I literally just put some new plants in, it must have have hitched a ride

Anybody know? Just plants and RCS in the tank.

Hey guys, I'm in Rockford, il looking to get some RCS and MTS. Nobody near me sells them. I'm open to other types of shrimp. Please let me know if you have some available as well as pricing. Thanks in advance!

I have moved it yes but the only dead spot in the tank is right under the filter

I have 2 moss balls I recently put in my tank. As you can see, one is healthy while the other may be beyond saving. Does anyone know why this would happen to only one? Is there any fixing this?

I can't tell they are tiny. It looks more like antennae if anything. Considering this is the first I've dealt with them can you give me any info? All I have in the tank currently are RCS, plants, and some pesky snails. Will this be harmful to the tank or any inhabitants? Where did it come from...

Hey guys, I've recently started my very first planted tank. So far I'm having a blast with it as well as my shrimp. I do have a snail out real beginning which isn't great but I can keep it in check. My question is about this tiny guy below. It almost looks like a snail or something, but...

I'm looking for around 20 RCS. Please let me know if you have some for sale and what you're looking for in terms of price. I'm in northern Illinois

Have you done a water test lately? That can be a sign of poor conditions

I just saw my peacock yesterday for the first time in 3 months. Gave me a bit of a scare I'd forgotten all about him

I recently added a few snails to my tank. I've got a gold mystery, two zebra, and to be honest I forgot the last one but it's some sort of nerite snail. Since I added them I've found these white spots showing up on some driftwood. I know the gold mystery snail lays its eggs above the water but I...

Oh it will. It's a very deep black I love it

Ya twenty pounds should be enough. What I did and would recommend doing is pouring about 10 lbs into a 5 gallon bucket. I used a short hose attachment from my sink so that I could really get down to the bottom of the sand. Fill the water up and let the fine stuff rinse off a bit. Empty the water...

The Tahitian moon sand is a very deep black. I just replaced my old sand with it about a month ago. Very easy to rinse. I say moon sand

Hey I'm looking to add a uv sterilizer to the pond this year. I've got a 1000 koi pond. I'd like something internal with a power head so I do t have to do any digging and plumbing on the current pipe work. I've checked out the model made by aquatop made for ponds. I just purchased the aquarium...

I have a viaaqua. I don't remember the name of the model but it's got the external LCD temp control. Have 0 complaints about it thus far. Been running a month or so

Fish size of 1 inch per gallon

Personally I'd just raise the temp of the tank. Also try adding a bit of aquarium salt to the tank. To me it's a much more natural cure than dumping chemicals in there.

Marineland makes some nice led fixtures. This April thy have one coming out designed for plants with built in timers for white and blue led. That's all I know about them so far

I've read this is a big BIG no no. BGK are my favorite fish and I've done tons of reading about them. They are basically blind and use minute electric sensors to find food and their way around the aquarium. Having two in just about any size tank will lead to extreme aggression towards one...

I used the liquid kit. To my understanding under a certain point it always shows 0. The reason I only do water changes every two weeks is because I have a very nice filtration system on the tank. I've been doing this for several years and I am very familiar with tank cycling

Water parameters are perfect. 0 nitrates nitrites and ammonia. Currently it's a 55, upgrading to 75 soon. Tank mates include dwarf gourami, Bol rams, and an African leaf fish. All fish are 2 in or smaller and have shown 0 aggression. I've only had these guys about two weeks so I haven't done a...

I've got 3 clown loaches in my tank and one of them has been doing something a little funny. I often catch him sitting right at the top of the water like this. Is this something they do normally? I always thought they were mostly bottom to mid dwellers. Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Hey guys I'm looking for an easy way to rinse my new sand. I've got 75 pounds to rinse. I'm familiar with the bucket method but that's a lot of sand to rinse this way and will take a long time. I've read a little bit on people using pillowcases in the tub. Anyone know how effective this is? Or...
