    Planted shrimp tank

    I bought plants for a shrimp only tank, all the plants were labled, and I did research them before buying. Except this one,was not labled and having trouble trying to ID it on Google.

    I'm usually pretty good about not buying anything for my aquariums until I research first. I did get some watersprite and this plant. ID please.

I have plenty of shells but they fry are under a piece of driftwood and in a tiny flowerpot, in the back of the tank. For now...

    Sumbu dwarf shell dweller comps.

    Went to Eldora today looking for cichlids that like hard water and will thrive in my 40 gal breeder. Saw some one inch ink fin calvus that I loved, but to small to sex. Then I saw two pair of Alto Sumbu shell dweller dwarf comps, love at first sight! What a awesome fish! Without giving a deposit...

    Aquarium stand

    I'm moving and tore down my 40 gal breeder, and notice the left top of the stand is coming apart. The aquarium sits on the top edge, open top. How do I fix this? The stand was bought new and is less than five months old! The few people I talked to are not fish people and suggested only gluing...

    Betta

    I have no idea what happened, came home from work and my betta was dead. ( amm. 0, nitrites 0 and nitrates 10, no tankmates ) I swore I would never buy a fish from this petstore but loved the color of "Flash". Lesson learned.

    RCS

    I noticed a couple days ago some of my female shrimp have "saddles", which I understand are eggs and they are ready to breed. Well so far no action from the males!! Lol if they have bred how long before I see the females carrying eggs?

    Iriatherina werneri

    Seems like the male has his eye on a certain female and is trying his darnest to lure her to the java moss! She has been acting interested but no breeding activity yet, just the male showing his best colors and showing off his finnage! :) Not expecting to much since my water is hard, but...

    Thinking about getting rid of SW

    The good news is I bought a car that I had to have, the poor Lumina was on her last leg. money is going to be tight for a while, so thinking about tearing down the SW and going to FW, which would be cheaper for me at the moment. Wondering if I should get rid of the fish and corals and put...

Last week I saw two masses like these at the bottom of the aquarium but didn't realize they were eggs and cleaned them off...
