I have enough Java Moss to split up into 2 shipments. One I can guarantee is snail-free, the other is not. Let me know if you have a preference, or you can take both. We can trade if you have something to offer, or you just pay shipping. PM me.

I had my DIY CO2 system siphon water out of the tank overnight... twice. On my third attempt, the CO2 mix actually went into the tank and killed my fish. I gave up on the DIY. Also, there was a point where duckweed was just about the only plant I could keep alive, so I bought a bunch of it. It...

They do look an awful lot like danios, once it's pointed out. Very cool.

It was very nice of them to get you a tank. And a 46 at that! Good luck, hopefully it works out.

I've had enough of the tube plants! Update! Today I went and spoke with the aquatics dept manager. They've expanded the selection since I'd last seen it. They do in fact have java fern now, so my apologies to hulkamaniac. Also, they have emersed wisteria. There are a larger range of sizes...

I know Kaytee brand recently started adding the Animal Planet logo all over it. They've done it for small animal and bird foods. I feed it to my guinea pigs and it's the same stuff it's always been. I bet the AP fish food is a brand owned by Kaytee. So it's not actually manufactured by Animal...

Most plecos can hold their own with cichlids, as long as you don't go with a dwarf species or like a zebra or something. :)

Same difference. :)

The "normal" color of CAEs is not albino, actually. The dominant gene coloration is brown with dark brown squarish spots along the lateral line. Your fish's behavior issue has nothing to do with the coloration. As they get older and bigger (and they do get pretty big) they become more aggressive...
