Just wondering if anyone has tried bactershield for early signs of columnaris? Just lost a sword tail in a 16 hour period and now the other female has 2 tiny spots on her tail and the male has a small amount of white around his mouth. I'm treating my 20g as directed now.

Just got my 20g up and running and noticed some funny feeding behavior. My dwarf gourami likes to grab his food and spit it out a few times before eating it. When he was alone it was fine, but then I got some swordtail. While feeding I noticed the gourami picked up a brine shrimp, spit it out...

I work at a bargain shop and we just got a handful of Tetra Water Wonder 1.5G tank kits. I was looking at them to possibly start a small invert tank. I've never kept inverts before but am interested in getting some shrimp and/or snails. I was wondering what variations and quantities would be...
