    Switching to LED lighting -- plant suggestions?

    So I may or may not have went a little crazy with black Friday deals. Aside from purchasing $400 in hedgehog supplies, I decided to buy new lighting for my 29 gal. I previous had florescent lighting, and my plants are not growing . I have something in there that was labeled at the pet store as...

    Trade Value - Large Angel Fish?

    I have a large marble angel fish that is tearing my tank apart. I got her as a tiny little baby, but now that she is bigger I want to trade her to the LFS. Any suggestions on what I should try to get them to trade for? I want more fish as I don't feel like I have many, and at the moment I have a...

    Whoo - I haven't killed my Otto - Yet!

    It isn't cycling. I'm pretty sure that it just had a bit of ammonia probably because I added 3 fish? Not totally sure, but last night when I tested it seemed to be gone and they tested @ 0. I'm going to do a water change anyhow probably on Friday. The is algae everywhere so they have plenty to...

    Endler/Guppy mixes or vry small guppies?

    Thanks for the input guys =) Vircomore - That is what I feed them until they get a bit bigger and then i just crunch up some flake food for them =) I can only feed it to the ones that I manage to catch and transfer over to the fry tank tho because it makes my adult guppies so bloated and they...

    hey guys! I've been MIA for a while but I am back now because I have a quick quesiton! I bought a couple of female guppies off the interwebs a while back and they had babies pretty much as soon as I got them here... Well now the babies are about 3 months old and although they are VERY pretty...

    Floating Plants

    I love my duckweed =) And even with it my nitrate levels are somehow rediculous high! My apple snails go up to the top and eat the crap out of it! My baby guppies also like hanging out in clusters of that and hornwork.. I've never had an issue with it covering my aquarium like I've heard that it...

    What fish??

    I think that your plan is fine =) I'd make sure you have some plants in the 2.5 gallon... I've never really moved pregnant guppies because everytime I do, I have bad luck with it. I think you'd probably need a heater but that just depends. I don't have a heater to actually keep the water warm...

    More oxygen = less co2?

    Duckweed!

    I actually like my duckweed as well... I have had it for about 2.5 months and it is just now starting to cover my 10 gallon tank... I'll just scoop some of it out and let it build again... I have mystery snails and they eat this stuff like it's going out of style!

    Is this a leech?

    This looks like a leech to me... idk how tiny they could be but I know that after I've been fishing before we were cleaning catfish and we pulled some pretty large leeches out of their stomach... maybe one of the fish that you bought had a baby living inside of it? idk if that's even a...

    best plants to get rid of nitrates?

    Thanks! I'm actually trying to figure out something that will make the water withstand a 2 week period without a water change tho... so idk would that work for getting rid of them, but then make them come back pretty much right away?

    best plants to get rid of nitrates?

    I'm using my API master kit... and it's the card that comes with it and not the one for another kit.. although that does sound like something I would do... yeah I am! I did it exactly as the bottle read... add drops from bottle 1, mix in, shake bottle 2 for 30 seconds, add drops, shake for 1...

    best plants to get rid of nitrates?

    I've been having a problem with my nitrates being completly off the chart they are so high! I posted a thread a while back about this and someone told me that the only way to really get rid of them was water changes and that plants consumed them... Well the nitrate problem is so bad that I am...
