Left for a week for vacation, came back to this stuff all over all of the plants. What is it and how do I get rid of it? :facepalm:

Anyone here raise & sell these awesome little fellas? They are really difficult to find here in my area for some reason, and when I do, they want like $4+ bucks a piece for them.. Wanting to see about buying a couple dozen of them to scatter around my 8 tanks. Let me know!

The RCS tank(30 long) I started up a couple months ago has since exploded!! I would guestimate there to be probably 100-150 shrimp running rampant in there, swimming all over. 75% of them are juvies that I never even realized were in there until recently, when I removed all the baby swordtails...

7 tanks running here and the water changes are starting to kill me!!! :blink: Running back and forth to the bathtub to fill up 1 gallon plastic pitcher.... 20+ times at a time. I've searched the web until my face turns blue looking for a 2+ gallon plastic pitcher, with handle. I don't...

When I got them, I thought they were basic Ghost Shrimp, but now not too sure. I've got about 30 of them in a 29gal Tall tank. The biggest one, nose to tail is roughly 2 inches long. They also have the really long front arms with pinchers. Here's the best part... They eat snails(Ramshorns...

Was cleaning out the Cascade 1000 on the Axolotl tank last night and found 15 little 1/2" marbled crayfish wedged down in the bottom under all the trays. Perfectly healthy and kicking! No clue how long they been in there. Has only been the one crayfish in that tank this whole time. Never noticed...

My mind is numb from Googling and reading and trying to make sure I understand correctly... I'm wanting to spread Staurogen along a good bit, if not the entire floor of my new shrimp tank. It just always looks SOOO awesome. Obviously, simply buying enough of it can get quite expensive. So...

First, a question... See the reddish plants there in the pic? What are those called? And is there anyone here on the boards that sells them? I'd like to pick up a few to add to this new tank and a couple other tanks to add some color. They seem to be growing really well in the Axolotl tank...

Casually flipping through the ads in the local Facebook garage sale pages for my area and an ad catches my eye. I really only saw the part about 70gallon tank $100, so obviously I looked closer. I had to play some serious truck-tetris to get it all packed up to being home, even in my big Dodge...

My local Petco and Petsmart are about all I have immediately available and the guppy selection is... well.... they don't always look so hot. Arched backs and blah colors, as well as usually some dead fish throughout the tanks. :nono: I've got my tanks stable and ready for some actual quality...

Is there a linky somewhere that shows the majority of all the freshwater plants(pics) and their names? I keep seeing plants for sale(Like MINIMAL's awesome present list) and sometimes they have pics, but normally they do not and I'm clueless what they are without Googling all of them. :(...

Have been through 3 Plecos now in the Axolotl tank. Just plain ole common Plecos from Petsmart. All 3 lasted a couple weeks and died. I can only assume it's the temperature, since everything else in there thrives. What kind of Pleco do I need to be looking at that can handle upper 60 degree...

So I'm over at the 55gal just looking and making sure everyone is accounted for. 5 blue convict cichlids, 3 ACFs, 3 cory cats a huge pleco and 3 marbled crayfish... About the time I notice little dug-out sections in both corners(typically about 3 inches of sand... now can see the glass bottom...

3 of my tanks are running the Penn-Plax Cascade 700 and 1000 series canister filter/pumps with the spray-bars that go almost the full length of the tanks. 29g, 40g and 55g. Question is.... All 3 have this.... funk.... building up on them. looks kinda like algae and I've considered wiping...

Brand new to the aquarium hobby as of 2-3 months ago. COMPLETELY addicted, as I already have 6 separate tanks running throughout the house now. :blink: I very recently put together... or rather... rebuilt my 20L tank as a planted tank. It literally is covered with about 8-10 different species...

I'm wanting to change from the smaller gravel in my 40g breeder to fine sand. We have it in the frog tank and I love the look. This tank has only been running for a few weeks and is perfectly cycled and running great. I've got good lighting, good filtration, separate BB filtration(x2), LARGE...

But he... she.... it... keeps getting fatter and fatter. But there's no gravid spot. Is it due to the fact this fella is orange and white and no "clear" area for the spot to show? And, last couple days, it's been pretty much laying on the bottom instead of running amuck around the 40g breeder...

(Posted over in the "What Made You Want A Freshwater Aquarium?" thread before I noticed this Into thread) :facepalm: Country boy that grew up on a huge cattle ranch near a huge freshwater lake. Spent my life catching catfish, bass, crappie, carp, gar, perch, shad, etc, etc, etc... Natural...
