It looks a lot like something called pearl weed, which is I think closely related to monte carlo. The scientific name for monte carlo is micracrathemum tweediei, but if you look up micranthemum micranthemoides or pearl weed, your plant comes up. Very pretty plant, but if you're looking for a...

Do you have a picture? I've been growing monte carlo for a while and might be able to help.

I just got some water lettuce... super pretty and surprisingly soft to the touch. Only had it for a couple of days so I don’t know how great it actually is yet but very happy with it as of now. Got them from Dustins fishtanks and they arrived in great shape.

Question.... can a fish lose it’s pregnancy? I have a very beautiful Lyretail Swordtail who seemed to be holding fry for a couple of weeks. I bought her a breeding box and was fully prepared to take care of her babies when the tank got Ich. It was pretty chaotic for a week or so in the tank as...

Do you have an air stone? Could be an oxygen issue...

Thanks everyone! Just downloaded.

That would make sense... how can I help? Should I move her into a different tank for a bit? I only have a 5 gal that is housing my corydoras (because they are also sensitive to the treatment), but is there any way to increase the oxygen while still treating the tank fully?

My mistake! I won't do that again, thanks for letting me know. I've been checking the smaller molly for signs of Ick but she is acting fine and has no spots. I will still keep an eye out. I do vacuum the gravel during water changes, but I will try to do so more often because I know Ick goes...

Hi everone! I have a Lyretail Swordtail fish in my 30 gal tank who is acting quite strange. She has always been somewhat shy, however recently she barely comes out of her cave, even to eat, and swims erratically when she does come out. Some relevant info: The tank has ich right now, and I've...

Hi! I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself. I am a teenage fish nerd who has always found forums like this super helpful, so I joined this one! Thanks in advance for all the help I'll get from everyone here, and I'm excited to be a part of this!

Hi everyone! I'm new on here and have a very strange question regarding two of my molly fish. I got a new female molly at a store yesterday, introduced her to my tank with no problem, and was very happy with the addition. However, after waking up this morning, I noticed that the new (younger and...
