    Question for possible transition

    So,... here's the question: my 38g which has a plant light and currently full of community fish, would the black sand be a good substrate to put my little sprigs of anubias plant into to have them grow? I have Flourish that I've been treating my other plants with, but they seem to get lost in...

    Help! I'm a grandma!!!

    So, there I was minding my p's and q's just figuring I'd kick everyone into the 38g tank. Mind you, I had realized I hadn't seen the female apistos in awhile... Much to my surprise, I have fry!!! Currently, I'm thinking of moving the entire apistos family into the 10g with white sand so I can...

    How big is too small?

    I'm sure that sounds backward, but here's my question: If I have my 2 African Leaf fish, and they're probably every bit of 3-4" in length, will I be able to put GBR or skirt tetras in the tank with them, or will they get eaten?? There are two clown loaches in there, about 2" and they're just...

    What Am I??

    Does anyone have the slightest clue what kind of plants I have here? I understand they're awkwardly in a betta container atm, but I didn't want them to dry out whilst I'm getting more substrate to put in the bottom of my new 10g. :) I just wanted to know what I have here, so then I can...

    2.5 gallon... planting possible?

    Good day, all! I'm debating on the wisdom of possibly planting a 2.5g mini tank. As of right now, it has a complete glass lid, sand substrate, a moss ball, and my new betta, Patriot, in it. Questions are these: A: Is it possible to plant a tank like this due to it's miniscule size? B...

    Blank Canvas

    So, I have a 37 gallon tank that is a blank canvas with sand substrate. I'm thinking of doing a pseudo saltwater with african cichlids. Thoughts? Also, what is the prime depth that substrate should be on the bottom of the tank? I opened one package of the sand and it covers the bottom nicely...
