First pic on the right side of the green rock. Second pic growing all over intake tube. It's greyish in color. South American predator tank. Java fern only plants, 10 hrs of light daily. Any ideas? Should I just pull it out and clean or is it harmless? Been growing about two weeks now.

Update: Tank finished, kinda Stock so far 1 Jack Dempsey 1 Red Devil 1 Texas 4 Tinfoil Barb 1 Common Pleco Gonna remove the tinfoils later when the cichlids get bigger. Have large driftwood pieces and rock caves. Had java fern & swords but someone ate the swords so now just java fern.

Someone is eating all my amazon swords in my tank. Does anyone know who it could be? 125 gal. W/ Jack dempsey Red devil Texas cichlid 4 tinfoil barbs Common pleco Any help would be appreciated, please don't attack me about my stocking list. They get along fine and are taken care of...

My 20 gallon planted, no fish. Just like a garden in water. Mostly swords. My favorite tank even though I have 3 tanks.

F' em up chuck

I just bought a 20 pound bag of Eco-complete substrate, for my 20 gallon planted tank. Just wondering if I should layer with sand or mix? Or just pure eco-complete only. The tank will be a RCS breeder tank with low light plants.

Unless you have purchased some good lighting. Some low light stuff like java fern would be good. It's hardy and shouldn't be planted but attached to drift wood or rocks. Some African cichlids will just dig up plants in the substrate or eat them.

A Jack dempsey, female kenyi, and convict? Correct? Nice fish

How long to prime My sponge filter in my established tank? Have a female endler about to give birth, and want to try the seprate tank method for rasing fry.

It's only seven degrees F now.

I wish to start a RCS tank for breeding also. I already breed endlers in a seperate tank for feeders. I wanted to chime in with a question. How fast will they produce feeder sized shrimp? And would a bigger tank allow for a more plentiful harvest so to speak? I wanted to try it in a 20 gallon.

Cherry barbs and rosie barbs are cool fish also, I have kept with tigers no problems. They are also less nippy IME. Adds another color to a schooling mix as well.

I also believe undergravel filters are more of a problem than a solution. A good hob filter would be best for the $. Unless you can afford a canister.

I don't know how many gallons a 127 liter is but I don't think clown loaches are ok in there. They can reach 1 ft in length and should be kept I'm schools of 4 minimum I believe.

I read the label and sniffed mine, no smell? But past couple days its pretty nasty. So I'm in the same boat, had no smell at first, but about the 5-6 time I used it I noticed the smell.

Yea, I'm gonna walk my creek soon. But right now its a balmy 20 degrees, so probably wait for it warm up a little first. Creek most likely is froze over anyhow.

Oh, well mistakes are made. Don't worry I won't attack your personal decisions like others on this site. Good luck on the 125, I just got one myself. You can never judge what Amy fish will do IMO. All you cam do is try.

Try a marineland penguin bio-wheel 200, its rated at 50 gallon. I have two on a 55 and its near silent. Has two media compartments and is affordable (20-28$).

Never replace filter cartridges, unless they are falling apart. I have used nutrafin instant cycle and it has worked wonders for me personally.

Ok, here it is. One 30$ shop light from westlake hardware. Make sure to get a unit with a hood that is half a circle and the lights are recessed into the unit. Then pick up foam tape ( one sided weather stripping) Then apply strips to edges of hood. Tada, only works for glass...

Agreed!!!

If you are prepared for it, blunt force trauma is best period. I can do it in a five gallon bucket just like a water change. Hold them one last time and end it in less than a second. I understand its two hard for some, I'm a hunter and fisherman, one thing we teach in our family is a clean kill...

That's funny, you literally have to try to kill it.

I got it at a hardware shop in a hood. Just placed weather strip along the edges. Will post a pic in a bit.

What about em? Haha just kidding, I don't think the medication would hurt, just have to read the label. And the salt shouldn't do anything either. If you use salt, make sure you get freshwater salt and dose about a teaspoon for every 10 gallons. Sorry I wish I had more insight for ya. Actually...
