Mollies can get pretty large and they excrete a lot of waste, so you might be pushing it by adding 6 mollies. But as long as you're diligent about water tests and changing, it might be doable.

FishLady, what size do you recommend for the scarlet badis, gouramis, and rasboras? I'm gonna keep the first post edited with people's advice, for easy referencing. :)

Best fish for smaller freshwater tanks? I didn't see something like this thread, so I thought maybe it'd be good to start? In your opinion, let me (and anyone else reading!) know what fish you would consider good for smaller freshwater tanks. (10 gallons or less) Fish friends for smaller...

Recently I had to remove and euthanize all my fish due to neon tetra disease, leaving only my inverts: 2 mystery snails, 4 nerites, unknown number of baby nerites, and 6 ghost shrimp. Is it possible to have a bioload too small, or is this sufficient? I have a lot of live plants and mosses in...

Awesome, thanks for the advice. I'll definitely be buying root tabs. My tank is well established but doesn't have a whole lot of animals in it; just snails and shrimp. Then again, snails do poop an awful lot... I'll be adding root tabs to keep my plants happy! I do have a little brown algae, but...

So, I was new at planting stuff (aka, had never done it or even thought of it, but said OH PRETTY PLANTS! and got them... :D) and everything in my tank is just planted straight in gravel. It all seems to be doing well and growing (just an amazon sword, some other sword type plant, and a crypt)...

I just bought this one xD I know how to make my own java rugs but I needed some initial moss and there's no way to buy them 'round here except already woven into mats. Once this gets taller and stronger, I'll be clipping it and setting up new mats until I have enough to get the place carpeted.

That should be great, Grape. :) Sorority tanks do need to have LOTS of places to run and hide, so you did good there. It's definitely gonna be fun and interesting once the girls are in. Don't forget to post pictures! I'm a huge betta fan.

Very very gorgeous! Love everything about it.

I'm still working on filling mine out, so it's still a little bare! Especially the java moss rug that's still growing. The first pic doesn't include the marimo that I recently added. My tank by Penguin KaDen, on Flickr Tribbles in my tank by Penguin KaDen, on Flickr Right now it's pretty much...

It depends on the variety of apple snail. Some apple snails, commonly called mystery snails, won't eat plants. Others will though. Apple snail (Ampullariidae) genera and species. That link gives you a good picture to identify your snail type. Mystery snails won't eat your plants, but other...

A fellow Texan! :) Hello!

Hello all, I'm an aquarium newbie from Paris, Texas, you can call me Katy! Looking to get more insight and advice about healthy aquariums and this seemed the place to go. I currently am only running a Fluval Edge 6 gallon planted, which was inhabited by neon tetras, but they started presenting...

I hate that my first post here has to be this! But it's first on my mind, so I wanted to address it now. 1) My mystery snail, a clever lady, escaped last night. I estimate she was out between 14 and 20 hours. She is currently quite alive and has eaten, but seems sort of weak and the other...
