He is so awesome!! I wish I could find one like him, sadly being in Canada makes it a bit harder I think. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Lately I've been thinking of starting a shrimp tank so I'll definitely be following this. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I just used olive oil on mine, applied it with a paper towel to the background and put it on the tank, then used an old hotel card to smooth out the bubbles. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Alright I'm thinking its a boy, I can see the siphon in that photo plus something vaguely banana shaped behind his head so that's what I'm going with! On a side note, have you ever seen mystery snails go up for air? Mine did last night and it was really weird watching it suck in air! Sent from...

Alright so I am really curious about what gender my mystery snails are and tonight while taking some pictures of my tank and its inhabitants I also got some pictures of the inside of one of my mystery snails' she'll while it was moving about. Based on the pictures I'm thinking its a male but I...

Alright thank you, I'll have to go and investigate my super glue now Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

This is amazing news! I have some great ideas for this tank and now I can't wait to get started! Do you happen to know if super glue is safe to use in the aquarium? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Alright, I saw that someone was thinking of using plastic milk jugs that are cut to fit, would this be a good route to go or is there a better way? I would prefer something reasonably easy to do and change if I decide to. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Alright so I am wanting to redo my fish tank as I am not really happy with it. I currently have gravel in as the main substrate but I want to add a sand "river" in the tank, possibly on a slope. Do I need to use some sort of substrate divider? What can I use as a substrate divider if I need one...

Alright, I recently bought some mystery snails. When I bought the mystery snails the lady at the store was a bit rough and I believe she chipped part of the shell on one of them. Anyways, I took them home and they are doing great but the one who had a slightly chipped shell has had a lot of...

Alright well I will give that a try then! I am thinking about making a trip to one of the fish stores nearby to price out substrate from the store and then speaking with the person locally who makes substrate themselves. Hopefully within the next week or so I am on my way to a better substrate...

Thanks for the reply :) I guess I have no choice but to take the fish out, I wouldn't want to hurt anyone during the process! What do you think I should do about the plants that are already in there? And do you think I need to drain the whole tank or could I get away with draining 3/4 of it?

So I have had my 13 g tank set up for just under a month now and I just can't seem to stop tinkering with it... This tank has had a bit of a journey, I had originally planned everything out, I was going to fishless cycle it and get a good plant substrate and have an awesome planted...

Oops I'm not sure what happened to the picture but hopefully now it's attached I really wish I could get my hands on some used filter media but so far no luck, no one I know owns fish and the few stores I have asked have said no and tried to convince me that it was unnecessary.... I'm just...

Alright I have a few cycling questions because I feel like I have done something wrong with my cycle. I have a 13 g tank that has had 3 platies in it for around 2 weeks now. I have been testing my water every other day or every day since I put the fish in and I have yet to get a reading...
