I'm interested! Do you ship? I live in Chapel Hill, NC. If so, could I get like 30 of them? PM me if that works.

New arrangement after some replanting. Neons are doing well - many of them seem to have nipped fins but the tigers are bothering them less and less. I hope this new aquascape will prove more conducive for the fish playing nicely...

Got 6 neon tetras and a windelov java fern today! I split up the fern and attached/wedged it in different driftwood pieces. The lady at the store threw in some tiny snails for me for free too, so I'll see how long it takes for them to start reproducing like mad. My tiger barbs are kindof...

I have 5 right now. I'm debating getting more of another kind of fish like neon tetras or gouramis or just keeping the barbs and getting at max 3 more, considering they grow to 3".

Yeah, I was definitely considering those last time I went to the store. I'll get some vals and maybe a couple more tigers the next time I visit my LFS. I have 2 14-watt T5 bulbs (one 6700K and the other 10000K) and one 15-watt T8 bulb (not sure of the color temperature, but it's made by GE and...

Yep. Well all of my plants are doing well! The stem plants have been taking a while to take root, but after this weekend (I was away for a beach trip) they all have started to root a little. My fish are all doing well, except one tiger barb seems to have slightly pale or discolored scales...

Not that I know of. It's actually a stem plant. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/details.php?id=93

A couple updates: I bought a piece of Malaysian driftwood from my LFS today and boiled it for a couple hours. My other piece of driftwood that was not sinking earlier is now much more waterlogged and will stay on the the aquarium floor. I set up my DIY CO2 bottle and made a recipe last...

Is it heavily decorated or planted? If not, it shouldn't be much of a problem since those fish are pretty small. Cardex is right, mollies will reproduce pretty easily so you will want to watch out for pregnant mothers! I've heard that for freshwater tanks, a good rule of thumb is that you...

Any particular reason for nerites over mystery snails? I've read mystery snails are hardier, more accessible, and will eat scraps, but nerites prefer hard water and are more picky eaters.

Thanks, I will try to do it for a couple hours later this week! Right, I had snails in my last tank and I was waiting for this shipment of plants to see if I would get any snails, but no luck. I haven't had cories before - would they be sufficient for algae maintenance on their own?

Sounds good! Keep us updated with how that works out!

Hey AA! So after over 2 years, I have returned to start up my tank again - I had to take down my tank at the end of high school because I couldn't have a tank in my dorm, but now I am living off campus so I decided to pick up the hobby again! This round, I decided to try using higher light - I...

Maybe zebra danios? I kept a betta in my tank for a sibling for a couple weeks with some zebra danios and I think some cherry barbs and neon tetras? Anyways, the betta was fine and the smaller fish didn't pester or nip at him.

Where'd you get that? Awesome find - looks good.
