So today after I had got home from work my girlfriend was watching 2 of our 4 Panda Corys playing on the glass (they normally are tired/hiding/scavaging by this time of day) and noticed a baby cory (~1 - 1.5 cm in length, full panda colors) peeking out in the amazon swords. Is there anything I...

My water sprite has recently been taking off and needs to be tamed. Anyone know a good way of trimming it so it doesn't look terrible? Pic below if anyone's interested. When I first got the new plants (~3 weeks ago) Now.

Does anyone know what the concentration of Potassium Permanganate in Jungle Clear Water? I'm looking to make up a 5 ppm solution to dip plants but I'm not exactly sure what I'm starting with.

I am about to put in an order at sweet aquatics for a bunch of plants to stock my tank. Im using (up to, currently at 48W) 96W of T5HO 6700K, PFS substrate (larger than normal sand grain size) and in the process of setting up a DIY CO2. (4) Vallisneria Asiatica Var. Biwaensis (Corkscrew...

Since I have had the tanks it seems I have had issues with (what I believe are) Diatoms. Just this past week I upgraded the lighting to 48W T5HO (Using half of a 4x 24W fixture) from a 20W T12 single tube fixture so hopefully that will help with the diatom issue. Is there anything I can do to...

Alright, so originally I took this picture to ask about the red spot that is on the side of my krib; But looking at him closer while taking the pic it looks like the side of his face is distorted...possibly missing a chunk. I dont have a QT tank set up, I do have a 3g bucket I use for water...

Well, after about 4-6 days of what I thought was the Tiger barbs reestablishing territory and ranks, one (maybe two) of the females appears to be constantly laying eggs. My tank is a little bit in a frenzy right now with all the tiger barbs chasing each other while the krib is just trying to...

Here is my tank right now: I have been told I could use more decor in it. I agree. Plants are at the top of my list right now. Ordered new lightning. Looking at plants to get so I can plan before it comes in. The following is a plant pack i thought looked interested. Micro Sword or Dwarf...

I am looking to buy a T5HO Fixture, and This one would be the most ideal one for me in terms of length, bulbs and price. It is a 4x 24W 6700K setup (96W total). That would seem to be a little too much wattage for my 29g tank where I'm looking to set up low to mid light plants. My question is...

Recently 1 of my normal tiger barbs has been chasing the another relentlessly. When they catch up to each other the male seems to push the female at her side with his nose. I assume the one that is chasing is a male, and the one being chased is the female (she has a huge belly compared to the...

Here is my 29g. 6 Zebra Danio, 6 Tiger barbs, 1 Kribensis. Been taking it slowly. Driftwood and bacopa plants were added about 2 weeks ago. Kribensis I had just got this weekend and he seems to like that flowerpot on the left side of the tank. I picked up a background for the tank last...

I could use some help identifying some rocks to make sure they are safe for to put in my tank. I grabbed them from a freshwater river in Vermont. Pretty certain the #8 rocks are Fe2O3.

At the moment I have 3 small amazon swords and a few lemon bacopa and just added a piece of mopani. My tank looks pretty empty still and I would like to get more live plants. The "standard Plant Pack" from Liveaquaria.com looks interesting, it includes (any other suggestions are gladly welcome)...

So I had planned on getting a Krib for my 29g tank that currently has 6 Tiger Barbs and 6 zebra danios since the bottom of my tank is a bit lonely. Now im a bit new to aquariums so I wanted to come here and get some advice before I go out and get the krib. I want to make sure mixing a krib...

So I am looking to rearrange my 29g tank to place a piece of mopani wood (been soaking for ~10 days now), a new flower pot, and plant the new lemon bacopa I bought. I currently have 3 small amazon swords in the tank (only been in there ~1month, dont believe they are rooted too deep) and 3...

Hi Everyone! My girlfriend and I have recently started a 29g tank and we are new to the aquarium world. The tank was set up in April, cycled with 3 zebra danios, and now have 6 zebra danios, 3 Tiger barbs, 2 Albino tiger barbs, and 1 Green Tiger barb occupying it. There are also 3 Amazon swords...
