This is a 30 gal hex, about 2.5 WPG, dosing just a little flourish complete & flourish potassium (didn't get around to it last week). Eco-Complete substrate. I didn't get around to trimming my anacharis for 2 weeks. I'm still trying to replant what I trim off to get a little more in there...

Well, my crayfish doesn't seem to mind:

I've got anacharis in a 30 gal. hex, and every week many of them just float up to the top. I don't think it's dead ones, but the ones that float up never have any roots on them. My fish rarely eat much of the plants. I don't really see anything picking at them, just some cories that play in...

Glass cats do seem to school better than most things when there's nothing threatening them. My glass cats just kinda seem to follow each other around all the time, but there's usually a couple of them just staying still in another part of the tank refusing to play.

Just because lots of people say that crayfish will eat anything you put in the tank doesn't necessarily make it true. If it is true, it can take a very long time. I had swords in the tank with the crayfish for several weeks, and the only one he ate seemed to have kind of fungus and wasn't...

Weird. I didn't know they could keep their door closed after they died.

My dad had a betta when he was in college (about 1963). One day it just disappeared. A few years ago he was going through old vinyl records and opened up a little latching case of 45's and there was a little betta skeleton wedged down in the back.

I've got a 10 gal. with nothing in it but a blue lobster (crayfish). He's not really very aggressive -- at least not when I feed him every day. I was thinking of something else to put in there, and I could put some feeder guppies in there, but I really like koi, and sarasa comets look a lot...

I generally only feed my fish once a day, but it seems like my gourami needs to eat more than my other fish. I don't want to overfeed my fish, though (tetras, rasboras, and a betta), and I also have MTS in the tank which are very close to getting out of hand. When I feed flakes, the gourami is...
