What is the proper way of planting anubias? I've read that A. nana like to have the rhizome above the substrate, but what about the other species/variants? A rhizome is technically an underground root, so wouldn't most benefit form being planted in the substrate? All discussion and personal...

I just got some anubias and want to attach a coffeefolia to a piece of driftwood. I've read around a little and saw to use fishingline or cottong thread to hold it to the wood. I went with cotton since it seems softer and natural and I have head it will dissolve on its own if I don't do anything...

3 Otocinclus 3 Cardinal Tetras 5 Lemon Tetras Ghost shrimp Some plants (anacharis, hornwort, water sprite) See a few little dots of ich, so I want to get it taken care of before I restock my tank (didn't find a dead fish for a few days and a lot of other fishes paid the price). I'm going to...

anyone interested in going in on a plant order in the N/NW burbs on Chicago next week? Just checking for interest. I'm not 100% yet.

I've been reading that hornwort will release some compounds that limit algae growth. Anyone know any more details? I've got 3 otos in my 12 gallon and one stem of hornwort and wanted to add more, but the otos need the algae to eat, so I don't want to stop it all. Should I remove even the one...

Has anyone ever seen these in a store or on-line shop anywhere? Seems like a better version of an emperor tetra (and I like blue better than purple anyway ;) ). Smaller and not so mean. http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?genusname=Inpaichthys&speciesname=kerri

I just added some emperor tetras to my tank (1 male, 2 females) with 7 cardinals. THe cardinals would be all the tank before. The emperors like to hide in the back by the heater. But now, the cardinals have made friends with the smallest emperor (just slightly bigger than them) and now all...

has anyone else out there set up an experiment tank? I got a REALLY old 5 gallon from a friend at work. It leaked, but I sealed it up and thought I would turn it into a quarantine tank. Alas, decided it might be fun to try an equipmentless tank. All it has is gravel, real plants, 12 feeder...

My dwarf gourami had been doing fine (isn't that always the case). Anyway, a few weeks ago, I noticed a small lump in his bottom fin. Wasn't too concerned as he was doing well, but then he started to flash on some of the plants and was hiding a lot and the cardinal tetras were bullying him...

Anyone have of either of these who wouldn't mind giving up some cuttings (hopefully in the Chicago-land area....I could just pick it up then)? Would also be willing to pay the shipping or some small cost above that. Dwarf Hairgress = Eleocharis parvula For the moss, I was thinking of making...

So, now that bio-spira is back in stores, anyone have any luck with it? I bought a 1 oz bag and split it between two tanks. A 10G with 3.5-4 ppm ammonia and a 12g with 2.5ppm ammonia. After 2.5 days, the levels haven't really changed all that much (perhaps a slight bit down). I bought it...

So....when I was doing a little tank maintenance today, I noticed that there was hundreds of little black dots on the stems of some of my plastic plants. Anyone have an idea what they are? I also saw at least one little snail (like 3mm ish with shell). I believe he hitchhiked in on some water...

Has anyone out there done any modifications to this type of tank? I'm currently keeping soft, acidic water fishes and while they are OK in my tap, it's not really that soft or acidic (7.6 and medium hardness, like 120ppm). So, I was thinking of using some peat filtration, but the activated...
