This is my aquarium now. The plants i just trimmed after my weekly water change. Fish has slightly changed already most are danios, mollies, guppy and my longest staying swordtails which is has grown long already. So far I am able to make my aquarium stable though there were a few deaths due to some health problems with some of my fish. Generally speaking my tank is healthy and plants has doubled as I compared to my previous photo uploaded here. I have just hard time aquascaping it since the space is small and I could not accommodate all of them when they grow and overcrowds my tank. My only concern now is the algae growth on my tank seems to be quite troubling since they are also very fast to grow. I am contemplating of buying some algae control solutions to keep them at bay.

@louievill I bought the otocinclus catfish they were supposed to be suitable for my nano tank but inlost two of them already. They seem to not survive after consuming the majority of the algae.

@rsa101 scavengers like a small catfish would also eat food not eaten by fishes. A small janitor fish is also a very hardy scavenger . What scavenger did you put?

Algae can be a real problem. You definitely need to find a solution soon

@amitkokiladitya I am looking into some products online which claims to remove algae chemically without affecting livestocks. But I have not bought it yet and research further if the claims are true.

@RebeccasFarm Sometimes it happens but I am getting used to that already. It needs a lot of attention always especially in my case were my tank is just small.

Your aquarium looks good. It's well-maintained. I think.

@Nakitakona Before I really got worried but now I take it one day at a time. Sometimes it is inevitable that tank becomes contaminated with parasites. It is enough that you need to be vigilant for the signs and take action. Although there is no guarantee that you will succeed in every intervention you do sometimes the fish just is not strong enough to survive it.

Thanks! I am happy how things are going on around it. There are some unfortunate events that happened here and there but I think that they are part of the hobby to lose some fish along the way. You cannot really have a tank that will not encounter this tragedies.

@jobelbojel That’s why I hesitate buying another one for fear I will lose them again after sometime.
