    Update ony tank

    It has been a while since I've posted on here, so I'm going to update you all on my tank. Since my last couple of posts, I've lost my Orange Dwarf Crayfish and a GBR. I've pulled out some plants that I didn't find attractive. All of my fish seem to be doing fine. My stock includes: 7 Bentos...

    Flourish Excel not killing BBA

    I've read that Flourish Excel should kill BBA, but that's still not the case for me. I still have it growing my tank. The Excel has also taken a toll on my Java Ferns. What should I do?

    Tell me about apistogramma

    Came across some apistogramma at my lfs. I was wanting to know some basic information about these dwarf cichlids. Are they peaceful? Should they be in pairs? Do they need caves? Are they good community fish like Rams? Please include more information if you can!

    New Fish Options.

    Well it looks like Rummynose Tetras will fail in my tank. I'm thinking of something to replace them as my remaining 5 don't look well. Maybe I just got a bad bunch of fish. Here are some possible options that I was thinking about: Black Phantom Tetras, Diamond Tetras, Platinum Hatchetfish...

    Rummynose Tetras are not active.

    I've noticed that my Rummynose Tetras are hiding a lot and not eating. They are hiding behind all of the rocks and plants that I have, and they rarely come out and school in the front of the tank. I have read that these fish are really sensitive and that they can die easily. I've had them for...

    I got 7 Rummynose Tetras and one has a mouth injury. I took him/her out of the tank and I set up a "substitute"'quarantine tank using a container, an air pump, some aquarium salt, and some fish water from the tank. I added stress coat too. I would put him/her in a quarantine tank, but I don't...

    Foreground Plants

    Would Micro Swords be a good foreground plant for a tank that is 16 inches in height. I have some Pogostemon Helferi too. I've also heard that Java Moss could be a foreground plant.

    Plants to protect my future inverts. while their molting?

    I'm almost done finishing my stock. I'm planning on adding around 3 Amano Shrimp and an Orange Dwarf Crayfish to my 30 gallon. My only worry is that my Rams will pick on them when they molt. I've heard Java Moss is a good plant for Shrimp and other small invertebrates to hide in. Opinions? My...

    BEST algae eaters for the planted tank.

    I really like my Panda Garra, but their not eating much algae off of my glass. I'm planning on adding Amano Shrimp, but I know that they couldn't eat much algae off of the glass. I was thinking maybe some Otos since I have a 30 gallon. Or maybe a Bristlenose Pleco.
