#green neon tetra

[chipped-chimera]

Since you guys liked the finished planted tank so much, have the tetra update!

A little bit of glass surfing is still happening but honestly was more because I was bugging them with my phone camera than anything. Most of today they were all over the place exploring~ also weird thing in the tank is a Banksia Seed Pod, threw it in for some extra tannins to help with any transition stress (natural antibacterial).

Every now and then a neon tetra will stop just long enough for a mostly non-blurry picture. They're absolute cuties and not spooked by ppl, I love them.

Added a few plants, stones and a coconut hide!

Thinking about getting some shrimp with green neon tetras or celestial pearl danios.

Also finally got that heater just waiting for a backing/background♡

Not that anyone asked for this but I've recently finally started setting up a couple tanks and keeping fish over the last couple months. I've wanted to do this for a few years now. Say hello to Saber and Merlin :)

what do you mean by black water? I'm Curious but I don't know fish things.

it's a style of aquarium where you add tannins to the water to get this tea coloration

tannins are released by wood and what's referred to as "botanicals," stuff you find in nature like seed pods, pine cones, leaves, basically organic matter that breaks down slowly in water. it's cool cuz the idea is that you're mimicking the natural environment of the fish, and it's really good for them! you can look up the benefits of adding tannins. i put leaf litter in my tanks, just not enough to make my water too dark. when i boil the leaves i even add some of the "tea" for an extra little boost.

visually it's just sooooo cool.... you can't go too crazy with plants since the light won't penetrate, but the botanicals plus just a few pops of green is gorgeous

neon tetras are considered ideal for black water because it's so close to their natural environment in the Amazon. they're happy in it, and in fact their bright colors are that way BECAUSE it shines so brightly through the tannins; in the wild it helps schools keep track of each other!

#bettas are also popular choices for blackwater #i think any fish would be stoked with a blackwater setup tho. in general fish feel safer in dim lighting #m2a #fish tag #fishblr #m2answers

some updates on my wet fish collection!

so I was out of town for four weeks and aquarium maintenance was reduced to “feed and fertilize twice a week, top off water as needed” courtesy of a friend of mine. the lights and CO2 were already on a timer, and I lowered the light intensity before I left. I came back to a ton of plant growth, and also a lot of algae!

the interesting thing to me is what kinds of algae grew. there is a decent amount of purple-ish dust algae covering the rocks and the crypt, some green fuzzy algae on the moneywort that managed to grow up near the surface, a small amount of cyanobacteria that was easily removed by plucking a few leaves, and, as you can see from the fluorescent green mass in this photo, a TON of hair algae that grew in a huge, homogenous mass. but no green water algae, no staghorn algae, the glass was mostly clear, and no blackbeard algae.

overall, it was a surprisingly easy cleaning job! the hair algae mostly came out en masse, and there are still strands of it throughout the aquarium, but I expect that it will die down soon enough now that I’ve done a water change and dumped in some flourish excel.

most amusing is that my neon tetras are no longer morbidly obese. between that and the lack of staghorn algae (which I had previously struggled with), this was a wakeup call to me about overfeeding my fish. I’ve since moved her highness the betta fish to a desktop tank, so I’m hoping that I can adjust my feeding tactics to be able to feed both the neons and all the loaches without relying on overfeeding to ensure that food gets to the bottom of the tank.

here’s the post-maintenance look:

I actually quite liked the jungle vibes before I cut all the plants back, but I think it made me realize that I actually really don’t enjoy the look of the rotala macranada (it’s the middle one of the taller plants remaining). the pink is inconsistent and ends up looking muddy, and it shoots out aerial roots like nothing else once it gets tall enough. I ripped out the ludwigia on the left side to replace it with ludwigia super red that I trimmed from my desktop tank, and I think I’m going to just rip out the rest of the rotala macranada later and fill the space in with more ludwigia super red and pogostemon erectus (which I ADORE).

once that’s done, I can let everything jungle out a bit more again. I enjoy the “so many plants you can’t see the back” look best!

#personal #petblogging #fishblr #aquariums #might need to add more sand to the sand bank #it seems to have dispersed a lot since I've been gone #and I like letting the loaches sift in it #once her highness settles into the desktop tank I'm gonna take down my shrimp tank and move them to this one #get a few more amano shrimp #and add a pair of honey gouramis! #that's end game plans #tho I actually did notice a few remaining alive cherry shrimp in the big tank #somehow having survived her highness's slaugher #good for them

Hey fishblr, so I've determined I think I have an outbreak of ich - in my introduced tetra. Not entirely sure it's 'stress ich' or ich that gained hold BECAUSE of stress - the spots are slowly increasing in some of the fish but it did not start in the gills like typical ich: I don't see any frequently going for oxygen at the surface.

