Be sure to keep up with water changes. IME, it shows up when I get behind on PWCs. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I live in a small town, and my LFS isn't bad considering. Selection is limited, though, so I occasionally go to a very big aquarium store in Columbus. They are pricey, but a very cool store to walk around in and their selection is awesome. But their employees are lacking. When I went there for a...

Here are a couple pix. She is about 3 inches long. I don't remember exactly when I got them. Several months ago. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Keep offering it. He will find it and then he will be a happy camper. Mine likes zucchini better than cucumber. I feed veggies 2-3 times a week, along with frozen food. I have a heavily planted tank and my BN's don't bother my plants except to clean them. I slice up a veggie then freeze the...

I have found water sprite to be nitrate hogs. If my nitrate levels get too low, they don't do well. Just something to factor in to your experimenting. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My hornwort did better before I started dosing Excel, but it hasn't died. It just isn't flourishing as much as it used to. I chose my other plants (which ARE flourishing) over the hornwort. I have actually been experimenting with allowing a few of my water sprite "offshoots" to grow as...

Just throwing this out there...a few of my fish will start flashing at the smallest ammonia spike, so don't discount that as a possible cause if there is even a small amount of ammonia present. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
