ferropol JBL or easylife profito (reduce dose 1/3 - 1-4)

It's very Very hard translate this argument, then exscuse me xD. I hope it's clear
