Mko Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Here's a video of my gold spot stiphodon bought from Aquarium Central. He's pretty timid still but shows that he is a great algae eater. Enjoy Edited January 9, 2012 by Mko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 Cool little fish. I saw them at AC but didn't know much about them. Have you noticed him eating the BBA at all? Wondering if it might be a good alternative to a SAE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, maybe I'll try one out then as I have a little bit of BBA on one of my plants that my SAE isn't touching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
425nm Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Its...adorable. You don't have any problems meeting the oxygen requirements of these guys in a planted tank (assuming you have little surface turbulence that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mko Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 nope not at all my plants during peak hours pearl like crazy providing all the oxygen they need. and at night i lift up the mini elite filter to create surface agitation and nightime oxygenation of the tank Co2 during light time and oxygen at nightime just how the plants like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
425nm Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have yet to be able to get my plants to sweat T_T (That's what I get for not using substrate ferts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mko Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 what substrate are you currently using? light? co2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
