We recently got a the 25 gallon planted kit from aqueon. The lights aren't great, but we put mostly low light plants, so it should be ok. Here is a list of the fish and plants: 5 platy's mixed types 4 Cory's (2 emerald, 2 I forget the type) 5 CPD's 1 zebra nerite 2 mystery snails 1 pond snail...

Great, I want 10. My lfs has had a hard time getting them.

Any RCS left? I'm looking for 10 if you have them.

From what I've read, they aren't bad and will keep your tank clean. Pond snails have a tendency to multiply if over fed and can become a nuisance if the numbers aren't kept in check. Check to see what kind of snails you have though. Each type has different benefits and drawbacks.

I'm going to wait and see if there were any than came on the plants and if they survived the dip. I'm still pretty early in the fishless cycle, so I have a little while to start thinking about how to populate.

I didn't see any on the plants I got, but I went ahead and did a potassium permegranate dip. So far no snails. If I do get a few, I will have to get an assassin. This tank is only a 5.5 gal, so a snail eating fish would be too big.

Thanks, I will need some snails, but I just started a fishless cycle. I will let you know when it is finished so we can work out a deal.

I have just finished setting up a 5.5 gal planted tank. I am going to put RCS, a snail or two, and fish. My main question is what fish? I know they will need to be small. If I only get one kind, how many of each of these can I get? Guppies Endlers CPD Scarlet Badis Platies (if it is even big...

I am receiving some plants today that the seller stated may have pond snails. I am planning on putting them in my tank at the beginning of a fishless cycle. Should I treat the plants to get rid of the snails or will the fishless cycle take care of them?

I would love to see a profile too. I've done some research, but don't know enough to write one. I'm thinking of getting these for my next tank.

I have a 5.5 gallon tank that I am going to turn into a planted tank. It has black sand, a few rocks, and a piece of driftwood. The problem is it sat for a few months with water in it and is gross. What is the best way to clean it out? Is it best to just throw everything inside away and start...

Thanks, I live up in Rincon, so I haven't been able to get to exotic underworlds yet, but I have heard about it. I don't really want female endlers at the moment. I don't really have anything to do with the fry when it comes along. I will look into the mystery snail.

I've just started cycling a 5.5 gallon tank that will be planted. I want Endler livebearers, shrimp (red cherry or ghost) and a snail (not sure what type yet).

I'm both new to Savannah (just over a year) and new to aquariums (starting fishless cycle). I was wondering if there was an aquarium club in the area and where is the best place to get fish locally?

It is a 16x9x10 5.5 gallon rectangle. I am thinking about some Christmas moss in the front on rocks or driftwood, then java fern on higher rocks in the middle, and some taller plants in the back.

What is the best substrate for a few plants and small corydoras?

I will keep that in mind as I am laying out my tank. I'm not sure how many live plants I will be doing. I will definitely be getting a light for plants and at least some java ferns, but I haven't done enough research into plants to know yet. I will before I finish cycling.

I got a new 5.5 gallon tank last night. It came with a hood and filter. The hood is fine, but I'm sure the filter stinks. It is a top fin 10 and I completely expect to change it out. My main question is what kind should I get? I also need to know what size heater will be enough? I am going to...

I am getting back into aquariums after not having one since high school. My wife and I want to get one for my son's room since he loves fish and it is really the only space we have. The problem is we only have about 17" x 11" of space. I have been looking at the JBJ Nano Cube 180 8-gal, Aqueon...
