It would just be a pain to take out all the decorations i have in the tank each week to siphon through the gravel

Oh yeah the regular blues are awesome. My pairs taken out a few agressive tankmates (2firemouths) so its not a guarantee
I would do each week. I dont actually like gravel bc a lot of poop and food get stuck in it
I would rather have stuff get stuck than to have to look at it all accumulate on top of the sand. Do you think it would be necessary to remove all decorations or could i siphon around then
If my tank I would vacuum around everything and once a month remove all decor and vacuum under decor
Alright Sounds like a plan. My only problem now are the danios and cherry barbs I want able to get out of the tank, gotta hope i can keep ammonia levels down adding these new fish while keeping the cycling fish in. Once I take out all the decor to do a water change I’ll be sure to get them all out
Silica, phosphates, nitrates and low lighting. Would make sure ur nitrates aren’t too high. There’s good movement of current. Increase ur water changes to kee ur nitrates below 20ppm. Gravel vacuum it’ll take some time but will reduce.
Wouldn’t add the pleco as it’s waste will increase ur nitrates and it’ll end being a vicious cycle.
