Ok, thanks for the responses. Sorry it has taken me awhile to get back on here. I keep the temperature around 75, and I don't have CO2. I do use a supplement with potassium and iron in it. I am currently running 2 watts/gal lighting which after reading the read first sticky, I'm beginning to...

Rotated Pic Oops, I was so happy I got a picture of one of the clown loaches I just posted it and didn't think to flip it.

Hi, this might be a silly question. I have a 55 gallon tank that is about two months old. I have recently taken out all of my fake plants and put in live ones. In total I have three Anachris, four Cabombas, two Telantheras, and two Cardinal Plants (swords?). I have approximately 30 fish...

Ok good, I hope I'm off to a good start. I'm going to get moving on this water change tonight when I get off of work. Just 25-30%. I'll leave the gravel alone, clean the glass and test the water and we'll see how things go. Thanks for the help!!

Thanks alot, that really kind of helps things make more sense now. When i do the partial water changes, should i be cleaning the glass and the gravel every time as well?

Thanks for the help, I'm going to let it cycle now, then I'll try the plants. The catfish seem to be doing pretty good, they are always scavenging for food and they don't hide all the time anymore.

I'm not sure of the exact specs on my lighting, but when I bought the tank I told him I wanted to eventually keep live plants, so he sold me the glass tops and a higher powered light fixture, so I should have a good setup for growing. You said be prepared for alot of water testing, which I...

There's a picture of the whole tank and then the other pic is of the one they call the green catfish, he's kind of hard to see because the pic isn't the greatest and he blends in a little with the rock. The spotted one is a little bit smaller and even more camouflage than that one. So if you...

I have the strips that you dip into the water and they have pH, nitrate, nitrite, alkalinity, hardness and ammonia I believe. Would that be the kind of test kit you're referring to? I'm not sure what kind of catfish they are, the just told me that one was a green catfish and one was a spotted...

Hi, I am new at this and had a couple of quick questions. I have a 55 gal freshwater setup with a couple rocks, a few pieces of wood and about 10 fake plants. I just got it set up this past weekend and stocked it with fish on Sunday. I have 4 giant danios, 4 bloodfin tetras, 3 high fin mountain...
