Ordered the NA Thrive! Thanks!

Thank you! In my current tank I do have Amazon swords, a java fern, a couple small Anubis’s, and some Java moss. The moss is growing great but the Java fern has gotten a little stumpy. I have a suspicion that it might be because I have virtually no nitrates in my tank. This might be totally off...

Thank you for the advice! Currently my lighting plan is a 26 watt hygger light from amazon, so I'd probably say I would need plants that want moderate to low light levels. However, if there are suggestions for better lights (preferably $50 or less) I would be willing to hear them.

I have had a 20 gallon tank for about a year and a half and I have decided to upgrade to a 40 gallon breeder. The filter I would be using is a Marineland Penguin 200, which has a filter rate of 200gph. The substate would be black gravel. My ph is around 8.2. I do plan on having plenty of live...

I know you said you were looking for fish, but might I recommend Nerite Snails. They keep all my tanks clean. I keep one snail for every 5 gallons.

I was thinking of plants that would grown in the water. The pond is in ground but it is a shell and sticks out of the ground about 4 inches. There are rocks stacked around the edge of the pond but they are easily removable. We are planning to get a few goldfish for the pond. Plants that offer...

I have a 125 gallon pond that has both shallow and deep parts. The deepest part of the pond is 15ish inches deep. The pond is very shady and only gets about 2-3 hours of direct sunlight each day. It does not have a heater and the average temperature of summers here is about 75-80 during the day...

Ok thanks!

I have a 5.5 gallon tank. It currently has 8 cherry shrimp and a sponge filter. It also a small Anubis, a crested Java fern, and a few juvenile normal Java ferns. I am wondering if a trio of male guppies would be overcrowding a tank of that size. I have a ph of 8.2 and the tank is cycled. The...

Ok so I caught one in a glass and have been watching it for a few minutes and it has not seemed to move. I think they may just be plant fibers.

Oh and the tank used to belong to a betta with fin rot who recently died. I never noticed any worms on him. I also added brand new driftwood that was boiled for 1 hour today. There were also new rocks added today that were very dusty. I rinsed the rocks off and soaked them in a bowl of water. I...

After doing a 90% water change yesterday, I noticed these tiny white things. I did another 50% water change today and after refilling the tank, I noticed them floating around again. I think they are worms because some of them seem to squirm around. I haven’t noticed them crawling around...

I am planning to start a cherry shrimp colony in a 5.5 gallon tank. Ph: 8.2 Gh: 6 Kh: 0-1 Is it possible to have a cherry shrimp colony with that low of a kh? Should I get some crushed coral or just give up on the shrimp and get a beta or something. I would really like shrimp but if the water...

Thanks! I was planning to do Andy’s method of adding them all at once will a little bacteria from a cycled tank

I have two honey gouramis that are both about 2 ish inches long. Can anyone tell the genders of these fish? Here are pictures The picture of the other fish

I have a cycled 10 gallon tank that currently has 1 honey gourami. I am planning to add 6 ember tetras as well. Is it ok to add all 6 tetras at once or should I add 3 at once, wait a week, and then add the other three? I would prefer to add them all at once but if that would overload the bio...

I recently picked up two honey gouramis from my LFS but now I’m not so certain they are actually honies. I have a suspicion that they might be sunset thicklip gouramis. I would say they are both about 1.5 - 2 inches. Let me know if you need more pictures.

In the tank there are 4 zebra danios, 2 GloFish tetras and a female Platy. I know I need to add to the number of danios and tetras.

I think you might be misunderstanding a little. The mystery snail’s shell cracked about 6 months ago and the nerite’s has cracked only very recently. The crackings were maybe 5-6 months apart. I do not take the snails out when I clean the tank I believe the gh is normal because I got an api...

You could also try raising the temperature to 27 c. That might help shorten the ich life cycle a little.

I've got a 20 gal tank with 2 nerites and I used to have a Mystery Snail who died recently (it was about 7 months old but it also had a crack in the shell that developed maybe a month after I got it.). Today I noticed a crack in one of my nerites. It is still active and moving around like...

Before the 30% and 75% water change, when was your last water change? Sometimes if it has been a long time, ammonia and other stuff can build up under the substrate and is released when you disturb it

Did you happen to catch what other fish (if any) were in the tanks you got your fish in? If there were guppies in the tank, it is probably a guppy fry.

Ordered API aquarium salt from Amazon. It should be here on Tuesday.

Doses anyone know what disease this is?
