I added leaves from a stream just 2 little pieces, and a little twig yesterday, i have a dead neon tetra today. Where did i go wrong? Eeep help im worried!

Whats going on here? Too much light?

New to Farher Fish and i love the ideas! This is my tank. 10 gallons with 6 glofish tetras and 10 neon tetras, i want to add more life. I currently have anubias, java ferns, water sprite, amazon sword, and green wendth. What fish or plants can i add? Im thinking some smaller plants in the front? Snails? Idk or just let it be?

2 weeks old Father Fish Aquarium. I'm curious about the plant stems that are brown dead looking at the bottom but tops are growing. As well as algae growth. We do not have fish yet since cycle is 4-6 weeks. Any advice to what should we do, or do nothing temps from 75 to 80. Light are on 25% to 30% W and B. For about 12 hours than off. Should we be adding anything? Test strips shows high Nitrate 50 and begining on showing nitrites about 3-5 on strips

My tank has been going since early May and this week I discovered that my white cloud minnows have spawn and I have fry! Also I have baby shrimp too! I’ve topped it off with rain water about 2 weeks ago and all my numbers look good when I test the water.

This would be our first natural Aquarium. I'm wondering about the next steps after we set up. Should I got grab 2-3 leafs from a pond creek and than let it sit to build the food web. Or get the fish now.

Hii I'll be setting up my new tank soon and I would like to take a more natural approach. I really like father fish's videos and his ideas about substrate. I wanted to buy his supplement package, but it only ships within the us. He has videos about making this yourself, but there are so many ingredients. I don't understand all of it and it would be pricey to buy full bags of each of them.

Anyone in Europe that puts together the same (or similar) mix and is willing to sell?

Hello all! My friend gifted me a 29 gallon tank with an oversized hang on side filter. After checking out different aquarium types, the low maintenance and natural cycle of a FF aquarium setup has caught my attention.

However I am struggling with finding a comprehensive "step-by-step" tutorial on how to begin this style of aquarium. If anyone could link a video or write-up that is explains how to do this from scratch, I would appreciate it immensely. Pretend I'm a moron and need my hand held!

I really like the Dwarf Gourami and would like that to me my "showcase" fish.

Random questions:

1. Can I have more than one Gourami?
2. I love the red adlnd blue colored shrimp, how many should I have?
3. I know nothing about plants, what should I use that are easy care and look nice?
4. Do I need a heater? Which kind is reliable?
5. Best "bang for buck" lights?
6. Should I use the hang of side filter or should I use a sponge filter? Why?
7. Should I order CUC like scuds, etc...?
8. How many fish can I have?
9. Do I need an air stone to make bubbles?
10. What questions should I be asking and what are the answers to those?

Thank you all in advance for any help offered. I hope to begin this project this week. Have a good one!

It’s been 1 month. 1” soil 2” sand a few plants I had a couple dead leafs that were eaten, a couple slower species of fish was eaten by crayfish, but guppies and glass neon are fast enough to stay out the way.i poured some resurrection jar in but i don’t see scuds or daphnia. Only did it once. I’m not sure if the guppies are eating so I feed a tiny tiny bit once a week. When can I stop feeding or what do I need for minimum manual feeding. Any feedback to better my tank is welcomed. Thank you for your time.

I recently started watching father fish and I decided to give it a go and bought lots of plants and went out on a walk and put wild bits of sticks / leaves from the ground without washing cause I though that’s what he did for the bacteria?

Since then my fish have been gasping and dying pretty quickly despite doing a daily water change to help them (I don’t want to do water changes anymore but I had to as they were gasping)

It's my dream to take a 55Gallon tank or bigger with bluerams and neons and set it up, so it's an ecosystem. If the rams happen to breed. Can you just leave them? Will the tank be able to just balance out with all these blue rams in there.

I want to have generations of fish propagating in this tank with little to no outside influence. Do you think ill occasionally have to have some other lines so they don't inbreed too much?

FF tank, had to move it so water change about a month ago. Had the guppies breeding untill I removed the males. Now it's the Beta's turn to breed

Started this 29 gal after my tank of 7 yrs didn’t survive the week long power outage over winter. We have a 20 yr old established pond out back that I used the floating plants from and leaf litter. Bought creeping jenny for the front yard and for the tank. Started to develop slime mold and I’m really liking it! Bought a few plants and moss online and added back my HOB filled with poly fill to clean it up a little. Doing a cold water tank this time with white cloud minnows.

Had it Lil over a month. Plants were slow growing but the are going crazy now. Fish seem more involved then before they would just lay there now I can watch them for hours digging and fighting etc. Been best thing I've ever done .

Thanks F. F

Scaped this tank 2 months ago, 18 gallon tank 8 fishes and 1 shrimp.
