After some time I am writing again... It was a lot of work for me during the last weeks and I was very exhausted. Yesterday I bought 2 specimens of Green Pufferfish. These fishes are really cool and very peaceful! Although many aquarists consider them as aggressive towards smaller species, ...

After a short break when I was very busy with my business I have done another water change in the small aquarium. I also removed the bag with activated carbon outside of the filter because the less foam in the filer is, the worse quality of water is. The water ...

pH: 6.8-7.1
dKH: 2
dGH: 14

Seeing hundreds of small Ramshorn snails in your aquarium is probably what you don't want to experience. They can "infiltrate" into your aquarium in a couple of ways. The most common way is buying aquarium plants from other fishkeepers or from aquatic stores. Another, but not very usual way how ...

Yesterday I increased the temperature by another 1°C to 26°C. Apple snails are breeding like rabbits :D these days and I am wondering how many small specimens are going to survive. Another new cocoon means potentially another 30 small snails.
Today I am going to change some amount of water as ...
