Wild caught fish are used to eating live food and can take a long time to transition to recognizing prepared products as food,
white worms, daphnia, mosquito larvae etc are good starters for them.
Big fish can eat little fish. :fshi:
you can't really see bacteria,
Fish poo and wee in the water which is like fertiliser to plants/algae and like swimming in a toilet for the fish
bacteria consume the excrement and turn it into something slightly less harmful to the fish
bacteria in a bottle only kick starts the bacteria, the really good bacteria takes a while to build up to the point where it can eat all the crap and turn it into safe stuff for the fish and less food for the algae
cutting the light down will help to reduce algal growth but until the stuff it is feeding on it will come back
so you need to starve the algae
this stuff is good to work with, just dig the edges in.
Chopped up an old Totara post for an edge on the egg laying side, the wood won't damage the turtles plastron.
