Hi everyone, I bought a large sword plant yesterday with mostly large green leaves and a few of them were different in colour, with a purpleish colour and dark veins. I think these are newer leaves, as there are tiny leaves similar in colour starting to grow from the main stem. Today I wake up...

I picked up a piece of root wood (don't know what kind, looks similar to type in the following picture): and boiled it in a stainless steel pot for about 3 hours and when I drained the pot of the tannin filled water, I noticed small little brownish bumps stuck on the bottom of the pot. It's...

Hi everyone, Freshwater Tank, newly cycled. These started appearing more and more, mostly near the bottom half of the tank where water flow is the strongest. I used a sinking bottom feeder disc a couple days ago that disintegrated overnight and spread fluffy food bits everywhere, which in turn...

Hi everyone, I'm doing a fish-in cycling in a 26g bowfront, Fluval C3 filter, two pieces of driftwood, sand substrate, small pebbles, 3 larger rocks, and plastic plants. Fish in the tank are 4 x Harlequin Rasboras, 2 x Black Neon Tetras, and 6 x Neon Tetras. They are all schooling and feeding...

Hi everyone, I picked up a National Geographic 2.5g Betta tank that came with a very simple filter: a sponge over the intake, and within the filter, only a double carbon pad and nothing else. I was wondering if I could even cultivate beneficial bacteria with this tank because besides the...
