I decided to go with the 8 inch bonsai driftwood, im thinking of having it on top of a slope so it can maximize the vertical space of the aquarium. Im not entirely sure with the stocking yet. Im thinking of community style with school of small fish (tetras?), group of dwarf corydoras, group of...

Update* I just got a 29 gallon tank. Its the same dimensions as the 20 long, but taller. 1 dollar per gallon sale at petco now :D Now I can choose a bigger bonsai tree... time to look for 1.

Yes thats exactly what Im going for, and ill be using I believe its called willow moss (i have a lot of them in my other tank). You are right, 8 inches high might be a bit tight for a 12 inch tall tank. I wish i was able to see it on hand and in the tank before I purchase 1 :/ because I do like...

Hey guys, been a long time since I am attempting a new aquarium. This time I want to use a bonsai driftwood as my centerpiece of the aquascape. It will be in a 20 gallon long. Ill be using ada aquasoil amazonia powder type, some seiryu stones, and going to get the new finnex planted+ 24/7. Going...

to each their own i guess. my rationale with it was because they are shallow tanks. the footprint of these tanks give it more swim space horizontally than vertically. This is possibly one of the few ways to keep many bettas in the smallest space possible as the OP wanted to ask about. I...

yes its good for low light plants. +1 of fugeray planted plus (if u want mid light)

you could try a 10-20 gallon tank with female bettas sorority. i think you need about 5? or you can keep 2 male bettas in the deep blue professional 5 way betta tank: Petland Discounts, Inc. Don't put 5 of them in there, not enough space! pop off the top and put a divider in the middle (not sure...

whats the size of the aquarium? im reading reviews from amazon that on a standard 20 gallon, its good for low light plants.

yeah, that should be fine. typically you want to match the size of the fixture with the length of the tank. you can even go a bit smaller too.

i always find vertical position for cfl bulbs to be more efficient in producing light with a reflector. In my 20 gallon planted long, i built my own canopy that consists of 2 9 watt cfl on the sides, 1 t5ho 24 inch in the center and a set of LED lights. IF i was going to make the canopy with...

nice! whats the foreground plant? would love to see when it all grows in.

i just bought one for my tank (still small).... OH BOY what have i gotten into? lol

If its a cyst... recommendation to do?

i just got a batch of pygmy cories today and i just noticed one of them has this yellowish white ball in the corner of its mouth. im worried what this is? do i need to remove him to quarentine? what is this? first ive ever seen this.

I was looking to have a bottom center fish for my community tank and my research lead me to Rams! I believe she/he is still young because she/he is still small in size (similar to my platy's sizes). And her/his condition in the petstore made me want to buy her/him. She/he was the only one left...

Meet the fish! 1 dwarf gourami (sorry for bad quality images... need to use better camera) Theres also an oto hanging out on an algae plant rock thing. 10 neon tetras 4 platys. the orange mm platy and panda platys have always been best buddies, they always follow each other around, even though...

Ive tried 2.5 gallon, then 5.5 gallon. both didn't work out. My rcs never lived for long... So, now i am putting together everything i had from them and trying it in my 10gallon! With new stuff of course. Behold! (it doesnt look this purple in person, i blame my phone camera) theres alot going...

i think i know what your talking about. too shiney makes too much reflections, so it ends up looking unnatural, right?

thanks for the help and praise guys! luckily i found a background that had black in 1 side and dark blue in the other. nice tank paul! thanks for the reference. ill be trying both sides out. thanks for the tip hawkins, will vegetable oil or corn oil work?

Yes, thats exactly the kind of white some aquascapes Ive seen online use. I have no choice but to try them all out! XD im such a libra.
