At this stage in your tanks life you can just blowtorch off the api with a warehouse pencil blowtorch. Mine hasnt returned in the 6 months since I did it.

4x5ft t8s in cool daylight is your cheapest "diy" option -

they will be washed out for a few weeks before they start to colour up.

Hey mate, can sort you a 3 ft setup with everything including fish for under 100 whenever you are ready, txt 0221649346! Can even drop it over if you need and give you a bit of an intro, spread the aquatic love ( aka mts)

I would say in that case they are courting, which under the right circumstances could lead to mating.

in my 130 litre i have about 200 plants. 1 t8 powerglo , 1 t8 cool daylight, and 2 t5ho powerglos. Every 3 months i have to scrape a little bit of green dot algae off the glass but not enough to hinder my view of the fish. You need more plants, 4 isnt enough for a fishbowl.
-
plant some *more* plants and feed them some flourish comprehensive, once they are established they will outcompete the algae for nutrients. Also look at replacing your bulbs if they are old

What a out a nice pair of p. taeniatus of some colour variation

your photos are amazing mate and so are your fish!

My flatmate bought one once, it says EXTREMELY toxic to all aquatic life, remove all fishtanks from the room before spraying. I didnt take the chance, and have too many tanks to move. Instead i got a 5 dollar electric fly swat which is awesome fun and just tap them into a tank and most fish love them. Up to my third zapper now !

Its just a fish shop telling you the only choice is to buy their gimmicks, google is much more helpful and less likely to see you coming i find a big waterchange effective in dealing withh algal blooms
-
You will be fine with compressed air for that journey.
-
which fish did you end up keeping out of the original lot?
-
please name these tankbuilder to save other people in christchurch the hassle, and in the future allow me to recommend Dave Evans as a very well regarded tank builder (as good a quality as Cam at petworld and far cheaper)
