Well Hardwoods are the best for aquariums as they dont leech out toxins. Softwoods(pine is one of them) cannot be used. Bush sticks must be researched thorughly before placing into your tank. Manzanita, malaysian, african root, bog are some that are commonly sold(and manzanita can be found as...

Sometime this week I will be getting the new gravel for the tank and be doing kind of a switch with tanks as this one takes less space. But its still a livebearer haven :).

Rasbora espei=Slim Harlequin Rasbora :). I may just scratch the idea for now and do a regular 10g community tank.

Well thankfully I talked to my cousin who haves more than enough room for one more. He has a 300g tank with 3 of them so far and he thinks they are great. He came and got it yesterday and so I was happy. Now Im in more of a bind cause the only place around here I found that sells Slim...

Rummy nose Tetras need more room than Zebra Danio's IMO. Try this 6-9 Zebra Danio's, The Oto's, Mystery Snial, 3 Cory's and a Dwarf Gourami. Add more plants like Anubias, moss, cryptocorynes, swords or aponogetons. The fish will feel more secure :)

Can you take it out and take a pic of its root system? The leaf structure is similar to Aponogeton's as well. Edit: I see that it does not really grow so it is definitely a sword :).

Ferns[Java Fern(All Varieties), Bolbitis], Mosses(Including Fissidens), Pellia(and all its varients and subwassertang), Anubias.

In post number two is that a Long Finned PlumeTail Platy? I love those fish. If I would have a tank of just them I would.

Right now he has alot of food haha. And he a plump one at that. But I know how fast these things switch attitudes and I am not wanting to see my almost all Black Betta or my very gold Marigold Varitus female be killed. I talked a manager at petsmart and employees at my old job. The manager at...

There is not. Because Bulbs are constant until they start loseing intensity and usually that change is subtle. Sunlight varies. So a formula could not be helpful as it would not work for many.

Yeah I woke up to go to school and almost tripped on the box itself. She was suffering from malnutrition. And she did not like anyone but me. I would hold her in my lap and someone would walk by and she would hiss at them and then she would get on my shoulder and make clicking noises. I had to...

I rescued my LeeAnn(Cockatiel) in the middle of winter 2006. I found her in a wet box with little food. She had no feathers and had a little crack in the beak. By last christmas she was fully back to normal. And she had bird communications as her cage is next to our parakeets.

Wow I like your tank. I need to get some Crypt Crispulata for my tank soon.

Wow, those are one of the most interesting birds to me. I have always wanted one. Eventualy I wil get one when money permits.

I am quite jealous of your collection. They are beautiful shrimp
