Hi all, I recently added 8 zebra danios to a 20 gallon planted tank (no tank mates for now). Anyways, I've never had this fish so I'm not very familiar with their behavior, but I've noticed a lot of aggression. It's constant chasing, and I noticed today that one of them has a nipped fin. Any...

So over the past couple of days, my 2 year old betta has been acting somewhat sluggish compared to her usual self. I honestly didn't think much of it until today (my error). Today she looks terrible. She's barely moving at all and has some sort of whitish/clear mass that appears to be coming out...

Thanks for the help. I'll try that.

Hi all, This has been happening for a while but I just never posted a question on it. I've had some water wisteria in my 20 gal tank for around 6 months now. The plants are growing just fine and producing new leaves. My problem pertains to the old leaves. I'd say about 70% of the old leaves...

Thanks for your help. If it is a type of fungus, how can I get rid of it?

Hello! This morning I woke up to find what almost looks like white fuzz on my Java Moss. I have never seen it before and I don't know what it is. So far, I don't see it on anything else and the plant seems unaffected at the moment. Is this a type of algae or something else? How can i get rid of...

Okay, I will look into those models. Thank you!

Though I would still like to know, what type of light would be good?

Thanks for the advice!

I wasn't planning on using Co2 so I guess low tech. The plants I am planning on Cyperus helferi Anubias nana Java moss Water Sprite Duckweed Thanks for helping! I have never done live plants before.

Hi! I am new to planted tanks and unsure what type of lighting I should use. The tank is 20 gallons (24 in. by 12 in. by 16 in.). All the plants I plan on getting require 2-5 wpg (according to my research). The tank will also be housing neon tetras which I know appreciate lower lighting. So...

Hey! Does anyone have any experience with using FloraMax as a substrate for planted tanks? I picked up a few bags of it the other day for my 20 gallon (all that is in there right now is water and substrate). Despite extensive rinsing, it still makes the water very cloudy. How can I get rid...

Thanks for the advice! I have no idea what the pH would be as the fish are at my LFS.

Hey! This is my first post so here goes! I am currently in the research phase for setting up a 20g neon tetra tank. One apparent problem is that my tap water's pH is too high. It's 7.8 but I've read that neons like slightly acidic water around 6.5. I was wondering if this jump in pH is too...
