Looking for someone who doesn't want their "pest" snails. I'm looking to get some to start a colony for food for my loaches

I have some bala sharks mollies and angels. If they are closer to full grown would it be ok to add a puffer?

Sure. Pm me and send a pick. Curious what kind of molly Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 220gal 6' long tank with a marineland 400 hob and a custom cannister running 1321gph. Building a 3d background with all my stuff hidden for a clean look but I'm worried about getting dead spots. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Ever dust your house? Even though it is clean after dusting you do inadvertently send some dust in the air. Same concept applies here if you do a lot of gravel vac Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
