Ahh man, that's rough. I had a planted tank for several years, then went through a house renovation and a move. After about 2 years I'm getting back into it.

Any of these still available ?

Hey man. A price helps... So does a picture.

Thanks for the info, there is no injury site. I'll check out that food. Update - my gold Severums are now constantly at the top of the tank with their mouths up, looks like trying to breathe. I can't figure this out. I'll change the water again, but all Params are normal at this time. I also...

No injuries in the tank and no fighting. They're pretty peaceful. I'll try to get a video of it, but it's really unpredictable when he'll do it. The confusing thing is, nothing new has been introduced to the tank in several months. I perform water changes (30%-50%) at least weekly and the...

Thanks for the prompt response. I'm thinking fungal well. I'll try that med if I don't see improvement by the end of the weekend. I believe my heater has crapped out, so that may contribute to the issue. I'll get that replaced tomorrow. Second issue - I'm also a medical professional and I...

Amongst my tanks is a 60g freshwater tank with 2 red spotted severum, a rio indiria severum, 2 EBJDs and 2 clown loaches. All water Paramus are fine - ph 7.4 (has always run this); ammonia, nitrates and nitrites all at 0. The larger EBJD hasn't eaten in a few days and is presenting signs of...

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

It's been a while since I posted an update. Here's where I'm at today. I do need to clean the glass. I can't get algae to not grow in the glass.

I'm not bored with the discus, just considering exploring what else is out there. Having a school of like 40 neons would be crazy looking! (And it would only cost like $40....)

Currently I have a moderately planted high tech 55g. I keep discus (total of 6), along with some neon tetra, 2 GBR, and I'm growing out 3 clown loaches in there currently (temporarily). I am considering getting rid of my discus and trying something different. What do y'all enjoy keeping...

Careful with salt. Too much salt + plants = dead plants

You can see if on the leaves here.

I have 2. They get along with other SA cichlids. I have an EBJD, a blue acara, a rio inirida Severum, and some clown loaches. Just don't have plants with them. They destroyed my plants. They also did great with my discus for s brief period of time.

My lights are off right now and on a timer, I'll try to snap a pic tonight; but yes, I can wipe it off with my finger.

A couple months. Maybe 2 months with co2.

Am getting light brown algae beginning to cover rocks and leaves. I run co2 and dose flourish excel. I only feed 1x/day. Lights are on for 3 hours, the off for 4 hours, then on for 4 hours. Please advise.

Do you have your sink on as high as it will go? You can also try attaching it to a hose.

Discus are great. I think I have the most slow growing fish I could have picked. I have discus and clown loaches - not going to have any monsters any time soon.

It's growing very well, finally seeing a little growth from my jungle Val. Now I have started getting a little algae growth on the glass and on a few leaves, so I'm trying to combat that. I just assume that's part of having a planted tank.

Where in the panhandle? I'm in Pensacola.

Check the classifieds. There's a great deal on red cherry shrimp right now.

Ha! Thanks. Still waiting for my jungle Val (back left) to take off. It's finally began to root, so we'll see soon hopefully (although I am dosing excel).

Did some rearranging.

Congrats! Best wishes from Florida!
