I have some new(ish) additions to my 10g, so it seemed appropriate to post some pics! First is an ABN who is living here temporarily until my mom can take him home. Not new, but my 5 serpae tetras have colored up even better here at school than they did at home! They're wonderfully...

I have an Amazon-ish "biotope" that I feel needs something more. I've decided I want to attempt to get back into cichlids after years of convicts, but still keep the community tank. I have 2 great LFS stores near me that I'm visiting Saturday. One has an UNREAL selection of rams. I'm talking...

About a week and a half ago, I purchased some frogbit. Its roots had kind of melted off during transport, but for a week or so it absolutely flourished sprouting roots and new plants then all of a sudden, it died. No changes in temp, lighting, or anything. Right now, I have 2 9w CFLs and the...

Especially: Limnobium laevigatum, Amazon frogbit OR Phyllanthus fluitans, red rood floater Also looking for some (not all): Hydrocotyle leucocephala, Brazilian water ivy Alternanthera reineckii, hygro (red variant or regular) any Echinodorus sp. (especially parviflorus, rigidfolius, and/or x...

Our (my mom and my) BN died sometime this morning :'(. Not sure why...he was plump and happy as ever last night, devored an algae wafer. To add the to frustration, no one in our area apparently sells BNs anymore. After so many mysterious losses (well, mostly bent platies/swordtails), a full...

I finally got my paycheck and got to buy my 10g! I moved all the gravel over some an established tank (wanted to change it out anyway) as well as some other stuff to help it along as well as my 2 otos. I got 3 minor red serpae tetras...I wasn't planning on them, but they were with the black...

Since I'm sitting around waiting to find a cheap tank, I'm trying to decide on decor and such. I'm working on a Amazon biotope-y aquarium. I can't decide what to do with the back though! So, what would YOU do?

For my mom's birthday, I want to install moonlights in/on our 20g. I'm not sure how many I need though. Would one of the kits I see on ebay suffice? Other ideas? Also, where would I put them? TIA!

After exhaustive research, I've come to a conclusion on my 10G for next year (seriously, it's a 4 book excel file with all my info!). Basically, it's a loose amazon biotope. I'm planning on filtering it with sponge filters (easier to hide), but open to changing that. My question is what...

I've officially been bitten by the aquarium bug...so I'm looking for some input and ideas for my next tank! It will be 10 gallons. I can't have any bigger since I am living on campus at my college. However, I need to be able to move them 2.5 hours about 4 times a year, so no live plants...

I joined like 2 months ago and forgot to do this...oops. This is kinda jointly shared with my mom as our big aquarium is both our project. I'm a girl, in college, a chem major (which is freaking AWESOME), a huge genetics nerd, and I've had fish for just about forever. We started out with...

Several (maybe 3-5? of 11) of our neons have what I can best describe as bumps on their undersides. The others look perfectly fine. The lumpy ones have been lumpy without any changes for the past several days. They are all eating heartily, schooling happily, and swimming normally. They also...
