Thanks you guys! Putting lettuce in now.

Anyone know how to get rid of hitch hiking plant snails that are over running my tank? They have bred like cockroaches over the last few weeks and have tripled in numbers. Quite tired of them. Betta isn't eating them anymore. Neons and flounder don't have a taste for them. There must be...

Is it possible your Betta may have dropsy? Have you checked into it?

Pool filter sand is my worst nightmare. It shows fish and plant waste like no other. I want to change my substrate to black blasting sand/Eco complete mix. Might show poop and algae and plant matter less. My flounder might get upset though :-o. Lol. I have a hob filter and haven't had any...

Ive been looking for them also for a while, and the only online source ive found is the same one you did im sure. my lfs could get them shipped in, but then the mark-up would be even more. they just aren't available enough to get inexpensively. Cobalt blue angels are equally as stunning IMO and...

Omg I got a betta last week that looks alot like jitterbug! Here's my guy. Love him! He's getting my 29 gallon in a few days.

I had a nightmare last night actually. How ironic. I just gave my roommate a 20gal long yesterday for his birthday. He knows nothing about fish keeping. I dreamt that he went out and got frags, and saltwater angels, and freshwater fish, and plants and just put them all together in the same tank...

Gee, you still didn't get a test kit huh mrfish?? We told you time after time that your ammonia and nitrite levels were most likely very high. I told you that you needed to do at least a 50% water change every day until you got a test kit. I told you that ammonia and nitrite are toxic for fish...

My newest tank has ich, just noticed it this morning. My koi angel has it on his left fin. My neons have it all over. I've heard that raising the temp and adding salt over a few week period is the best way. That's what I want to try first. I'm worried about the fish tolerating salt though. I...

One of those is a Bristlenose I believe. The one in the last few pics. If he is the one thats changing color, it's due to stress. BN are wonderful in that they can tell you if there is something wrong in the tank. Test your water parameters if you see those lighter spots/stripes appear. LOVE BN...

Have you thought of looking into the more exotic specimens of angel? For instance, Koi and Cobalt Angels? They grow into some pretty amazing color IMO. Oh, and I think you should add more plants, it would look awesome! throw some java ferns and more anubias in there. Jungle/Corkscrew vals would...

If you have the cash tho, those are hands down the coolest.

Yes, crisps are beautiful also. They are expensive here tho. My lfs wanted 15 bucks a plant (small).

I have jungle Val's in my tall tank, gorgeous in the background. Low light.

There are also dwarf praecox rainbows as well, beautiful!

Male Congo tetras are gorgeous! A bit hard to come by, an slightly pricey, but SO worth it. They are a larger tetra, so only a small school (3-5) in a 20g. But that's all you'd need anyway, they are brethtaking.

I had the same problem in the beginning, my tank took 4 months to cycle because I had changed the carbon filter. I know you ha to treat for ich, but next time instead of removing the carbon filter altogether, just cut it open an dump the carbon out. Leave the filter in. You can add carbon back...

The fastest way is to obtain some already seeded filter media, as well as maybe some substrate from a well established aquarium, and add it to your filter. If you can't/don't want to go that route, fish less or fish-in cycling is about the same. I think some would say fish less is maybe a...
