pictures of algea in my tank - and my fish

15 years ago

Is this algea harmful to my fish? Will it go away on it's own? Is there something I should be doing to help get rid of it? I just tested my water and the water is great. My tank is newly cycled.

Hi The most important part is the "nitrogen cycle". Many ways to go about it. Easiest way is to introduce 1/2 small hardy fish and use a test kit to know when it's established . Google the procedure will give you tons of info ,besides you will also need info on comtatiblity" issues lol gary

I have had bad luck with mollies being fin nippers. Neon tetras and cories will survive better in a seasoned tank. The betta and guppies would be the easiest for a new tank. I wonder why bettas and guppies would be bad together? Maybe the betta would see the fantails as one of their own and try to fight with the guppies.

Dogma is holding firm to the belief that something could neither be a conceptually or practically superior practice because you believe something else seems to be satisfactory - 'works for me'. Old beliefs are like a pair of old shoes - we often value their comfort so much we tend to ignore the fact they're full of holes. Almost everyone prefers the relative comfort of belief to the exercise of reason because believing is easier than reasoning; which brings us full circle to why there are so many more believers than thinkers. My $.02 I'm pretty sure you're not suggesting that a haphazard approach (a little of this and a little of that, even though I know neither what the plant needs nor what I'm giving it) is a superior approach to a well-reasoned supplementation plan. Discounting all reason because we're satisfied with the status quo is self-limiting by default. BTW - if Punky's trees are in pots (don't think that was made clear), moving closer to how nature does things is an exercise fraught with obstacles. Growing in the ground and growing in pots are widely divergent cultures. On a scale of 1-10 with growing in the ground being a 1 and hydroponic growing a 10, conventional container culture is probably a 7 or 8. Al

I wish I had a fish tank to water my veggies with. I once had a large tank with two large mouth bass in it. They were small of course. Anyway the wife hated them and as soon as I left town for a few months for training they mysteriously died. Either they starved to death or they are living in the bottom of the sewer line. Anyway I would think the fish water would be kinda like a diluted version of a Neptune's Harvest type of solution. Betcha seedlings and young plants would love it. I might have to convince the wife to get a coouple of goldfish for "our son". Wink Larrick Larrick
