yes it is, string/line-like white color worms, very thin.
cool, good to know that it's not harmful.
Thanks, will go search for gravel siphon.
Is it the string like white color worm?
Not harmful actually, guppies and platies have them as snacks.
Those Ron mention not costly, think the dymax ones are even less then $10.

Actually i had a lot of "living things" in my tank before i introduce fish in. After the fish went in, I can't find any of these "living things" anymore. Probably ended up in the fish stomach or they are REALLY that good in hiding...
Happy that your tank finally cycled properly. Congrats.
haha thanks cyberkinetic bro
you were also one of the more patient ones towards my thread. good to know that your tank is doing well too! and yes, Seaview is also one of my favourite shops as of now
wongce bro also of course
Anyway, will post some pics soon!
My 2ft tank now has 3 Figure of 8 puffers, 3 platys and 1 neon tetra (i think). Even though they are great cleaners of what my puffers cant finish, it seems a little too crowded and messy at some time...wanted to remove all of them once my puffers are here initially, but i realised that during cycling phase, i fed them everyday and they even grew bigger!
But if any bros here don't mind to take over my platys and ?neon tetra? (1 inch fish with a thick black line across the length of the body), i'm more than willing to part with them.
if not i would need to throw*glup* at some point of time. Can i return these fishes to the LFS where i bought them from?
Congrats. You can join my club.Originally Posted by Cyberkinetic

Planted "boon" tank.
It was swarming with boon until I added 2 juvenile platy.
Kotaro, you able to post in buy sell already? Else you can whatsapp your friends or wait for people looking for certain fish.
Do your puffers whack MTS ?

yes i'm able to post in buy/sell. will do so soon
i don't have MTS for them, i only self-breed normal water/pond snails for them.
They whack till nothing left, sometimes not even shells
another thing, i currently have 1 otto in my tank. read online that they prefer groups of 3-4? is that a must?
My tank has got some brown algea forming here and there, and after reading up, i found out that otos and SAE are the better ones?
Should i get more otos for now? Or can i comm oto and SAE? Because oto is kinda....ugly to look at
Sorry to hijack your thread. My tank is been flooded for 2 weeks but got hair algae boom. So I remove all water n black out for 2 days. I have now reflooded my tank for 4 days and tested water today. Ammonia 0.25, nitrite 0 and nitrate 0.
Does it mean that cycling have not started?
Thanks
I've 2 otos and they are always busy running around the tank. I kind of like them for the excellent work cleaning up the algae on the tank walls.however recently I find that they are not as productive..not sure if it's to do with me feeding them with the sinking pellets meant for the corys. enough to eat so not doing the algae job now.
I was reading that the SAE are good jumpers, should have some cover to prevent them out of the water. Not sure how true though.

New tank setup? Size? Nature of setup? I think tank usually takes longer time to cycle completely.
I think you should give more info so it'll be easier for the folks to advise you accordingly.
Yes it's a new 2ft iwagumi setup. Using 2213 canister filter. Currently got some mature mini fissiden on mesh and one on lava rock from my old tank. Oh also some frogbits, they grow quite fast. I did add some BW bacter crystal bb to speed up the process. I am using seachem prime for chlorine removal. Did 20% water change for the 1st 2days, today is 4th day.
Should I add some fish food for ammonia?
I'm no expert, but I suppose you are trying fishless cycling?
It will take weeks before the tank will be cycled I think. Fish food for source of ammonia yes, but maybe you may want to try putting the fish food in a mesh bag or something, else it will be rotting all over in your tank. Not a pretty sight.
Again... Patience... Patience... and more of it..
Yes, I am trying fishless cycle
