    Few food Qs

    1. I bought a couple of flagfish to eat my algae that's started (I just love them! So different from the typical catfish!) showing up on stuff. Their doing a good job of it. I read somewhere that giving them romane lettuce or zucceni was a good idea so I stopped & bought some lettuce tonight...

    Few loach Q's

    I bought a trio of skunk loaches to get rid of my snails (pond snails, would like to replace w/ MTS) in my 10gal & are currently doing QT in my 5gal tank. These are only temporary, I only plan to keep them long enough to do their job then i'll trade them back. My 10gal doesn't have a bad...

    Been gone a week - EEKKK!

    Boy does my tank look NASTY! Had to leave last Friday for a week long trip. Made the decision to leave my tank lights on as for multiple reasons I couldn't get a timer before I left & didn't want the boys watching my fish to have to come over 2x a day. Had a few of the dwarf sag. plants & my...

    WoW! Planted tanks change FAST

    I think my anacharis is trying to leave my tank 8O 8O 8O There's one particular stem that appeared to be moving towards my narrow leaf sag. Took a look back to pictures I took Tuesday, and it is! I think it's trying to get into some better lighting. Will move it so it isn't competing w/ the...

    After waiting a week for my plants I finally called aquariumplants & got the problem fixed, and here they are!!! My tank is a complete wreck! The onion plants were a lot taller then I thought they would be. Don't have a lid, heater, & lighting for my 5.5gal, so the plants I ordered for it are...

    Switching filters & filter floss

    I did most the cycling on my 10gal w/ a HOB filter. Then I started to cycle my 5.5gal tank & decided to give an intank filter a try. I really liked the intank filter & decided to buy another one to put on my 10gal. 1. How long should I run the intank filter on the 10gal before removing the HOB...

    Acclimating plants?

    Fingers crossed i'm getting my plants today or tomorrow. Anything special I need to do with putting them in my tank like with fish? Should the rhizome be fairly easy to spot? I know it's horizontal. *Think* anubias is the only plant I need to find it on, will check out the info on everything...

    What kind of rock to use for attachment?

    GRRR! Put in my plant order so I went to buy driftwood today. I went to the pet store & Walmart in town, neither has driftwood. Went to Petsmart in a town an hour away, no driftwood. Went to another really nice pet store in same town as PS, they had wood for aquariums, but all the pieces stuck...

    Should I add shrimp?

    Every where I turn I see shrimp coming up, especially with planted tanks. If i'm putting live plants in my tank, should I be adding shrimp?? How much extra do they add to the bioload? I ask because it's a 10gal tank & I know i'll be going to the max on fish (5 1-2" fish, but with the way my...

    Some species & growing Q's

    1. Would pennywort become a problem like duckweed can in a tank? Also I read the stem can reach up to 12" depending on the species, how likely is that to happen? 2. How do you get java moss/fern to attach to driftwood? I know I can get it already growing on driftwood on the net, but since my...

    Going w/ live plants & have a few Q's

    I'm in the process of setting up a 10gal tank for my female bettas to live in (well, it sounds great on paper, just hope they get the memo... :roll:) The tank needs to be heavily planted so after pricing silk plants I decided it would be worth it to at least consider going live, especially with...
