Over the last 2 weeks I have had 4 fish die. First a Platy looked like a pinecone which ive read is dropsy which is a symptom of a few different things. I removed the fish to qt same day I saw this but she died the next day. I had a 2nd platy same exact events about 4 days after to the same end...

Nice fish the Apisto Borellis looks amazing.

I go to Aquarium Adventure a couple times a month also. If you can get there you won't regret the trip.

I have 18 watts over my 15gal 24" tank also (no co2 for now). Been looking at getting Aquarium Light Fixtures: Coralife Aqualight HO T-5 Dual Lamp Aquarium Light Fixture but dont know anyhting about lights or if these bulbs are good for plants.

Currently my setup is 15gal 24" with the light and hood that you get together with the tank in the store. I believe its 18w with a "plant bulb". I'm looking to upgrade the light and am not sure what type and how many wpg. My current plants are Java Ferns, Crypts, Anubias, Dwarf Sags, Willow...

Hey guys Im looking to add some more Ramshorn snails to my tanks (my girlfriend loves them). I am interested in mainly Blue, but also Really Red ones and if I missed a interesting color. No brown (sorry dont mean to be racist, just have plenty :)) If you have some you are willing to part with...

Going to use it first to quarintine 3 card tetra to finish stocking my 15 gal. Then most likly going to put some low light plants a male betta and some shrimp (will see if he kills/eats them). Thanks for the help will wait a month with it running on my other tank.

Hi guys I just have a quick question and was hoping someone could help me out. I just picked up a 3 gal Picotope for my desk and it comes with a small hob filter. I was wondering how long I would need to run this filter on my 15gal that has been set up for about 18 months now, so that I could...

Your tank looks amazing. I was looking at getting a 40g for my next tank and was wondering what were the dimensions of your tank and what lights you use.

I have some live plants some anubias, java ferns and some tall crypts not sure what kind. Have low light and no co2 but these plants for doing fine, see slow growth.

I did a 30% water change right after I tested I always test before just to see where they are at before a pwc. Just retested and they are the same a few days later I will do another water change today. Any suggested methods of keeping Nitrates down? I do 30% weekly water changes and never...

Thanks everyone. I stopped and picked up some live blood worms yesterday on my way home and they just ignored them. I will try soaking some food today in garlic juice. I hope thay are just getting use to their new home. Seems that they are pretty active and like to peck at the smooth stones, but...

Thanks for the information. I do have live plants so I guess ill leave the lights alone. I will see if the lfs has some live food on my way home from work today. Garlic? do I fix it with the food?

On saturday I stopped by one of the lfs and saw these guys and thought they look amazing so I decided to pick up 2 to go with my 6 cardinal tetras and the few dwarf corries I have in my tank. They are swiming around fine and look healthy and active unless I get near the tank, then the hide...
