Yea I can understand. I have used Cory cats but that is it.

Is there another fish that could be just as beneficial that would work with what I have?

Ok I knew they produced more waste but I wasn't sure what to up it too. So after looking around for stocking would two rams, a bn pleco and then a school of 6 either tiger barb or terra work?

Yea understand. I do a 5 gal change once a week so i should be ok. Hopefully i can find these fish local as I don't have many choices for lfs. Most are salt water driven as well and don't carry much fw stock.

The apistogrammas look really neat. Saw on liveaquaria that they are a difficult fish to keep and in no expert ha. The rams seem like try are with in my range though. I am not looking to breed them so could I get 2 females and be ok? I figured two males would be aggressive to each other. And...

Alright angelfish sounds good. I was considering them but leaned toward the Africans for the colors. Will the angles be ok with the barbs and would a Cory cat be able to live with them? Do angle fish mate easily? And should i get two females and one male?

Considering converting my community tank into a Cichild tank. I know they prefer rocks more so so I was seeing what everyone's opinion would be for the set up I currently have as to if it would work for cichlids. I have a 37 tall. Was thinking 2-3 Africans with a school of 6 barbs and bottom...

One of my decorations broke and I want to put it back together and was wondering if gorilla glue is aquarium safe? It's a fresh water tank with some live plants. I've seen some threads using superglue with coral frags but also some algae problems with certain glues. If there's something better...

How bad are nerite snails on live plants?

So after about a week and a half with a 15% change, willow branches, and purchase of a water wisteria plant and moss ball, the water has cleared up the green for the most part. Tank is just a little cloudy right now though.

Ok cool. Thanks alot for the suggestions

I'm dealing with the same problem, could you give some suggestions as the which plants? I added a moss ball and a water wisteria to my tank but wonder if there's something better I should be using.

Will update in a few days. Just did around a 45% water change and put the willow in.

So i just tested my water to have the most current results and got a nitrate reading of 10 ppm. I have a 37 gallon tank with 4 neon tetras, 4 xray tetras, 2 white mollies, 4 mickey mouse platys, 1 guppy, 2 green cory cats, and 1 mystery snail. I only feed once a day excluding Sundays and other...

So i was able to get some Curly Willow at a near by florist. hopefully itll work!

But dechlorinated water is ok to use?

Just wanted to make sure I was on the right track... I've been battling some green water and have tried to keep filters on my tank clean so they can do their job. I currently wash them out in dechlorinated water since I figured rinsing them with old tank water wouldn't do much. Is that ok as...

I ordered the duck weed off of eBay. still waiting for it to come in. My guess would be Thursday or Friday. Seller ships on Monday and from Montana to south Florida would be around then. Couldn't get all giant duck weed though. Had to get a regular and giant mix

WOW! I sure hope that happens for me. This is mine. Its gotten slightly better but still bad.

On a side note I remember reading that nitrites turn into nitrates and that nitrates are what algae feeds off of correct? Just tested my water and got this for results It looks like my nitrates are a little high (3 range) what can I do to lower them? Sorry im pretty new at this.

unfortunately I don't have any good lfs near me and are constrained to petsmart/PETCO. Would anacharis plant work for a good floating plant?

exactly lol it becomes finding a needle in a haystack ha. But since you used the duck weed, I know you didn't remove it but if you would want to do you think you could easily?

Yea I looked on Google just to make sure it was what I thought it was. Just can't say that I remember seeing one in south Florida

So I've been dealing with green water for a while and its slowly gotten better but its still has green tint to it. Is there a place you can buy branches? I wouldn't know where to find a willow tree if I had too.

Thanks alot everyone.
