    I saw someone else on here who also had those growing in his tank. I think they were either some kind of itty bitty snail or some one-celled animal thing. You could try searching for the thread?

    Helping finding the right plant species for me?

    Probably my light then. Hopefully when it gets a little closer to the light it'll start to fill out. Also, is there any plants that i can tie to plastic? I've heard Java Ferns are good low light plants that can be tied on to things. Will they work for me?

    Helping finding the right plant species for me?

    My Wisteria doesn't seem to be that bushy though, does it fill out as it becomes more established? So if i get a bunch of wisteria can it be kept short if i trim it? Or will it die?

    Helping finding the right plant species for me?

    So far my Wisteria is growing just fine, it's put on some new leaves in the 2 weeks i've had it and had quite a bit of new root growth. It is growing the rounded leaves though, not the jagged type it had when i bought it. And i just planted anubias today so we'll see how it goes. I'm not...

    Planting a new plant, is this normal?

    squishy? not really. The white roots are firm and feel lie they are alive, while the black tips just bend and have no strength. 2 days in the tank, the black tips are still there, no worse. The plants kinda started to brown but only on a few leaves on a few of the plants. If they haven't died...

    Planting a new plant, is this normal?

    36 gallon. I'm not sure what kind it is, where do they usually print that? It is what ever Aqueon puts in their kits. Oh and it hasn't got any worse. And still no browning. But it isn't turning white either.

    Planting a new plant, is this normal?

    Just the stock lighting, a 8000k daylight spectrum. I was told that'd be enough for wisteria. And the leaves are perfectly fine. No browning at all. So far at least.

    Stocking a 36 Gal?

    Okay so I'd probably be okay with a dwarf? I keep seeing mixed info on them. I see them listed as great community fish, but everyone says they are aggressive. I think if I just watch for aggression like everyone has said and keep a single male I can keep one? I guess I can always take him back...
