What's your PH?

Livebearers need basic alkaline water, while corys prefer extremely soft water.

May I ask- why are you using CO2?

thefishboy

For the plants, its not an expensive thing just spray the bottle down the pipe every no and then.
My ph is 7.5 basic Oxfordshire water.

wow ! looking nice in there.
keep up with your water changes,as our fish these days are so inbred
that they are weak,especially the guppys.
great getting more plants.
don't know if i asked you this already............you got any friends,rellies,with
tropical fish ?
getting donations of stuff from established tanks can be invaluable.

my water is pertty much the same as yours.

thefishboy

And also got some water flea which there are enjoying! hence the little whit dots in the picture!
