I have no first hand experience with them. Saw a posting on plantedtank about a aquascaping demo and went. The owner, Steve, was on hand and he was great to talk to about fish and plants. He also hinted at some new things that he is trying to bring into his store pertaining to aquatic plants...
If you are looking for GBR maybe contact Mark from Palatine. He breeds them locally. As for Aquarium Adventure, I have had very bad luck with buying fish from them.
Another place to check is with Steve at Fish Planet in Deerfield. He hosted a nice aquascaping demo last weekend in his store...
When I purchased my German Blue Ram a month and a half ago, I was also given a free fry that we assumed to be a GBR too. As he has grown in this time, it doesn't appear to be the case. Could anybody help me ID what this fish is?
He is approx 1.75 to 2 inches long and the blue color he is...
As far as I can tell, there is no permanent mark where the white spot was. I actually had to look at my pics to see which ram was effected. Now to the cause of it, I have no clue.
For you question on dosing metro. I used API general care and dosed the water. Since she was not in QT, I felt...
The spot disappeared a day after my post. Was really worried it might be HITH or hexamita so I dosed with metronidazole as a precaution. She is looking fine now. So I'm not sure what the issue is or was. Going to keep water temp up for another week just incase ICH is present with them being...

Not sure I understand your Ammonia comment. It has consistently tested at .25 ppm via API card. It is not yellow but a slightest green tint.

I would say it is about the size of a grain of salt maybe a tad bigger. I have had the pair of EBR for two weeks. Everything has been fine until last night when I noticed it. Breathing wise is hard to tell. With the raised tank temp, they are all breathing a little harder even with the...
I noticed last night that my electric blue ram has what appears to be a white pimple on his head. Is it ICH? It is the only spot on her and none of my other fish show any signs. As a precaution, I upped the water temp to 86 degrees. Any help would be appreciated in diagnosing it.
I too built a griggs style reactor. I just used schedule 40 pvc not clear. It was more of a test to see if it would work and I was sick and tired of my tank looking like 7up. I was using my powerhead as my diffuser. Now there are no co2 bubbles at all. I had similar results to dcutl002 and...
Even if you did go with the elive light, it would cost more money to get it setup and going that just going with the finnex planted +. The elive is 70$ but you would need to add in the red led light pods to it which are roughly 8$ each for a planted tank. Stick with something that is proven to...
I am currently using a mix of RO/DI mixed with tap water. I have very hard water. I did some test using several combinations until I arrived at one that fit. It seemed that 5 gal RO to 1 gal of tap worked for me. But I also check my water KH after water changes since I am injecting CO2 and...
