New Plants Purchased some Jungle Val, and Giant Hairgrass today! Ill post pictures when i get it put in.

Oh and the Beta is Rock Chalk, cycling the 5 gallon again (went into temp storage) So I can put a nice little Beta tank downstairs for Monster and the Wife.

I thought I would add a post with total cost so far Excluding fish/plants. As my goal was a cheap aquarium that still looked nice. This is all in USD Sand 2.75 @ Home Depot (I used the Quickrete Concrete Sand) Potting soil 5.00 @ Home Depot(I used the Miracle Grow Organic Potting Soil) 1 Simply...

This weekend I built MONSTER a sandbox, but while I was at Home Depot I decided to pick up some lumber for building a little Lamp Holder off the hood of my tank, Safety first! Monster loves feeding the fish with daddy and doing water changes, but we had a near miss this week and a lamp slipped...

And it continues! I decide that I want fish, but my Cycle is not done, I read that lots of plants fix this problem! I see my LFS guy, I buy every plant in the shop (Litterally) :facepalm::rofl: I purchase 6 Longfin Zebra Danios and 4 Ottocynclus, he joins my Sole survivor Tetra +2 Rescued...

Adding on to our little tank! I decided to go with a NPT, except my LFS carries 2 plants. Anachris and Hornwort, I order some DHG and Micro sword off Aquabid and plant it in my sand/potting soil substrate. I know that Amonia and Nitrates are going to wreak havoc on my fish If I don't get more...

Hey guys, have had my aquarium up and running now for 2 months now. I have been recording its progress with pictures and Will go over my first 2 months of experiences and tragedies. I was pretty into the hobby when I was a young teenager, as much as any 13 year old can be into anything that is...

Garden City There is a LFS here in Garden City, hol e in the wall but healthy fish for the most part. Hardly any plants though :S And very limited Saltwater Selection. But his prices are very reasonable. It's Tropical Arena, 911 N. 9th St. If you are interested in checking it out. I'm pretty...

6 baby guppies in aquarium when i got off work. She was a small momma so maybe she didn't eat to many. Who knows? Swapped her to the 35, will begin stocking this upcoming week.

She doesn't look smaller but I only have a few minutes this morning to take a look. Running late to work, haha. She may have started dropping fry. I didn't see any of them but there is a really thick corner of Vegetation in my tank they may be in there. I will update tonight if she did drop a batch.

Update: Female guppy gravid spot turned pink/light this morning when I went to check on her and feed her.

You can't fault the guy! He is what I would consider a Teenager, he just barely got his tail and full coloring.

Yes I added the HOB filter to my Cycled 5 gallon to get a good culture going before I set up the 35, I put in the 35 the Walstad style, and did the amonia test before introducing any plants, Currently ive got a few bunches of plants floating around up top and DHG planted in the substrate, and...

Thank you! If she does not pop for a couple of days should I put the male back in the 5, I really don't want to move them around much, I keep the tanks at the same Temp and the parameters are both good. I just got the 35 gallon up and running and the only other fishes in it are the 3 Black Skirt...

Ive only got the 2, the LFS guy says 1 small fish per gallon is a good rule of thumb. you think 2 females and 1 male is too much for a 5g? I guess i can put them in the 35g and make this a beta tank or a fry tank. Ive seen people raise guppies in Mason Jars for breeding figured this was alot better.

I saw several posts about pregnant guppies, I know she is pregnant how far along I have no clue. Like many in here first guppies i've owned. My issue isn't fear of the babies getting eaten its fear of my male guppy killing my female guppy. I have a 5 gallon tank pretty heavily planted so lots of...
