PLECO POOP and NITRATE Levels
Hello to all my subscribers! Thank you for coming back to watch my videos!! This video is about my pleco and how he’s busy messing up my aquarium. I’ve noticed lots of long strings quite recently as my pleco has been growing. These strings are pleco poop.
My concern is that too much pleco poop causes nitrates to rise to toxic levels. I’m monitoring my fish and keeping an eye on their overall behaviour.
So how do you deal with this problem? I have been picking the poop out as it is too big and just sits at the bottom of the tank. It does not go through the filters. Let me know in the comments.
Here is the video of when my Oscar was injured:

What Happened To My Oscar Cichlid??? Fish Bite?
Просмотров 14428 дней назад
Hello to all my subscribers. Thank you for coming back to watch my videos! I noticed my Albino Oscar Cichlid had a large section of his scales missing and I was wondering what happened. My initial thoughts were that possibly the fish had been fighting for territory as these cichlids are quite territorial fish. The location of the injury is a little unusual as the fish usually fight with their m...

    • @CichlidLove
      @CichlidLove 14 дней назад

      Hi thanks. How many fish will depend on your filtration and also how much rocks you can have in your tank. The idea is to have enough fish just to curb aggression. More rocks will give the fish more hiding places so allowing you to add more fish. Another consideration is the water change routine.
