I have enough Java Moss to split up into 2 shipments. One I can guarantee is snail-free, the other is not. Let me know if you have a preference, or you can take both. We can trade if you have something to offer, or you just pay shipping. PM me.

These little guys are becoming threatened due to overcollection. I regret that I ordered 8 of the tiny things, but I did so with the intent of breeding them. They should arrive on Tuesday. $65 for th fish, plus $40 for the shipping. Ouch. Tonight I set up an old 10g. There's not a lot of info...

This is ridiculous! I understand that most LFS sell non-aquatic plants (mine doesn't :)), but the tube plant thing is out of hand. They are $9-12 each. They are packaged packaged under the Top Fin brand, clearly intended to be sold to aquarium owners and not terrarium owners, where they are...

I've been thinking about a few things. 1. When I make RO/DI water I always save some in gallon jugs for top offs. Can I store saltwater I mix up too? Would it be okay in the jug for a week, or will it degrade in some way? 2. Is there some sort of formula to figure out how much I need to top...

I probably should have checked with you all first. I just got a Coralife 24 gpd RO/DI unit. I seem to have the opposite problem most people do. The waste water trickles out, and the pure water comes out full force. That seemed pretty unlikely to me, so I thought maybe they mixed up the color of...

So I went to the LFS to get my first SW fish. They didn't have a tomato clown, but they did have my second choice - A. perideraion. In fact, I wound up with a mated pair that used to belong to one of the employees, which they gave to me for nearly two for the price of one. Sweet! I got this...

I have a medium sized crypt wendtii bronze and a decent bunch of water sprite available. Take one or take both.

I'm looking to add a clownfish soon and before I went out and bought one thought I would check to see if anybody here had one they needed to rehome. Would prefer something besides ocellaris/percula.

*sigh* I hate these boogers.

Just wanted to share. This might be kind of dumb, but I get a little excited thinking I might have something that others don't. I found out by accident today that the antler-looking bit on the right is Ceratopteris pteridoides. It was a hitchhiker that looks like it can grow into something...

I have a piece of driftwood that I've had for as long as I've been in the hobby (10 yrs!) but it no longer fits in with my aquascape plans. It's about a foot long, looks a little bit like an animal with a head sticking up, and has a neat little peekaboo hole in it. Java moss and fern are rooted...

I've been a FW person for 10 years with little interest in SW, until I saw the LFS' invert tank, and I had to have one too. It's an new, uncomfortable place for me to be in, to not know anything about what I want to take on, but I have AA, so I can handle it. :) I'd like to keep a few easy...

I've been posting a lot of pics and info about my 2.5g tank lately, so I thought it should have its own thread instead of hijacking other people's. I've become very proud of this tank, and I give all credit (and blame) to AA. :) This little tank started out as an experiment to test out...

I have about six 6" stems of Myriophyllum sp. I just trimmed it two weeks ago, and its already back at the top of the tank (granted, its a 2.5g, but still). And thats with no CO2 or ferts, just some decent light. I would like to trade if possible, especially for some java fern "wendelov" or a...

Clippings from rotala rotunifolia, myriophyllum (probably verticillatum, but I don't know), and a stem or two of wisteria. Maybe a few other things if I rearrange some more this week. This is just from my nano, so its only enough for one person, hurry!

Is there a comprehensive aquarium water chemistry book out there? One that covers all the parameters you test for? Besides needing to learn a little bit more for my own edification, I'm doing a chem paper on the chemistry of the aquarium and need some references. I know you all would know of...

I don't know how off topic this is, since it does relate to fish... I just visited my BF up in Seattle last weekend as he's finishing a job up there. He took me to the Seattle Aquarium because, well, he knows me all too well :) Most of the pics I took were of the aquarium and I had to delete...

I've always been interested by nano tanks, and I've also been reading Ecology of the Planted Aquarium and wanted to test out some things. Has anyone tried to follow the recommendations in the book? I wanted success with plants without the exponential complications of CO2, ferts, etc. I set up...

My rhino pleco mostly stays under the driftwood except when I'm doing PWC. I took a few pics since he so rarely graces me with his presence. From the left side. Of a 55g (before cleaning :)). That's a 12" boy right there! Pretty dorsal! Lookin at you! Another of the same pose. The kribs...

I picked out a pair from the LFS that they said had been doing some "funny business", really really really hoping they would breed. And for three months of meticulous water changes and high quality foods, they did nothing. For a while my female actually schooled with the tetras (yes, really). I...

Ok, so I ripped up my 10g to add new substrate and begin my first true aquascape, which I'm going to blame squarely on you all. The rest, though, is my fault. The night before all this, I mixed up a batch of DIY CO2. I placed the bottle in a bucket in case it made a mess (which I expected, as so...

Anyone know if those coconut mats used to line hanging baskets are safe for fish? I'd like to use it to cover a pot and maybe anchor plants to it.

Due to the "simple" task of combining all my tanks into one, I've got some very interesting interactions in my 55g. I'm trying to make an environment that everyone can be happy in. Any help you can offer is appreciated. Rhino Pleco: I have a 10 inch pleco (he's his max size, I believe). He...

Hi all! I found browsing the forum to be incredibly helpful, so I thought joining would be even more so. I'm new here, but not new to the hobby. I'm 20, but I've been involved in the hobby for at least half my life. I'm just now getting back into it. I moved a few years ago to Metro Atlanta and...
