Hey guys, I just had a question about some weird happenings with my apistos. I had 2 apistogramma agassizi. Both males (bought before sexable) and they got along for a while, but soon one became very dominant and I hardly ever saw the other. The non dominant male began to have a clamped tail...

Hi I'm looking to buy some low grade crystal reds... Preferably A-S grade. Let me know if you have any you want to get rid of! I'll pay via pay pal

It's been a while since I've been on the forums, but I miss you guys and I wanted to show an update to get some feedback on my tanks! Criticism and advice is welcomed! 10g fish: Bart- Betta 3 Cory cats (2 peppered 1 jullii) I know... I need more to keep them happier Ghost shrimp (#?) 2...

Hey guys, just want some opinions-- Seems to me like the roots on my plants are going bonkers... They're all over the substrate on the right hand side of my tank. Is my substrate too thin? Or is it normal? Trying to hide them with shorter plants like crypt parva. Should I try to thin out the...

Ok, so as I'm going off to college in a few months I have to have something to take my Betta with me. I'm not allowed to take either one of my big tanks :( which really sucks. However, I have been looking into the Finnex 4g pico aquarium. Seems like a nice setup. And I think it's within the...

Ok, I am trying to get everything in my 29 Gallon tank down to a science... I have one last issue, and that would of course be- CO2! I run 1 DIY 1.89L Juice Bottle (which seems to produce most of my CO2) AND a Red Sea CO2 Bio Generator (which honestly seems next to worthless) I am able to...

Ok this tank of mine is becoming frustrating... Is there really something else wrong with it? I've found little tiny white things sliding along this glass this morning.. But there's a ton. What are these?! I took a picture, but it just looks like 2 little white specks.. They aren't free...

Wow... Today... I have been devastated. Please help me. I am stumped. I am looking up Ick treatments... and none of them seem feasible for my tank. Salt Treatment-- kills my plants Medications-- kills invertebrates Heat-- Iffy? I'm not sure if it works with just heat alone. I...

This is my 29 gallon. :) I got it off CL, and many of you kind people have been helping me relentlessly through my journey of getting it up and going. So... Hopefully you enjoy seeing some pictures if it up and going. I got through the cycle... I got my t5HO fixture... I got my plants and...

I just got my new fish in today for my 29 gallon! 14 cardinal tetras (although I suspect 2 may be neons... They school with others though. Possibly just young?) 3 Amano shrimp bringing my total to 6 3 otos (all doing well!) 1 Siamese algae eater (bad state)- very concerned. I wanted this...

Ok, I got 6 nerites the other day... ALL are fine except this one that seems to be completely shriveled up and dead looking... However, he is still putting up a fight when I tug on the opening of his shell and is still moving periodically.. I set him face down in hopes that he will take off...

Even though shipping is very pricey.. I'm debating ordering fish. It's easier for me since I'm in a small town. Any websites you guys would recommend? I need an albino bristlenose, 12 cardinal tetras, and some shrimp/snails.... I hear it's usually a flat rate for shipping.. but just the...

Ok. I ordered a fixture but it was too small- now I'm looking into buying either This: http://www.bigalsonline.com/Fish_Lighting_LED-Lighting_LED-Double-Bright-Lights.html?tc=fish Or...

So... I think I'm almost done with my fishless cycle. I tested water today and here were parameters after I added 6-7 drops of 10% ammonia to my tank last night. Ammo-1-2ppm Nitrite-5ppm Nitrate-10-20ppm My tank is well planted. Once my nitrites go down I think I'll get a pwc performed and...

I want some snails to start combatting my algae! However... I would like a species that can't reproduce in FW. I thought I read somewhere that there were certain species that couldn't. Thanks for any input! -Corbin

Hello everybody! While I'm cycling my tank, I'm primarily concerning myself with the look of the plants in the tank, I know it doesn't look absolutely amazing or anything, but I'm open to comments and suggestions on where I should keep/move stuff. I have two pieces of driftwood that are still...

SOOOOO.. I'm an idiot. And I'm lucky I have no fish in my tank. I have a 29 gallon planted I am trying to get cycled, and I ordered a test kit that took like.. over a week to come in... So I figure- Why not start before it gets here? WHAT A NOOB. I get my test kit and my Ammonia is OFF...

Hey, everybody. I just wanted to ask before I put a bristlenose pleco in my 29 gal medium planted aquarium if he will eat anything. I love the little bristlnoses, but I really don't want him to eat my plants... I will have driftwood, because I hear they need it to aid in digestion or whatever...

So, basically it's too late, but I just wanted to ask if this: Nova Extreme T5 High Output X2 Lighting Fixtures is a sufficient light for a 29 gallon planted tank? I already bought it, and I am just looking for reassurance, but I'm pretty sure it is a decent system.. better than my cfls I...

OK, guys... Don't make fun! I brainstormed this up today... I'm getting in some driftwood from the Driftwood store ( AWESOME SERVICE, Rod is the nicest guy, definitely recommend them.. and good prices ) and I want to grow my java moss on it, but I also thought it would be cool to get a little...

My tank with the new plants I just got and my moss ball! Just got a javafern, water sprite, and brazillian pennywort today.. Oh and also an aponogeton bulb? Pretty excited to see if these will eventually dense up and make my tank a bit greener Any comments on the look? Any suggestions? I'd...

Hey guys, sorry to bother you with another CO2 DIY question, but I have a 30 gallon tank with a diffusor set up... I feel like I'm not getting enough diffusion out of a simple air stone, but I don't have a powerhead to mock what most of the people on youtube do that claims "100% solubility"...

My plants are looking terrible! I don't know if I have sufficient lighting... But my plants seem to be almost shredding. Is my water too hot? I have a co2 diffuser now. I have fluorite substrate under black sand. The plants are crypts and they're supposedly low light... I need help! What am I...

So, here's my new tank I want to know how to keep these plants alive while im cycling and have not a lot of income to spend on fancy lighting and such. I bought my tank used, and it has a fluorescent strip for 1 bulb, but there's nothing in it and I can't find anything locally that will fit...

Before I put fish in, I know I obviously need to cycle my new tank. I'm really excited to get this thing all cleaned up (I bought it used). I need to buy a replacement bulb.. Probably a 24" by the looks of it? Not sure. Anyways, I was wanting to know any suggestions for good substrate, I...
