I would be willing to trade some Sagittaria subulata for some Echinodorus tenellus var.tenellus (the PYGMY variety!). I would also like to trade an Eheim prefilter, some Sagittaria subulata, a small Echinodorus ozelot, or some Hygrophila polysperma for some HC (it's worth a try :wink: ).

I have about 40 TRUE Endlers Livebearers for sale. About 50% male, 50% female. Those Endlers have never seen a guppy before, which means that they are still pure. They have very vivid and clearly contured colors. No washed out colors as you can find in guppy hybrids! 95% have top yellow swords...

I need a better pH test kit than that from Tetra. The one from tetra only measures in 0.5 steps (6.0, 6.5, 7.0, ...). That way I won't be able to correctly calculate how much CO2 I have in my tank for all my plants! It annoyes me every time I test my water. Is there a better test kit with...

Hey guys, I am having a hard time to decide between two carpet plants. I want a low and dense carpet, that I can not achieve with Sagittaria subulata. I was looking for either Hemianthus callitrichoides or glosso. I have 1.85W CF on a 70gal high tank with pressurised CO2 and power reactor...

Hey guys, currently I am fighting some hair algae, so I stopped by here to see if I could find any tips as to what it is caused by or so. Reading different posts I always get a different picture. Some say it is caused by too little water changes, some say by to high iron, and again others say...

Have three self-propagated, healthy, 4- 4 1/2" Echinodorus ozelot plants to give away in the Nashville, TN area.

My Kribs are spawning again and I need to make space for the next load of fry :lol: . Anyone interested in yound 1 1/4-1 1/2 inch, very healthy Kribs, please PM me. The parents can be viewed in my gallery.

I live in Tennessee, want to set up a pond this spring, and was wondering about two things: 1) Is a water depth of 24" enough for my fishes to survive in the winter? 2) Do I need a fence around the pond. I'm just so scared some stupid kid might fall into the pond, drown and its parents will...

My Kribs are breeding again. Mom and daddy prepared the cave again and are staying there all the time. I will probably see some fry within the next few days. The older fry are about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches long by now and I guess I will soon have to get rid of them. So if there is anyone...

Kribs getting ready to beed again. The female is always swimming around the coconut cave and shaking in front of the guy. I still have 10 fry from the last batch in the tank :roll: :lol: .

I've read a lot about how wonderful water changes with a python can be and got some cash for christmas now. My question is if you'll have to have the faucet water running all the time while siphoning? That would quite be a waste of good water, if I want to change say 30-40gal in my tank!!!

My echinodorus ozelot started developing flowers on the water surface a little while ago, they finally started blooming now:

My Krib pair had fry a little while ago. They both didn't show much agression toward the tankmates and the fry starts wandering off by now. Nevertheless, my male is hunting the female now and she is quite pale. Is that normal that they show agression toward each other after raising their fry?

I have a problem for a couple weeks now with staghorn algae. and a smaller problem with beard algae on my gravel. The beard algae first appeared after I made some plant free space in the front of my tank. The staghorn algae sits on the filter outtake, the breeder net and various plants. I did a...

I've recognised I couldn't find my male German Blue Ram. I thought maybe he just died since they are supposed to be so weak. However, he got stuck in the L piece of the powerhead, which I use for my CO2 power-reactor - looked pretty nasty :bawl: . I'm not sure if he got sucked in, but sure he...

Well, he's fine with the community IN his tank, but guess what he did! I've been attacked by him :lol: ! Everytime I stick my arm in there to aquascape my tank, trim my plants he tries to pull the little hairs on my arm out. Even if I just stick my finger in there he bites into my finger! And...

I have recognized white dots on my female dwarf gourami first, some fishes are itching themselves on plants etc. So I'm pretty sure it's ich and already started to raise the temperature. My tank is planted, so I don't want to use the salt method, just heat (as I have heard is supposed to work...

My Kribs spawned yesterday. The female is now always sitting in the coconut house and the guy is just swimming somewhere around. How long till they are hatched and I can see them swimming around with their parents?

My pure strain Endlers Livebearers (ELBs) had their first fry last night. I've collected 11 so far and had to put 2 back into the tank as food, they didn't swim much at all :cry: . I guess I will have many fry over the time, but the first batch is always the most interesting one. Those little...

Do the Kribensis females have a shorter ovipositor than the German Blue Ram ones? My Kribensis pair digging in the coconuthouse I gave them for about a week. They are shaking in front of each other all the time, but the female still didn't "dissapear" and they still don't take super care to...

My aquarium stays at about 78F although I have it set already on 82F. Ok, I got a 70 gal with a 250W heater. After that 5wpg rule for heater I need about 100W more. So how do you guys do that? I havent seen a 350W heater so far. Can I just add another 100W heater and it'll be fine? Sorry...

I have the 70gal down in my signature. I want to add a school of 10-15 fishes (depending on which fish/size). Which of the following would you prefer and why? Espe's Rasbora (Rasbora Espei), Silver-Tipped Tetra (Hasemania nana), Green Neon Tetra (Hyphessobrycon simulans), Blue Tetra (Boehlkea...

I've decided not to add Cardinal or Neon Tetras to my tank, since it seems nearly impossible to get healthy ones or keep them alive as I have read many many times in this forum before. What about Rummy Nose Tetras? I've read online that they can be quite sensitive too as wild caught ones...
