I recently got some new plants. I know one of them is red ludwigia but if someone can clarify and possibly name them all? It's 4 different species. Thank you! 1st plant: 2nd plant: (possibly red ludwigia) 3rd plant: 4th plant:

If I buy a small bunch, how would it grow across my 20 gallon? Would I just trim the hairgrass when it gets long and replanting it? Or would I have to buy a whole bunch of hairgrass?

I started a planted tank and I'm wondering if 1 T8 Lighting bulb is good for a 20 gallon tank.

I accidently dosed my tank to 6 ppm. (Fishless cycling overdose) I left my java moss in there, will it be okay?

I'm cycling my tank and it would be nice to know if these plants benefit from the liquid dosing I'm going to do. I'm probably gonna dose about 4-5 ppm and I wanted to know if the plants will be okay.

I recently dirted my tank and right now I have some questions. I already capped it off with gravel. I don't like the way the gravel looks so I'm just gonna cap the gravel with black sand. I have a 20 gallon and i'm wondering if 5 pounds of black sand is enough to cover the tank. Or would I need...

Supposedly online these dwarf pufferfish are known for being "extremely intelligent". I just wanted to know if you guys had any experiences showing this. On the interwebs they say that it recognizes you as you walk toward it. However, my betta fish already does that as she knows I'm about to...

I've thinking of stocking my tank with these little buddies. Cardinal tetras Dwarf pufferfish Red cherry shrimp How much of each should i get. I know shrimps breed like crazy so I don't have to go too crazy in that area. But how about the other two? and I already know about the aggressiveness...

Should I cap it with sand or gravel? I heard that sand prevents fish poop from getting in the dirt or whatever. Let me know the pros/cons of each, thank you all.

Here is the piece I want. Here are some close ups: And here is where the branch is from: *EDIT* Close up of the leaves: Please let me know if this is safe for an aquarium! thank you!

I want to start a dirted aquarium and all the rave about Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix have got me stoked. However, no local stores have it nearby. I'm wondering if there are any alternatives to this dirt that is still cheap as well.

I am going to dirt my tank soon and I need to know what red clay works. There is no Mexican Pottery Clay around my area but I found "Fimo Classic Clay" and "Sculpey Colored Polymer Clay". Are polymer clays good and what are the general guidelines for safe clay to put in your tank? (i know it has...

Recently I upgraded my tank from 10g to 25g. I want this aquarium to be dirted and I have a couple of questions. I'm going to be using Miracle Gro Organic Soil and I've read experiences about anaerobic reactions or something like that. Should I worry about that? Other than that I plan to cap it...

I'm upgrading my 10 gallon to a 25. I'm planning to make this a planted tank with cardinal tetras + cherry shrimp. (but then again this isn't final) Any other fish you guys recommend? With my 10 gallon i was limited but with 25 it opens possibilities (maybe saltwater clownfish) or something...

I have 2 10 gallon tanks and I'm thinking of what to stock them with? Im considering maybe guppies or tetras (still deciding) And maybe some cherry / ghost shrimp. Any pros and cons of tetras/guppies/shrimp? Any other species/suggestions would help! I just love seeing colorful fish but the...

How long does it take for bacteria, once established, to convert the ammonia to nitrites? I dosed my tank to 3 ppm and I'm just wondering how long it should take for it to convert. (24 hours??)

There are these strange black streaks on my betta fish. Anybody know what it is, and how to cure?

I've had some wood from a tree that my dad cut a long time ago, and I was wondering if it was safe to put in my aquarium (after curing and such) It's been in the sun for probably around 1 year, so I'm pretty sure it's completely dried out. Is this branch/wood safe for my aquarium? I see that...

After hours of research, I've compiled a couple of questions I still have about brine shrimp and the hatching of them. Any help would be appreciated, and as always: :thanks: (NOTE: I have the San Francisco Bay Brine Shrimp eggs *supposedly their hatch rate is decent) 1) Do i need to freeze the...

Attached is a pic of my female betta fish. I apologize for the darn lighting but it came out surprisingly better than I had hoped. As you notice, there are black streaks near her gills. Can anyone identify those? Thanks in advance.

Hello AA, i have a question. I'm thinking of separating the female/male guppies in two diffrent tanks to prevent overpopulation I'm wondering every generation or so i would pick the best looking female and male and breed them together. What i'm wondering is can I just put one male in a breeder...

I have two tanks, one established, and one new. Both are 10 gallons. The established tank has one betta fish. If I take some gravel from my established tank and put it in my new one, will that help the cycling process? Also, if I just put the betta fish inside the new tank, with some gravel...
