I'm looking for a small assortment of plants to go along with my anacharis and aponogeton bulbs in my 10 gallon tank. It's medium light and no co2. I am looking for moss, java ferns, some small foreground plants, and many other things. List what you have or would be willing to sell me...

I am trying to decide what the best cleanup crew for a heavily planted 10g is, any ideas? Right now I have several aponogeton bulbs growing, a long string of anacharis, and I plan to add a few anubias, java ferns and java moss. I would also like a small foreground plant. Any ideas for that? They...

So I am wondering how many Enderls, scarlet badis, ghost shrimp and otos to stock it with, and should I get pygmy cories too or not? It seems like people that have planted tanks generally add more fish than not, is that because the plants will consume the harmful ammonia and nitrites/nitrates? I...

Hey everybody. I still have a extra 10gallon sitting around. Tomorrow I am getting a free hood and filter. I want a cool heavily planted tank. I really like endlers and I have just found a store that will sell them to me! I also like RCS and other types of shrimp. What would be a good stocking...

Hey everyone I just got a free 20g high today. it came with an undergravel filter (lol), a penguin 300 powerhead, and a triple gang valve. I talked to my teacher about it and he said he would trade me a hood and power filter for the equipment. SCORE! I have a heater being mailed to me too :). I...

My friend is going to sell me a tank that has been lightly used for $10. It is either a 15 or 20 gallon he isn't sure...I'm excited, but also overwhelmed. What do you think I should stock it with? My first idea (totally random) was to do like a dark light or black light hood and make it a "cave...

My local LFS sells this white/pink fish with totally blacked out eyes. They say it's a blind cave tetra, but it does not have the same body style or eye style as A. mexicanus. It resembles more of a white skirt tetra, except its fins are much longer, it is slower moving and its eyes are...

Red Cherry Shrimp vs. Ghost Shrimp? Tell me why one is better than the other. After seeing that most people that are avid about the hobby use RCS not Ghosts I wanna know why. It confuses me that most people have RCS and not Ghosts...they seem to have little difference to me...show me the...

Hey guys recently I went to Petsmart looking for plants. I was hoping to find the java fern and anubias in the vials, because those are usually cheaper than the ones they have in there plant tanks. So while I was looking around I saw a few really cheap plants. I've never seen them mentioned here...

Is this hornwort salvageable? It seems to have a few growing "buds" but other than that it looks brown and lifeless. What do you guys think?

I am setting up a 2.5g planted tank. I need a very small piece of driftwood...so I'm going to have to make it. I am planning on going to the park, collecting a piece from the pond, cleaning it off, and then baking/boiling it...what do you guys think? I've been told to use hardwood (denoted by...

Okay so most people say 2.5 is good for inverts. I love shrimp. I love snails too. I have a sand substrate and I am worried about the snails kicking up the sand into the filter...will it be okay? I am also looking for some kind of nano fish. Any ideas? Any links to a list of fish for nano...

Is it possible to keep any type of fish in a 2.5gal? I really love Endlers and shrimp, could they co-exist in there together or should I stick to just shrimp and some MTS?:confused: Is there any type of fish that'd work?

I really do not want to blow 20bucks on SeaChem Fluorite if I am going to be filling such a small tank...any ideas?

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some help on creating a strong light hood for my 2.5 gallon. I have an internal filter (Tom's Aquarium 1-5gal) and a tetra 2-10 gallon heater running...so the hood needs to have two small openings for those to string out. I currently just have a piece of plastic...

This is the first entry of my planted Red Cherry Shrimp blog/vlog. Today I moved my 10-gallon tank out of my garage to a very nice little stand next to my bed. I am going to check the shrimp out and maybe even get some tubed (the TopFin kind) plants tomorrow. I am going to have a low to...

Does anyone live in Ohio near Akron or Canton that would be willing to sell me some RCS at a cheap price (.50c to $1)? My zip is 44685! Let me know! Thanks!

I want to start up a planted shrimp tank with my unused 10 Gallon. I am planning on getting the screw in fluorescent bulbs for my incandescent hood, as they provide better light for plant (so I've read). I am going to use an AquaTech HOB filter (yes the kind sold at Walmart...I already own two...

The PetCo $1 per Gallon sale has inspired me to create this thread. So post and show everyone what you would do if you could fit just one more tank in the perfect space, for the perfect price. If you have more than one idea post them all! If you find pictures as examples post them too! Show off...

I'm really interested in RCS's so I'm looking to see if anyone has some extras, they don't sell them near me (or I haven't found any for sale) I was going to get ghost shrimp but I can't even find those! RCS's look prettier and would be a better addition to my planted tank.

Hey everybody, today I purchased a heater, filter and hood for a spare 10 gallon I had sitting around. I'm excited to put some different fish from my other tank in it. In my other tank I have three cory cats, two guppies and two mystery snails. I really like zebra danios, and kuhli loaches, but...

Hey I was just wondering if anybody had any extra filters/heaters they didn't want or need anymore, or that they were going to get rid of. I am opening another tank for breeding, just a small one (5 1/5-10 gallon). Also if anyone has any bottom sword guppies they don't want I am looking for a...

Hey everyone, so I bought a lily bulb for my tank and it's growing really well. If I trim it will the trimmings grow too?

Ok, this doesn't seem to be a common problem. I can't find anything on it. I have one male and one female guppy in a ten-gallon tank with three cory cats and two mystery snails. The male is a Red Gold Tuxedo Guppy, and the female is just a regular fancy guppy (has yellow tail and gray/dark blue...

So my tank went from :invasion: to :neutral::neutral:!!!!! Are guppies territorial to other guppies? I recently cycled my tank and when I added four guppies, one of them bullied two of the other ones and they would not eat and ended up dying!!! Has anyone else had this problem? What are good...
