How does my 25 gallon tank sound??Advise?
Okay so i got a 25 gallon tank. Freshwater.
I use a 20-40 power filter w. carbon.
I have a bubble curtain.
4 live plants. (Melon sword, chain sword, lily red and green)
Okay now for the fish.
I use stress coat organic and tap water treated with AquaSafe.
I also add aquarium salt to help fish keep electrolytes.
I also have a vacuum siphon and do this once every 1-2 weeks and change 25% of water.
I monitor levels with a Test Kit.
I feed my fish 2x a day with tropical flakes and give them treats of bloodworms every now and then.
Now I have a school of (6) GloFish
4 bettas- 3 female and 1 male. They get along great!!!
4 fruit tetra’s. Mixed color.
1 small SAE.
2 snails trapdoor.
Question…is this okay?
And these snails suck should I replace them with Ramshorn Snails?
Tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also there is a house for this fish to hide in
That sounds good. I am surprised that the male betta does not kill or attack the female bettas. Separate them if fights break out. By the way, I think fruit tetras are glass tetras or Albino black skirt tetras( or normals) that get ink injected in bodies. The ink will go away in 6 months or less( maybe more.
Hope this helps!!!!!!
Edit: After doing some research, I found a web-site that explains it all. Depending on what fish you got, it was either dyed or injected ( fruit tetras are black shrirt tetras that get dyed.). Here”s the web site.
