@sliderfish I don't think they graze on it. I will admit that I do like the look of the decor with the algae but it's that same algae that covers the glass and I can't look at it anymore /: so I'm looking for a way to get rid of it, I'd rather not have to add Chems to the tank. @garfy and...

Hello all, I have a 55g cichlid tank, I just wanted to know how I can go about adding new cichlids to the already established tank, the biggest cichlid in there is a 3" electric blue. I was also wandering how people go about algae in cichlid tanks, I heard you can put plecos in is this true? If...

There actually not hardy pets in my opinion, they're very sensitive to light and water temperatures, they're very prone to fungus and when you keep more than one they can be cannibalistic when they're young. Also fridgeing an axolotl slows it's metabolism so depending on scenario this can be...

Hey, got a question, so I have a 20g long with a baby spiky soft shell turtle, she's not a year old yet. Anyways my question is, would it be ok to make her 20g long a planted tank with shrimp in them? I would also be putting a butterfly loach in with her, is this all ok? FYI I need to do this...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and some what an experienced aquarium guy. Grew up with my grandfather and dad both being I'm to the hobby and ever since I can remember we have always had an aquarium in the house. At the moment I have 4 tanks, a 55g with 2 axolotls, 55g with African Chiclids, a 20g...
