The DIY guppy boxes were made with old milk cartons, and I poked holes in them. They helped hold all the fry without getting eaten (yeah I saved them all lol). Let me know what you guys think!

Lets say I have a fluorescent strip that is 30W. So compare with.... Now lets say I also have a fluorescent bulb that is 30W. So I have about 1 Watt per gallon if I'm using a 30 gallon tank right? I have a ton of anubias so I'm not worried, except I have a moneywort plant that may need some...

I was looking into shrimp, my planted tank is unheated and I heard shrimp will do fine in the 60's without heating as long as there is a filter. The tank is heavily planted in fluorite and I dose daily. It's high light. My fish stores sell ghost shrimp for like 10 cents each. I was looking...

Let me know what you think!

This is day 2, I planted them last night.

Hey here is my planted tank build, apparently I bought a ton of dwarf hair grass (way too much!) so I haven't even been able to plant it all because my hand hurts and so does my back! But I do want to point out that these new Petsmart bags are providing some plants in excellent condition! Even...

I currently have HC and microswords, they look kind of messy and I'm not sure I have the right setup for a carpet look (30W in 10 gallon with CO2, Fluorite, and some liquid dosing). So I was wondering if you guys could recommend a plant that would look nice and fill up the tank without looking...

Hey so I noticed there are airpumps for different sizes of aquariums. What happens if I get a 10G air pump for a 30 gallon tank? Also, if I keep it on all day will it take up a ton of energy?

I have a couple of Nyphoides Aquatica in my tank and they're sunk at the bottom. I have heard that these will float to the top if enough leaves grow on it. Currently I have 1 Leaf but 3 more are coming in on each plant. How many leaves can grow off of one plant and how many will it take for...

I posted in the freshwater member's showcase and I don't know how to switch thread categories. I figured I would get more people to look at it through the breeding category. Here's the link: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f70/diy-guppy-fry-box-184228.html Your input is much appreciated :)

Hey here is my guppy tank, I have 1 male the other two died for some reason :( and 5 females. I have about 56 guppy fry. I set up a breeder box originally but realized they were way to small for more fry!!! So I put the new borns in the breeder boxes that I bought at the fish store and as they...

Hi, I have about 6 adult guppies and they just had about 50-70 guppy fry. Of these, maybe 10 are a month or so old and the rest are still tiny. I'm wondering how many guppy fry I can safely have in my tank, I've had this setup for a couple of months with no ammonia spikes or anything. I have...

I am leaving for vacation for 2 weeks about. My dad has agreed to feed my fish but I don't want to burden him with having to turn on the light for 8-10 hours a day. My room has indirect sunlight that shines in and lights up my room for about 5-6 hours a day and then the sun shifts and it's not...

Hey all so I just bought the nutrafin ladder and I do realize it takes a couple of days for the slime coat to form and the bubbles to really start moving. My question is, even if the bubbles just sit on the ladder, is the co2 still diffusing into my water so that at least some of it still gets...

I heard once they breed, they kill everything else living (threat) in the fish tank. I have 1 black convict and also 1 jack dempsey in the tank right now...I want to add more fish and also I like the black convict, but should I avoid adding more black convicts in case they breed and decide to...

YouTube - 1600 Liter Aquarium mit Diskus, jungen Geophagus und Heros I can only find big blocky chunks of wood at the stores, where can you find branched complex ones like this?

Planning on adding many bamboo plants to cover up the gaps so they can't see each other. So far no problems though! ^_^ Would like to aim for an asian theme (bamboo and some kind of statue in the middle of each side). Right now I moved all my plants over to this tank because I am treating...

What's the best treatment for this ich problem? Only my neon tetras have it, but i'm pretty sure my other fish will get it soon enough. I have a rainbow shark tiger barbs and some corydoras Do I need to medicate the entire 55 gallons? What medication do I use for this? I might also need to...

Curved tanks hurt my eyes when I try to look at them, it bends everything out of perspective...has anybody else had this problem? I stick with rectangular tanks because of that...:???:

Hi, I used to have 5 corydoras (dwarf) but I lost in my old 10 gallon. The remaining 3 were transferred to a 55 gallon just recently and they are doing great. Now what I have a bigger tank, I was looking at bigger cories...I also know that cories like to be in groups of 5-6....so if i buy...

This is my first actual (big) tank that I have ever had! I had a 10 gallon before this but realized that I can't enjoy the relaxing aspects of an aquarium at that size hahaha :D It's so big!!! I don't even know how to decorate it, help me with some good ideas :) P.S. right now I have used...

They had plants for sale, buy 3 get 1 free, and they had 2 healthy looking amazon swords, and 1 healthy java fern, that's all I did research on and they didn't have another plant that I knew about, so I ended up having to gamble and took an umbrella plant...argh :( So I read that it will rot...

I totally forgot what the person at the LFS told me :( Can anyone help me identify what plant this is?

I am a newb at this whole "propagation of plants" thing and I have no idea what a "runner" even looks like. I have tried countless times to google image it, but I am having no luck. I'm not quite sure what to do to propagate my Corkscrew Vals can someone help me? :/

Are there any good plants out there that have a carpetting effect but are also easy to maintain? I have my homemade CO2 injector in my 10 gallon and I have my desk lamp shining into it (about 25 W)...but I am totally sad that my dwarf baby tears just died like that, also they were very messy...
