So I totally thought I had a male and a female bristlenose pleco, however the one I thought was female looked like it was starting to grow some bristles on its nose. I wasn't quit sure and haven't paid much attention recently until I saw this funky activity tonight. I kinda thought it might be...

If I buy this, how do I know how much to dose? It doesnt seem that much cheaper than buying excel when shipping is considered. Its not a prime item so I have to pay shipping so its about $15 for a quart which is about a liter and 500ml of excel is $10 with free shipping. Excel is 1ml for every...

How long do they take to grow? These guys still look sooo tiny.... Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So the last couple days I've noticed bite marks our of my hygrophila corymbosa stricta. I rehomed a couple of plant destroyers caught in the act including a rubberlip Pasco and a 3 year old angel. I've recently added a school of 8 H.razors and a pearl glutamine. Can y'all please help me figure...

Has anyone actually ordered from liveaquaria? And if so what was your experience? Has anyone ordered from any other online sources? Can you share those experiences? I'm considering ordering from live aquaria because I really want some true siamese algae eaters.... i never see them at...

Can I use primafix in the egg tank for rainbows? They are turquoise and boesemani. I put the spawning mop in two days ago and noticed eggs today! So I put them in a separate heated filtered tank. The entire mop actually ... and making a new mop to go in. I just don't know if primafix is safe...

If you run a commercial co2 setup there's usually a regulator that shuts it off at night right? So if your running diy co2 what do you do at night? Run an airstone? I have an airstone on a timer that comes on itself once every 2 hours for about 15 minutes at night only. Was thinking about a...

Its a 60 gallon freshwater planted tank. Need to keep at 78-80. House gets down to 70 in the winter at the coldest but usually 76 year round. I would like suggestions on the most cost effective and reliable brands. The one I have now is a 100watt marineland going strong but I was thinking of...

Do you guys run your planted tanks with a glass top or leave it open? While I like the fact that I get less evaporation with my glass tops, I really dislike having to use a razor blade to scrape mineral deposits on a regular basis due to the amount of water condensation I get. However the...

Besides providing a breeding mop or floating plants, is there anyway to encourage spawning? I see a lot of courting behaviours. I have a male of each species and now two females of each. Also what type of plant works best for this? Or what can I use temporarily as a substitute?

I've bought these from 2 different pet stores petco and a lps. They were called different things but nothing I could find online. And 3 of them i bought 2 years ago. Can anyone tell me exactly what they are?

I just picked this up at petco and am very excited. I hope it will make a good background plant in my 60 gallon. I used wisteria before but it wasn't growing so well recently (little to my knowledge the culpits were some plant destroying fish... the problem has been remedied)... and i also want...

Looking to buy some assasin snails, reasonabley priced. I can pay via paypal. I would like at least 4 for my 55 gallon and 2 for my 10 gallon. Will pay reasonable shipping cost as well. I live in florida zipcode 34731. Thanks! Ashley

I've got a huge overpopulation of Malaysian trumpet snails. I like them for my sand substrate but there are so many at this point I believe its impacting my water quality. I removed as many as I can each day and I do not overfeed... but when I feed my bottom feeders they colonize on their food...

So this might sound kinda silly. I have a bearded Dragon whose uvb light has to get replaced every 6 months. Now it still produces some uvb... because the bulb actually recommends being replaced every 12 months with daily 12 hour use. But I'm overprotective of my beardie so I change it every 6...

So I brought home a new female today and I suspect she dropped fry because my other three have been with a male for two months and no fry. So can anyone yell me if any of these look gravid? I can't for the life of me figure out how to tell. The first one, the plainest I suspect is the one that...

Alright so I haven't bought any new fish in a while and I've had to rehome a few species due to plant destruction (including a rubberlip pleco and two clown loaches). . so any suggestions need to be plant friendly. I also lost a rainbowshark and two turquoise rainbowfish all randomly throughout...

I have had some issues with fish in my 60 gallon planted tank recently.... mainly a few species that had me thinking I had some major nutrient deficiencies. I rehomed the rubberlip pleco and the my leaves stopped getting holes in them. Then I rehomed a couple of clown loaches and I stopped...

I got my kids, ages 4 and 6, some guppies so they can see them reproduce and it has been a month and a half with no fry. The tanks are heavily planted and I have 2 males and 5 females between two 10 gallon tanks and I usually move around the males and females once a week. I put a couple of the...

I was going to get more ceramic rings for my cansiter filter. Its a fluval 306, but was considering purigen. I don't use activated carbon unless I need to remove medications... so I am not sure about purigen. What exactly does it absorb? It says It removes "soluble and insoluble" particles but...

How often do you have to take and clean the hoses for your canister filters? I have a fluval 306 and I didn't realize I would have to take down all the tubing and clean it out so frequently. What a pain! I miss my HOB filter at this point. At first I was excited my maintenance was fairly...

Does it appear I have a male and female bristlenose pleco? Attached a picture of each of them. Also are their any special requirements for them to spawn? Anything special I could provide to increase chances? They are in a 60 gallon planted with sand substrate, a few stones, a few pieces of...

What can anyone tell me about their experience with rubber lipped plecos? I got one from pet smart and he is in my 55 gallon. Its tiny now, and absolutely adorable. I have such a soft spot for plecos, I just love them! Of course I looked them up and read about their size, diet, etc but I am...

So a few weeks ago we went to Alexander springs, which is a freshwater spring in Florida, and my 6 year old daughter brought home a minnow and some snails. That minnow looks like a plain guppy and eats voraciously so I assume it is a mosquito fish. But one of these snails has gotten HUGE! I see...

This is my first canister filter, and I am running it on my 55 gallon freshwater planted tank. I know one of the benefits of a canister is being able to install an inline heater or uv sterilizer but is that possible with a fluval 306? Maybe I am missing something but I don't see how it would...
