You will see the molt because it is almost like they shed their outer shell like snakes do. However, I have noticed that while all of my levels are zero as well, after my shrimp molt they always tend to just disappear.

I would say that your livestock aren't suited for your tank, goldfish are cold water fish, the kois will get way too big, the pleco will get way too big, they get to like 3 feet long when they are fully grown. The ghost shrimp are fine though and your crayfish, I have heard that they destroy...

About a month ago, I bought 8 ghost shrimp for my 40b tank. Recently they all just disappeared. I know my fish don't eat them because my rasboras and cardinals don't go anywhere near them. I continue to test my parameters and they are all good. I keep reading that they are easy to keep but this...

As long as you have old filter media, your tank will pretty much be cycled within a few days. If you have new filter media, the shrimp and snails probably won't speed up the cycle.

I recently got a rubbernose pleco but all he does is hide under my driftwood all day. I saw him swimming around the first day I introduced him, but after that I haven't seen him since. I have had him for around 3 weeks now.

Right now I'm running an aquaclear HOB filter that is up to 50g on my 40b tank. I see some people with canister filters but I am wondering if I should get a canister filter myself? I really like the filtration system in the aquaclear filter and I was wonder if canister filters are nearly the...

Ah, okay. Makes sense.

I had been doing some work around the house, it was pretty dark and it was after I had fed them by about 30 minutes and I noticed behavior I had never seen before. My harlequin rasboras had been flaring their fins up at each other. I'm not even sure why they are doing this but they haven't...

Holy crap, how did your grass so thick?

Do you think it would be a good idea to dose with excel until I get a DIY co2 system set up?

My understanding is that the regular flourish is the liquid fert, but the flourish excel is sort of an artificial co2 introducer. I will use flourish liquid along with the tabs.

I have been looking recently at the seachem website and I noticed something and got confused a little bit. I noticed that the flourish additive adds the same things that the flourish tabs do, which I added to my tank when I first set it up. Should I actually get flourish excel or do I just dose...

I have been keeping a 40 breeder lately, and I really am interested into the salt water side of things. I am hoping to eventually do a reef tank down the road when I can get the money, but I need to understand a bit more. I understand the concept of a sump, but with a sump, I will install a...

I can't seem to find this plant anywhere, I bought it at petco once and have never seen it again. Secondly, I can't seem to make it out in any pictures on the Internet. However I can provide that the leaves grow from the main stem, and the stem is segmented.

Sounds good to me guys, any opinions on glass catfish?

How are the rasboras different from schooling fish? I will look into getting the anacharis.

How much does that run you? And how often you recommend changing each?

Have you recently seen that fluvial bought aquaclear?

To each his own I suppose, I've had mine which was used and is running strong at 5 months.

I have the aquaclear 30 on my 40 breeder. I only run it about 50 percent the flow is so strong, I would buy a new one over and over.

Bristlenose pleco it is for my nice 40 breeder!

Looking to get a school of red cardinal tetras, but would it be okay to have them with my school of white minnows + harlequin rasboras?

I had the same thing in my 10g. I bought an aquaclear powerhead and it cleared it all right up.

I'm really thinking of buying one of these for my 40 breeder.

Not to steal this thread but I recently bought a t5 fixture for my 40 breeder. Do you guys think I need a t5ho?
