Hi everyone, My tank is a 20 gallon high, and it's contained fish for about 6 weeks, not counting the time period of the nitrogen cycle. There are 3 platys, a betta, and 3 small plants. Lately, my male platy has been slowing down. He doesn't respond to much, and hardly ever moves. He even...

I'll get to it ASAP and post a pic when it's done

This is the best I could do, I had to shift some stuff around to get a clearer shot. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

What is melt? Is it an acronym or a term?

I have the roots buried in my gravell, but the rhizome is exposed per instructions from a thread I made asking for anubias care. The stems themselves are a darker green. I only have 3 platys in the tank, been running about 3 weeks not counting the cycling. I'm completely new to plants in...

How could I tell? Were there any signs that would've identified it?

Could it not be getting enough nutrients? It's my very first live plant in a tank that has had fish in it for about 3 weeks.

Hey all! I came across a lot of interesting rocks I think would go great in my aquarium and I'd like to know the procedure to add them to my tank. Obviously I can't plop them in after spraying them down with water. Should I use a specific soap?

So it is best to not leave it in the light too much? Doesn't sound like a problem, I'll shade it with some amazon swords. Thanks everyone for your quick help!

Tomorrow I was planning to go grab some new plants for my 20 gallon aquarium, and I like the look of anubiases? anubi? Anyway, I was wondering about how to take care of them. I read a lot of conflicting stuff online, so I'd like some clarification as to how I take care of them. Are they...

So it's not a disease of some kind?

Here's a messy picture, but all I could get of her. She's the one on the left.

Hey all, I've been observing one of my female platys and lately I've noticed she has a dark spot visible, but only on one side of her. It's literally just a spot, not really the dark splotch that the pictures of gravid spots on google are... I was wondering if this is in fact her gravid spot...

Okay, thank you all so much! I'm very grateful