I've read about running the tank at a warmer temp like 30°C/86°F, but I have a L183 Starlight Bristlenose in there (she's fine, far as I can tell, don't see any 'itchy' behaviour. Also she's covered in spots anyway so it'd be hard to tell) - although I've seen temp values vary wildly, highest I've seen is 28°C/82°F so I am not comfortable running the tank that hot, even for two weeks.

If I do treat it, it'll be the whole tank given the Pleco was sharing the same tank AS these tetra in the first place, just bought a week-ish apart. Problem is this tank also contains Ninja Shrimp and a lot of plants that I don't want to kill. They're just getting established.

Points for it being 'Stress Ich' (if that's real, hard to tell based on my cursory search): Behaviour wise the fish are fine now. Better than fine actually, they've adjusted super fast to the new tank, all out exploring and not always schooling so they clearly feel comfortable (which given they're green neons and everything says they're shy - real good actually). All energetic, not lethargic and probably wouldn't be able to tell they had ich without looking closely at them. Tank also seems bombproof stable with the amount of plants I have, and I have a external temp controlled thermostat monitoring the tank temp along with the internal thermostat of the heater itself so it's running at a constant 25-26°C/77-78°F (switches on at the lower end, shuts off at the upper, and it's a very slow heater on purpose).

Honestly I think they're just happy to be in a tank 3-4 times bigger than the display shoebox they were in with no cover at all. They have a jungle now with lots of microfauna and biofilm to pick at. So it's likely stress of netting/transition. I have been doing tank maint daily, but it's very sparing and I move slow - more to get them used to me messing around in there. Yesterday they followed around my cleaning magnet so I think they're not too fussed.

So uh ... treatment suggestions? I live in Australia btw so some products might not be available for me.

#fishblr #aquablr #planted tank #planted aquarium #green neon tetra #at least I'm pretty sure they're green neons though I'm second guessing #they've got pretty prominent red compared to normal #but definitely have the tip-to-tail neon stripe so idk man #they're happy which is important to me #but if this is actual ich ich I want to get on top of it before it actually gets bad

The green neons like photo bombing xD

Hi! I love your blog. Please may I have some advice?

I have a 90l community tank that is currently stocked with kuhli loaches, corydoras, endler guppies and neon tetras. The guppies breed fast so there's obviously a lot. I don't want to overstock, but I was thinking of getting a bristlenose pleco to combat the green hairy algae. Would this work in my tank?

Also it's currently gravel substrate because when I set it up I didn't know kuhli loaches were meant to have sandy substrate. They've been doing okay, and are fairly active, but I wanted to know if it's worth it to make the move to a different substrate.

Thank you!

hi! thanks for reaching out, I’ll start with your pleco question! while you didnt say how many of each fish you have, with basically all of them being schooling fish, I imagine you’re likely extremely close to or at capacity for that tank. bristlenose plecos are known to be little poop machines so I would be worried about the bioload being a bit much with current stocking of your tank.

I think I would recommend looking into your lighting (how long is your light on each day? is there sunlight hitting the tank?) & checking your parameters as excess nutrients can contribute to algae growth. if you still want some extra help with the algae, I would recommend giving a nerite or a little group of amano shrimp a try. they both have a much lower bioload and are generally pretty good at helping out with algae.

as for the substrate, how do the barbels of the corys and kuhlis look? are the rocks smooth or are they a little sharp and jagged? if you don’t want to strip down your tank (totally understandable—it’s a lot of work and there’s a lot of beneficial bacteria in your substrate), you may be able to add some sand to your existing substrate, though there is a chance that it will get snarfled around by the corys and kuhlis. I’m sure that some other people have also been there and would be happy to chime in.

I hope this helps, good luck and say hi to your fish for me! 🐟

i think cause greens sorta important with neta here and also bc im a fish nerd and green neon tetras exist mahis grandpa was a green neon tetra (and so was mahis mom but thts unimportant)

I will add this to the many reasons to why he likes green

#green is his comfort color so it would make sense that people in his life that gave me support and comfort would be associated with green #his mom's ink wasn't green but she had a green necklace he would chew on #when he first came to the surface it was raining and was surrounded by trees #the octo cushion was green #and green is just a vibe

[hyperfixation-floodgate]

Hello welcome to my infodump blog,

Here are my ember tetras and neon tetras in the tank I set up during a hyperfixation blast, enjoying a new plant.

Some ghost shrimp are hiding in there too.

This is my first ever tank, and it took a lot of self-convincing to actually decide to have an aquarium because there's a chronic fear of forgetting to feed or care for animals since I have ADHD. Thankfully, this tank is right next to my bed so object impermanence can't take this from me!!!

I get to wake up and turn on the light and see them all wake up from their own fishy sleep to get food, and I love it.

[Video id: A small fish tank with several plants, and a fluffy green carpet plant in front. Tiny orange ember tetras and neon tetras swim around and pick at the fluffy plant excitedly.]
