    New obsession! Tank pics

    Thanks everyone! My son pretty much wanted the skull and volcano so the betta side went to my daughter. Bob Bob, as she says, is her favorite so it was a must have. I thought it might be too cluttered but the ghost shrimp and even the fish love swimming in between the plants. I have added a...

    New obsession! Tank pics

    I am finally able to take some decent pics of our 2 tanks. The first is a divided 15 gallon long and the next is a divided 10 gal. In the 15 we have 4 mickey mouse platies (2 silver- Zero and Shiny and 2 dark orange- Sally and Red) 1 betta (Cujo- name fits his nice personality) 1 albino pleco...

    1+1=3?

    Okie dokie.... A couple of weeks ago we bought a zebra nerite snail (Gary's his name) and a few plants from a great fish store. I knew about the chance of other snails but we would deal with that as it came. Well when we got home we found Larry, a little brown looking snail. So, the sucker that...

    Planting plants

    Thanks for the help! At the next pwc I'll unpot them and stick them in the substrate. I might just stick with the water sprite as the fish do love it a lot! Any ideas on a small yet bushy type plant that would look great in the foreground? We have a bubble volcano and an actual real plant would...

What is the procedure for qt new fish and what happens after a sick fish is healthy again? Does the water need to be changed completely after a fish is cured or will the carbon...

    Planting plants

    I have put off planting live plants long enough and found some nice water sprites at the lfs. I have the lighting for it but have no idea as to planting it. It is in a little black bucket with some sort of spongy material around it. Does it come out of the pot or do I leave it in? I do have...

    When to add ghost shrimp and tank buddy ideas.

    Yes we tried that but he went straight for the platies fins. He was aggressive when we got him... He was the first fish I ever had that would probably bite my finger off if he had teeth! He's so pretty though and I don't like returning fish to the store. Just couldn't do it. So he sits and...

    When to add ghost shrimp and tank buddy ideas.

    Yes to the cycling! The aqaurium has been up now for a month and a half and only has had fish for 2 weeks. All test before adding fish were in the normal range and we started out with Cujo on his side and 2 platies on the big side. They did really well and my betta is now more beautiful than...

    When to add ghost shrimp and tank buddy ideas.

    O so I finally finished all prep for the tank and water and we have been adding fish the past 2 weeks so we don't overload. We want to get ghost shrimp or another type of cleaner for the tank. The tank is 15 gallons long and has a separate divided "condo" for Cujo the betta. His name fits his...

    Betta Disaster (but quickly solved)

    Ooppps Sorry that happened and glad they didn't harm one another. I am dividing my tank so I can do pretty much the same thing. I did research on the store bought dividers and quickly threw out that idea. I did a search for homemade dividers and found a great one using the plastic mesh from...
