hmm the tuperware might be a possibility. only problem then would be cleaning out the water as frogs need very clean water as well. just make sure the tupperware isnt too deep so the little guy can still crawl out of it and wont get stuck. Wouldnt hurt to try and get a filter running too but if...

What kind of tank do you have for the little guy? Too deep of water and they can drown. Frogs definately need some dry land to chill on at times, or a big log/rock that they can perch on. If you had a terrarium that was half land, half medium water it would work great. Do not drain all of his...

Rams tend to be a shy fish. Try getting more smaller danio/neon tetra type fish to act as 'dither' fish--seeing these swim around will give the rams more confidence that it is safe to swim around freely. Also how much cover is in your tank? Rams prefer a lot of dense vegetation as well as...

I have a 55 and I must say having either a 75 or a 90 would be much easier for aquascaping-its hard to fit all my plants and hardscape in the tank and make it work. Also it opens up more options for fish, and more fish as well. Always go as big as you can. Regardless your going to want a...

excellent plants and congrats on the breeding! keep us updated!

I started with 4 german blues back in august. They did fairly well at first and the older pair of the group tried to spawn within a week. Either the spawning went bad, they ate the eggs, or my catfish had a late-night snack, but I couldnt find any eggs the next morning. All the fish did well...

Nice job with the plastic plants. Very well done and fairly realistic looking. Also props on the photography as those are some excellent shots!

Holy cow! 10ft long! I can only dream of the possibilities for a tank like that!! Def need some pictures

I going to venture that the test from the jugs is wrong. Ive taken normal tap water, placed it in 2 liter bottles, sealed it off, and then tested it only to see a drop in the pH. However if you open it back up and test it after sitting in open air for a day or so, the pH is a much closer match...

because most fish stores or websites list incorrect tank needs. It makes good business sense--If you tell everyone that silver dollars need a 75 gallon tank, very few people will buy them because very few people have space (like you) for a 75 gallon aquarium. So you tell them they only need a 30...

Im shocked you had enough output of co2 to kill fish with DIY. Usually doenst happen

I would wait. Shrimp are delicate and die easy sometimes, and altho red cherries are probably one of the easiest to keep, its still a risk. People sell them enough on here and in stores that you should have no problem getting some when your tank is ready

Well your red plants are going to be your ludwigia repens arcuata, Didiplis diandra, and ludwigia brevipes. I (currently) have about the same amount of light as you (which if I read correctly is about 1.75wpg), and my ludwigia repens is already showing red. However you have the cross with...

when you mix the sugar water, are you using hot or cold water? Usually I use luke-warm to get the sugar to dissolve better. However I allow it several minutes to cool after that. If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast. Also its possible you have a leak in your reactor. The first...

unfortunately i just got rid of a ton of my water sprite and water wisteria because they had been growing out of control. both plants grow pretty well under low to moderate light ime. if you want some i should have a decent amount in 3 weeks or so again
