    When to put in the breeder?

    I have some swordtails that are getting close to giving birth. Last time, I didn't have a chance to move them and they had the babies. I don't wanna miss it this time, and I have a 10 gallon tank for them to have the babies in. I don't want to stress them out and have them die/prematurely have...

    Planted, no filter fry tank

    I have a 10 gallon tank with a HOB filter for future fry. However, I dislike the noise of it. I was thinking of filling the whole tank with hornwort, elodea, and other fast growers and getting rid of the filter. If this isn't a possibility, I'll definitely continue to use the filter, but if this...

    Thoughts on 24/7 mode?

    I finally got around to buying new lights. I purchased the Finnex Planted+ 24/7. Now the thing I'm really wondering is if the 24/7 mode can be useful at all. I know the PAR peaks for only around 3 hours, but I also enjoy some of the colors it gives. Would I be better off just keeping it on max...

    Common Question - Is My Swordtail Pregnant?

    I know this gets asked a lot, but I'm just really anxious to get into breeding lol. It looks like it's close, but not quite there. I'm just not sure, though; it seems to look different everytime. Thank you.

    Clear RCS

    What should I do with the culled? I know it sounds bad, but should I put them in my main tank? They'll be eaten there. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Clear RCS

    In my RCS tank, the majority of the newest generation are clear. Some are red, and some even brownish. Substrate is black, I do water changes. What should I do? Nobody will buy these clear shrimp, and I'm not such a fan of them either. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    unhealthy fish

    Nitrite levels? When you say ammonia is ok, does that mean 0? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Plant Growth and Environment

    I have made an interesting observation regarding the growth of Ludwigia in an outdoor setup. The growth outside in medium shade is drastically different than the growth in my tanks indoors. This occurred after the plants died off outside; I didn't think they'd ever come back. The Bacopa also has...

    It looks more orange than red. It's a standard 55 gallon so 21 inches high. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Color Temp

    I have tube lighting over my 55 gallon. Plant growth has been decent, but one of my bulbs broke in an accident a few months ago. Ever since, I have been using a 4100k cool white bulb and the other three are 6500k. Apart from the look that I'm not sure I'm so keen on, would I achieve greater...

    Overstocking? 60g

    Wouldn't add another angel, but maybe a schooling fish that could avoid the Angels' harassment. I'm not sure how that'd work out with the crayfish, though. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Go with shrimp and just use a small sponge filter. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    I have a 30 g aquarium and am not sure what to get

    Keeping just one gourami is probably best. Also, plants should do ok in gravel, especially with the use of root tabs. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Black Tetras

    Would using a divider be a workaround for this? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
