I guess I haven't been able to word this correctly for google. What can you do with your plant clippings after maintenance, besides just throwing them away or putting them on a compost pile? Can you make herbivore wafers out of them? DIY aquarium fertilizer? Do they have any other practical use...

In the future I'll be building a 200 gal planted tank. I've been looking at fish and wanted to know if you guys have ever kept these together and what issues may arise. I've been researching temperature, pH, and hardness and so far some of the fish do not all fit together nicely. However many...

I am already aware that you should not put common/one tailed golds with fancy/two tailed golds as the commons are faster and more competitive for food. I would like to know, within the fancy breeds, which golds will live peacefully with little competition or bullying. I am most interested in...

In the future I'd like bubble tips and a pair of clowns. My concern for research now is what organisms will make a good clean up crew and WON'T get immediately eaten by the nems? Species of crabs, slugs, etc?:thanks:

I won't be setting up a tank for YEARS, but when I do, I'd love anemones and clowns. I know a tank needs to be very mature and also that anemones are not beginner inverts for saltwater. I just want to know if you could have two bubble tip anemones in a 40g, because I would like two different...

In a hypothetical 4'L 2'W 2'H tank (~120g), how many bristlenose pleco could I put in without territorial deputes? Are they're any other pleco I could substitute? This is assuming at least one large school of corys (~15) and other mid/upper level fish. Looking more at behavioral than stocking...

In the distant future I would like to build my own tank. With the current dimensions of 3' by 3' by 1.5', it would be about 100g. My research tells me that building a 1/2" thick glass tank with a plywood bottom would work out well, a little over $150, which is A LOT less than any new tank I've...

In the very distant future when I have a home, I will most likely succumb to getting discus. I realize they are hard to breed at all, and I would have to trigger spawning purposely. Still, in the event they do breed, I would like to be able to sell them (not really for any big profit) just to...

I'm thinking about a tank years into the future, but I currently can't find a place that would sell me the type and size that I want since I'm going for something a little weird. Costume tanks are crazy expensive so I'd thought I'd build instead. So! If I wanted to build a tank 3x3 ft with...

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the pond section since you don't really think of ponds and cory cats together. Also bear in mind that this is a project way in the future when I'm out of college, with job and have a house. I really love bottom dwellers, especially cory cats and plecos. I...

Thinking of having a themed tank in the distant future, at least partially planted. I'm still looking at plants, but for now I would like to hear some thoughts on the fish line-up. Will they get along? Do their requirements overlap without going to extremes? Is there enough room in a 40g? All...

I'm thinking of a future project for a themed platy tank (with plants). I'd like to have around 12 of them (3x Red wag, painted, pineapple, tiger ruby) and I figured they would be comfortable in a 40g. I though of having cory cats for cleanup but a school of 6 plus the platys is probably too...

How many platys could I hold in a fully cycled/planted tank, assuming there are already 4-6 cory cats? Comfortably of course. Dealing with the fry will not be an issue.:thanks:

I'm thinking about a tank for the future, with the possibility of having angels. So far my research has told me that the least risky scenario is to get a single angel and to keep it with peaceful non-nippers. Otherwise I have to worry about the possibility of pairs forming and becoming...

I'm thinking of starting a tank in the future after college. I like the idea of having a cory cat only tank. It would have a ramped shelf to increase the surface area and also get some of the corys to inhabit the mid level of the tank. Assuming java moss/fern will be the only plants in the tank...
