Mine did well in a planted tank. But, personally I really think they need caves. Have 2 for each pair. 2 reasons. 1. Places for them to take a break from each other. 2. So they have a choice for where they want to spawn. Dither fish= any small and fast fish that are not aggressive. You could...

Thanks for the info Sent from my VS920 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

About 5 weeks ago I set up a 5 gallon aquarium and let it cycle. I got the tank specifically for a betta. I added the betta 2 days ago and he's doing great! It will be a heavily planted tank soon. I have some plants in there now but im going to get more. The tank also has a large(for a 5 gal...

Yesterday I got 4 bunches of Glosso. They are all healthy and are not rotting. The bunches are about 3 inches tall. My question is: what is the best way to plant glosso? What are the ways that work best for you guys? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I dose ferts and put in root tabs so I think I could handle the swords. I more want to break line of sight. But ill put in enough plants that it would be difficult for the rams to get to the other side.

My lights are 2 6000k 24 watt plant bulbs.

I am getting a pair of electric blue rams and a pair of gold rams to go in my 30 gallon planted aquarium. I want to make a kind of wall in the middle so the pairs don't see each other. But I don't know what kind of plant to use for this. The only plants I can think of are amazon swords. Does...

I have EC over dirt. My plants do very well and I don't dose ferts very much. I have a feeling its more the dirt than the EC but I like the black substrate look.

Mine were too. I always got the impression that those fish were nice but not someone you would want to mess with. Hehe My local LFS sells these guys as babies and has a display tank with about 4-5 of them in there and other africans. All adult size and the labidochromis have actually bred and...

No smaller than 30 and try to get a taller tank because they are tall fish.

I have kept both apistos, rams and Africans. In my experience Africans are much more aggressive. Between rams and apistos I like rams more. Although I cant really say that for sure because im still trying to get my hands on some apistogramma Atahualpa. I am setting up a planted tank for a...

That's a big boy and a nice fish. I used to have 3 of these about 4 years ago but mine never got that big. How is the aggression from him? Do you have any others?

im having trouble getting him to eat now. he wont eat bloodworms, flakes or pellets. All of which he has eaten before. Does the formalin, salt or melafix make him not want to eat???

I put him in a quarantine tank today. I do 25 minute dips in a formalin solution then bring him back to the quarantine tank where I have aquarium salt and about 2 hours after that I put a dose of melafix into the tank. At first he was swimming really oddly and on his side but now he is...

Alright, so that might explain fin damage. But I haven't seen them nip at his fins even though I have been watching a lot. It doesn't explain the whitish film on parts of his body and fins though.

I got a Smokey Pinoy angelfish from angelfishusa.com about 2 weeks ago. He was doing well until about 3 days ago and then he started to get this whitish film over parts of his body and fins and he wont open his dorsal fins. And his fins seem to be torn up but there is no other fish in the tank...

Most of the time it is dead. But the rest of the time its alive but it doesn't really grow. I don't understand why im having trouble because my setup has only gotten better.

Sorry about that. :P

Oh. That's what you need to know? I cant believe I forgot to put T5 in the original post. Im sorry. They are both T5s.

Sorry, the bulbs are actually 24 watts. I don't know the diameter but the length is 22" or 559 mm.

They are tubes. And what do you mean by what kind of light fixture? How much wattage it can handle?

I am pretty sure that they are 6k bulbs. I know they are Foster's and Smith bulbs. They were labeled for plants. I know you cant rely on labels to tell you if they are good or not but I checked the bulb's specs and they seemed good to me. BUT, I only have limited knowledge on the lighting side...

Alright, as stupid as it sounds..... for whatever reason I'm having trouble with my moss. I have anchor moss mixed with some Taiwan. I used to have anchor, flame and Taiwan. I originally had the anchor moss and it did great so I went ahead and got Taiwan and Flame because I liked the anchor moss...

I have 7 red phantom tetras. all are healthy and eating fine. but one has turned from red to a light pink and is much fatter than the others:confused:. it acts normally and no other fish are sick or look strange. is the fish pregnant? does it have a parasite? please respond asap because I am...

so about 2 weeks ago my tank was hit with some kind of parasite. I think it was inside the fish and it ate the food they ate. so quite a few of my fish died including 2 out of my 3 angelfish.:banghead: the surviving angel is a koi female. she has bred once. she started eating less around the...
