    Plant ID and viability?

    Algae troubles

    So Ive had a 2.5 gal for about 3 months now and i havent put anything there as after it was done cycling (I waited about 1 and half months) I noticed algae and bought some algae remover that weekend. The algae definitely has been dying, about 95% is all white but its just staying there. Ive had...

    Cloudy water in cycled tank

    I mean Im not sure really whats going on either, thats just my assumption that the tanks filter wont let it cycle? For months its all been at zero and I've also got the water checked at petco and petsmart, they say the same thing

    Cloudy water in cycled tank

    So root tabs would feed the algae to a similar extent then?

    Cloudy water in cycled tank

    Everything stays at 0 cuz fluval has a hella good filter for this stuff, even if it was a bacterial bloom they dont last like 3 months

    Cloudy water in cycled tank

    Yeesh is there anything else I can do, my parents hate it when I gotta use my siphon. Do they sell anything for this kind of stuff or would I just have to cut back on dosing stuff, would root tabs be a better supplement to clear things up?

    Cloudy water in cycled tank

    I've had a fluval 5 gal for a couple of months now and it keeps the nitrate a d nitrite levels at a constant 0 so Im pretty sure there isnt a bacterial bloom of that kind. I dont have any pics on hand at the moment but the water is just really really cloudy. Ive only kept 2 snails in it since...

    Plants for 5 gallon w/11 watt light?

    Ive had this tank planted for a while and nothing seems to really be doing that well except a few plants in there. Im pretty sure Ive made some bad choices for a few of the plants in there so if anyone could tell me what they think would work well in there please let me know. I dose flourish...

    Badis badis and betta compatability?

    Im not so sure, I dont know how well theyd do with cories but the tetras and beta should be okay since bettas tend to stay at the top of the aquarium and and shrimp normally try to search for food on the bottom. Id look into their compatability with the guedeons, they might be trouble.

    Guppy needs schooling group?

    Guppies tend to school a lot, he can be okay alone but they do much better in groups. Ive kept one with endlers (turned out they school together out of desparity) and they did alright so he might school with similar fish. I only did this as i was restricted on space with a 2.6 gallon tank but if...
