I haven't been on in quite a while, but want to get insight on a problem I had a little while ago. I decided to be bold and try a RCS tank. Everything was going well for a while until suddenly I couldn't find the baby shrimp anymore and the adults started dying off. I realized that dead RCS...

What should I do with this? http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t294/tabbycat0282/tank010.jpg When I bought my sword plant, it had a shoot with very few leaves and roots, but now it is growing like crazy. Should I keep it connected to the 'mother' plant and plant it? Should I disconnect it...

Hello! I wanted Java Moss for my tank because it is easy to grow, fry and invertebrates love it, and it helps the water like other plants. The problem is that I bought some (1 ounce/fist full without water) for $5 and it was WAY TOO MUCH for my 5 gallon tank! What to do... I have decided to...

When you read the card and it tells you to mix the liquid by tipping the bottle/vial back and forth....how vigorous should you be when you are tipping it back and forth. I have found that the more vigorous my mixing the higher my nitrates. This has happened 3 times in a row now.... This might...

I did a PWC on my active 5 gal after testing and found the water had a pH of 6.2 with Nitrates at 80 (all other values good). Recently, PWCs have been instituted so there is a bit of crap in the gravel. I stirred up the crap...dipped out ~2 gallons and added ~2 gallons of dechlorinated water...

I have decided that I want to get some Badis Badis (aka Dario Dario?) for my 5 gal hex. My tank cycle will begin soon (next pay check) and I will wait to purchase the Badis Badis after shrimp have been in the tank for a little while to ensure that the colony will live on in the presence of...

I saw a link to a site that allows for searching out different types of freshwater fish based on their maximum size. I am looking to find very small fish to put in a planted 5 gallon tank. I wish I could find the link so that I can save it this time as it was a very interesting and helpful...

Killi: broken back? Golden male killi, had for about a year. In a Hex 5 gallon (setup from Walmart) with a recently added rubber nosed pleco (1.5"), long tank buddy with a pink danio, lots of cork-screw snails, and a few fake plants. I do not know the water quality yet. The fish is actually...

Hello all! I have had a 5 gallon hex aquarium for a while now and am seriously interested in figuring out what to do with it. I want to figure out what I should and should not put in the tank and the best way to maintain the lifespan of my fish. Once I get the hang of the 5 gallon I hope to...
