I like the explanations. Buying nerites ASAP!

Interesting! What are the benefits of Nerites over, say, ramshorns or assasins?

Bert — I will look into the sky tubes, thanks! Goat — This information is extremely helpful to me. Thank you for your perspective! I will additionally look into the Finnex lighting system.

Thanks to both of you! I think I will stick to neons because I have kept them successfully in a tank (before they were rehomed due to bullying from my angels!) so hopefully I can follow your advice and pick out some nice, healthy ones. I will look into the mollies with neons. To be honest, I...

I restarted my tank and am currently in the process of cycling it. I have a 30"x12"x15" tank (23.4US gallons) and plan to make it a low-light planted aquarium with something like three 6500K CFL (26 watt GE energy smart daylight) bulbs hanging overtop. I have soil and a gravel cap. I have an...

Welcome! Don’t worry, you’re in a better place now [emoji56] Can you tell us a bit about your tank(s)?

+1 on the male to female ratio... one adult male and three adult females is good. I’ve never been a fan of breeder boxes/netted cubes. Often stresses the female out IME. I would recommend putting a bunch of (especially floating) moss and plants in the tank to provide good cover for newborn...

So cute!!!

That’s a very nice tank right there.

Aww, I love axolotls! Show us a photo sometime of your guy :)

Haven’t been on AA in so long! Hope everyone’s doing well. I emptied my 23G yesterday and purchased a new hood (Aqueon Deluxe LED?). Also got some new organic soil today and a couple of buckets too. Ready for some grand renovations!

Awesome, thanks! I have gravel to use as a cap (?) and I purchased some organic soil for under it. Should I still get root tabs?
