Thanks everyone. This makes me feel better about having them in my tank.

Hello. It has been a while since I have posted and due to family illness haven't had tanks going but always kept a small planted tank for my beta. Since my Mom is pretty much homebound now I have setup a 29 gallon community tank for her. My question is ..... Has anyone had ramshorn snails attack...

Thanks! I have several annubias, crypts, & Java fern - so maybe those will help.

I am setting up a new freshwater 29 gallon. I have a 20 gallon with a well established Aqua clear 50 filter I replaced the sponge in it about a week ago and put the sponge in to new Aqua clear 30 that is on the 29 gallon. I'm down to very few fish in the 20 gallon. A guppy and a sparkle eye...

I had been thinking of some neons. I like the look of some lemon tetras or pristella tetras but I think I prefer something that stays smaller like the neons & last time I was at the aquarium they had what I guess were adult ones and they were quite a bit bigger than the neons. Another fish I...

Thanks! I feel much better about leaving it as is.

I love these little fish! Would have loved to have gotten a pair but read so many different things about possible aggression toward each other. He/she is certainly not aggressive with the guppy that is in with him. I am in the process of setting up a new tank for him and will add more fish. It's...

It's a 29 gallon - 30" x 12" x 18" high, And I am going to run 2 Aqua clear filters size 30 & size 50. I do have several small holes (1/8" diameter) drilled into the top of the cave. Would that circulate enough?

Thanks for the info Josh. I ended up getting a Bolivian Ram from Aquatic Marine on Clinton Hwy. thanks for the info about the GBR's. I too love The Aquarium, but understand what you are saying. Their GBR's are quite pricey. So far the bolivian has been healthy and I am very happy with his...

Hello, I am setting up a new 29 gallon tank and am using a 4" pvc elbow for a cave & have it situated in a corner with gravel filled in behind it such that it creates a raised area where I have planted a crypt. I backfilled gravel into the cave making it look half moon, and have an annubias...

Thanks for all your replies - I'm really enjoying the little BR, and am very tempted to get another as this one is very personable and as said 'fun to watch'.

I am wanting to build a tank around a bolivian ram as the centerpiece. I currently have a 29 gallon planted tank with 1 male guppy 2 sparkle eye something or other that I think is kin to a white cloud 3 corydora hasbrostatusdwarf 5 Otto cats 4 nerite snails I plan to upgrade this tank to a...

Hello, I'm new to the forum but have had tanks for a while now. However, you should treat me as a beginner as I seem to keep making beginner blunders. I read lots of info, think I have a solution and then find I've made another mistake. My most recent has been an ongoing issue with hard...

Hello, I live in NE Knox County just outside Knoxville. I seem to make every beginner mistake you can make so I am prob of no help to you. But, I do have questions for you if you don't mind. Mainly, I am wanting to get a pair of GBR's and was excited to see The Aquarium on Papermill has some...
