alanmin4304 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 When growing plants CO2 only will not do much good. It is the combination of CO2, ferts and light that is the trick so the more research you can do the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhli loach Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 What lighting bulbs would you suggest? In the way of ferts I was going for an under-gravel mix as well as supplementary doses of liquid ferts every so often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuhli loach Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Will kissing gourami eat smaller fish e.g Tiger Barbs, tetras? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 most fish will have a go at anything that can fit in their mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuhli loach Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Right! Have now purchased the 300L tank on Trademe :happy2: http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/f ... 659312.htm ....Now I have only the CO2 setup, more sand, lighting, ferts, 3d backing, a Hardness test kit and the plants themselves to go before cycling. Oh well, hopefully i'll be set by Christmas :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'll point out that you will most likely end up with dead dwarf cichlids if you mix them with tiger barbs, yet again, kissing gourami will most likely get too big for this tank, remove the tiger barbs and replace with Snakeskin barbs (rhombo barbs) and you would have a rather peaceful but active tank. (althought the ruby (rainbow) shark may become more agressiveas he gets older, normally they are fine though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
