does anybody have enough extras that they can put together a plant package for me? :O Looking for some plants to fill out a 5 gallon aquarium. Looking for: foreground plants- dwarf baby tears, star repens, Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo', crypt parva, etc. background plants: crypts and stem plants...

So, I'm Canadian, and when I moved to the US to be with my husband I had to sell all of my beautiful planted tanks. I bought a 5 gallon fluval spec about a year and half ago, and it's been nothing but problems though! lol. Recently I bought some new plants from a nice person on here, and I...

I've got a Fluval Spec V (5 gallon), and I've had it set up for just under a year. I recently replaced the stock light and grabbed a much brighter light (Finnex FugeRay Planted+). Up until now I've only had some crypts and anubias nana in it. I'd really like to try some sort of carpet and...

I have a pair of sunglasses that are some sort of plastic, and they have rubber nose pads. One of them fell off. is there any reason I can't use some aquarium sealant to stick the nose pad back on there? iit's safe for fish, so it should be safe for something near my face right? Sorry if...

Hey guys. I moved to the US a while ago, and I started to miss the tank I used to have back home. On the weekend I bought a 5 gallon and set it up, with a couple of plants. One of my good online friends who lives in another state offered to send me filter sponge from one of her old tanks. If it...

Hey guys. I have a 6 gallon Fluval Edge. I've had it for a few years now. These are (I think) the lights I'm currently using, replacing the stock halogens: MR11 10 White LED G4 Base "Color:White (6000K) View Angle:140 Deg/Consumption:2.1 Watt Light output:160 Lumen" Amazon.com: Ledwholesalers...

My parents have been out of town for about two weeks now. I'm watching the house + the pond. It's a pretty big pond.... but I couldn't tell you how many gallons. There are ten or so koi in it, some are almost two feet long. Well, it's been really sunny, and so the pond has turned a really...

AKA musical tanks. Hi! I have a 10 gallon with two betta mahachai and a khuli loach in it. I also have seven celestial pearl danios in another tank, which I'd like to downsize and get rid of.... is it possible that I can keep them all in the 10? Or does that become overstocked? I also have...

Have two betta mahachai and a khuli loach in a six gallon. Or had. Been meaning to move them up to a 10 slowly, but their filter died the other day, so I had to rush it. I set the new tank up yesterday, filled it with primed water / substrate, let it sit. Put the new filter in it today for...

I picked up a glass 10gallon from Value Village for $8. It seems ok, no cracks or anything, but there's some watermarking / mineral stains on it. What's the best way to remove that sort of thing? Thanks!

I bought a bag of celestial pearl danios from a local aquarium society auction a few weeks ago. There are six of them, and mostly they are fat happy little fish (if extremely shy). One of them I was worried about, because as soon as I got them home I noticed he was swimming funny. He didn't...

I saw this on an ad on Kijiji. Gotta share. Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Hahaha. LASERS are the solution to everything. Who knew! :whistle:

I have a pair of betta mahachai. They were originally in a 6 gallon very very well planted tank, and were happy for a few weeks, but then they became very shy..... they'd only come out to eat, the rest of the time they'd press themselves into the darkest corners of the tank - behind the filter...

I've been thinking about getting a 10 gallon... There are a couple for very cheap on my local kijiji, usually something like this: (Aqueon Basic 10 Gallon - Size: 20" x 10" x 10") How easy would it be to find good lights or a better hood w/ good lights for something like this? Anybody know...

I bought half a dozen red cherry shrimp, and added them to my tank. One of the females was carrying a bundle of little yellow eggs. Um. All of the RCS ended up getting eaten by my fish. :( I also have big amanos, but they have always been fine, and still are. A couple weeks later I caught...

I use Indian Almond Leaves in my water for my bettas.... I soak the leaves in a bucket of water for my PWC, and it turns a nice tea color. But after a little while of being in the tank, the color fades to clear. My tank is a Fluval Edge. I took out both the carbon and ceramic parts of the...

I have a 6 gallon that's been set up for about a year. It is mostly full of crypts (parva, wendtii 'Mi Oya', wendtii tropica, willissii), and I have some anubias nana petit tied to rocks and a piece of driftwood. All of which is doing pretty good, but they are short! I think the lights...

My tank is a 6 gallon fluval edge. It has been set up for about one year. Heavilly planted, mostly crypts. 3 stage filter, sponge, ceramic cylinders, carbon. I use Prime conditioner and make 30% water changes every week. The stocking is one betta fish, and the few amano shrimp that I have...

Got this for my birthday, at the beginning of May. I put in a carbon filter from an established tank, so its probably ready to go, but there isn't anything in it yet. This is from when I first set it up: Today my plants came in! It is sort of an experiment. I bought a few pieces of HC...

I set up a new 2.5G fluval spec about a month ago. After it had been running for just a little while, it developed this rainbowy oil sheen in the compartment where the pump lives. I took the pump back to the store I got it from, and they replaced it. I cleaned up the existing oil, but it came...

I bought some dried indian almond leaves for my betta tank, but its been over a week since I put them in, and the water is still crystal clear. I know that you have to remove the activated carbon, because it just absorbs all of the tannins... but I have a three stage filter - sponge, carbon...

I picked up a bunch of this from the local Big Al's Aquarium... they have a pretty big variety of stones you can buy by the lb. and they are all "aquarium safe". I even asked. I put some in my tank and within a day my amano shrimp were all listless and hardly moving. They never recovered...
