Hey All, Before you say it - no, this isn't a thread about Arnold Schwarzenegger. Instead, it looks like my Assassin Snails have been keeping busy between sniping off my Ramshorns because I found this little fellow clinging to the front glass when I came home this evening. He's about the size...

Hey All, Just thought I'd share a little something (or someone) I discovered today in my aquarium. Apparently my Black Neon Tetras had been laying eggs while I wasn't looking, and... Even with the Zebra Danios, and the GBRs - it looks like at least 1 Black Neon egg made it to maturity...

Hey All, So, after all the changes that my tank has gone through in the past 6 months - I thought I would create a bit of a "show off" / "ask for suggestions" thread for people to see how I've managed to incorporate live plants into a tank that was already established as a "fake plant" tank...

Afternoon all, I've been considering upgrading the lighting on my FW 26gal Bowfront to one of Marineland's double-bright LED kits - however I'm thinking that this is going to require the creation of a custom lid and I'm looking for ideas. Right now the tank is running on a single NO (what...

Hey All, I'm looking to pick up a handful of MTS to get to work in my 5gal hex. Unfortunately, the only offers on aqua bid and eBay are either large quantities or express shipping required. I'd also rather not trust the health of the snails at petsmart... No Lfs around where I live. So I'm...

Morning all, For some background, I recently picked up a 5gal Hex that I'm planning on making into a RCS tank, but I have a question for all of you: I put a black sand substrate into the hex, and I'm wondering if I should invest in some trumpet snails to keep the sand churned. As of right now...

So, I've had my 26gal up and running for about 6 months now, and I've gotten quite good at caring for its inhabitants (no fatalities for quite some time, and no diseases or tank issues since it cycled). So since I'm currently living in a rather small apartment, I'm thinking my best bet for a...

Hey All, So, I've been feeding my mollies algae flakes, standard flakes, zucchini, algae crisps, brine shrimp, occasional bloodworms... But i'd like to see what they think of prepared seaweed/algae sheets - and while researching them, I stumbled upon seaweed soaks with garlic and vitamins. I'm...

Hey all, So, in my 26 gal bow front, I have a "school" (15-16) of juvenile black mollies, and a single young albino BN pleco. The pleco has been doing well for about 3-4 weeks, but just yesterday I found that the area between his bristles and his eyes is swollen, and his eyes are protruding a...

So, a little over a week ago, I made an addition of one small Albino Bristlenose Pleco to my tank of juvenile Black Mollies (and 1 adult) - and recently I've been observing a fascinating little game that they've been playing with each other: The ABN has been going about his business, scooting...

Hey All, I've got a fairly new tank set up and I'm still battling with water parameters (so I'll preface this by saying that I won't be purchasing any additional fish until the tank is stable) - but: It's current occupants are 1 Adult Female and 16-18 Juvenile Black Mollies. What I'd like...

Hey all, <--- For reference to my current tank setup. First, a little backstory. I got interested in joining the aquarium hobby about 3 months ago. Being the noob that I was - I was quickly lured in by BiOrb, Inc. and their "miraculously easy-to-use aquariums". I bought a 10gal version and...

Hey there. My name is John, and I'm a 22-year-old "former college student, turned responsible adult" who has just recently entered the Aquarium hobby. You can find my tank info in my Tanks link (it's my only tank for now, apartments ftl.) I feel as though I'll be visiting here often, as not...
