I have a 17 gallon Mr. Aqua tank with an HC carpet and driftwood. I haven't had too much luck with OEBT shrimp or CRS shrimp, so I want to try some schooling nano fish. I was thinking a school of about 10 neon tetras, but I'm open to any ideas... What'cha got?

I currently have a 17 gallon aquascape with about 8 Orange Eye Blue Tiger shrimp. The substrate is black and the shrimp blend in, so it doesn't make for a pretty tank. I have been trying to breed the shrimp since October with no luck. Conditions are perfect for them and I've seen them berried a...

My angelfish spawned two days ago on a breeding slate and I have since moved the slate with the eggs on it to a 2 gallon tank I have. I took some rigid airline tubing and put it next to the eggs to aerate the tank. I also put some Methylene Blue in the water to prevent from fungus. About 12...

I have a 36 gallon tank with pressurized CO2 (1-2 Bps). It's full of plants with Eco-Complete substrate. The light is the 36 inch AquaticLife T5. I also dose liquid Flourish (N, P, K, and comprehensive). I have algae growing on the plant leaves and on the glass like crazy. I thought the CO2...

I want to grow an HC carpet in my 10 gallon tank. I have pressurized CO2 and a CFL light fixture. There are two 14w 5000k CFL bulbs over the tank. I can always upgrade to 20w CFLs or get 6000k ones, but I was wondering if my current setup would be adequate.

I have for sale 10 assassin snails. I have run out of MTS / pond snails to feed them, so I'm afraid they will starve in my tank. I am asking $10 plus shipping for these 10 assassin snails. If you want less than 10, I will sell them for $2 each plus shipping. Snails will be shipped priority...

I have a bunch of cherry shrimp I need to sell... I'm looking to get some CRS and I don't want both species, so I'm selling all my cherries. I bought 15 cherry shrimp in October 2012 and they have bred so many times, I have no idea how many I have. A good guess would be anywhere from 20-40...

I have two tanks: a 10 gallon and a 36 gallon. The 10 gallon currently has DIY yeast CO2 and it's very inconsistent and annoying to remix the stuff every 7-10 days. Plus it doesn't have enough pressure to push through commercial diffusers, so I'm stuck with my home-built diffuser that works...

I have a 36 gallon freshwater community tank with one angelfish. Lately, the angelfish has been laying eggs on the filter intake tube and by the looks of her bulging sides, she's been gravid for about a month straight now. I've been in contact with an angelfish breeder who is looking to sell me...

I recently discovered that my female black angelfish is laying eggs (see picture below). She is probably about 8-9 months old because I got her maybe 6 or 7 months ago when she was very small. Since I know that she is of breeding age and obviously wants to make little baby angelfish...

I didn't know whether to post this in saltwater or freshwater... My tanks are freshwater, but it's my understanding that RO water is the same no matter which. I figured more salt guys use RO machines, so this forum will do. I'm looking to buy a RO/DI water unit for my house. Here's what I'm...

Today I noticed that there's a cluster of clear eggs with a white dot in the middle underneath one of my java fern leaves. I have snails in the tank (MTS which do not lay eggs and some mysterious transparent snail species) as well as 4 oto catfish. I'm pretty sure the eggs belong to the...

I started a 10 gallon shrimp tank in October 2012 with like 13 cherry shrimp. About 6 of those cherries were female and 3 of the females had babies in November. So now I have well over 20 cherry shrimp. In December, I added 12 OEBT shrimp to the mix. Whenever I added the OEBT though, the...

I have a DIY CO2 system with yeast and sugar and I think my diffuser may be the limiting factor for effectiveness. I've been looking at the Hagen bubble ladder since its designed to work with DIY systems. Has anyone done this?

I have a 10 gallon tank with DIY CO2 set up. At first, my plants really started growing like crazy but lately it doesn't appear like they're growing at all. My mixture is as follows. I have two 500ml bottles with this mixture in each: 1 cup sugar 1 cup water 1/16 tsp brewers yeast Then I also...

I just got my Marineland glass top for my 36 inch tank and it's just a hair too big. The tank measures 36 inches long clearly, but the glass top is about 2 millimeters too long, so it doesn't fit down into the tank lip very nicely - one side hangs out. This is the glass top: Aquarium Lighting...

About a week ago, I got 4 dwarf orange crayfish (CPO) for my 36 gallon tank. I figured that 36 gallons was fairly large, so I figured four of these guys would be okay together. When I released them into the tank, I purposely put them all at separate corners so they didn't fight immediately...

I just got my moss I ordered from eBay. It's called "green blanket moss" and was from a Taiwan seller. Literally within seconds of putting it in the tank, I had a shrimp on it and within a minute there was at least 10 of them swarming it... Does anyone else have any of this?

I live in Florida and there's a ton of awesome LFS around, but they're so expensive! Everything there is AT LEAST retail cost, if not marked up 10%. On the other hand, Amazon.com has the same items for way less. Because of this, I normally order my fish stuff from Amazon. I like to help out the...

I've been trying to lower my pH lately using natural methods. I tried Indian almond leaves, but they didn't do anything but darken the water. Then I got some EHEIM Torf peat pellets, put them in my AquaClear HOB, and it dropped my pH from 7.6 to around 6.8 in just a couple of hours. After 24...

I have an Aqueon Incandescent strip light with two 14w CFL bulbs on my 10 gallon shrimp tank. Without the heater or anything, my light beats the tank to 78 degrees which is far too warm for my OEBT shrimp. Is there any way that I can raise my lamp up like a T5 fixture? So it sits like 3 inches...

I have a cherry shrimp tank that I wanted to add orange eye blue tiger shrimp to. I ordered some Indian almond leaves and placed them in the tank. Then I ordered some OEBT shrimp and they actually shipped today. After placing two large leaves in my 10 gallon (one on the bottom of the tank, one...

I just got a steal on eBay... Four CPO crayfish for $24 shipped on eBay. I'm adding them to my community tank... Anything I should know before they get here?

I have a 36 gallon tank with regular gravel substrate that I bought from Petco about 7 months ago when I set the tank up. In October (two months ago), I set up a 10 gallon tank for my shrimp and I used Eco-Complete gravel. I noticed that my pants were so much easier to plant in the Eco-Complete...

I am having a hard time deciding whether I want to get crystal red shrimp or orange eye blue tiger shrimp. I have black gravel in my tank (Eco Complete Planted stuff). Will the blue shrimp blend in too much or will they look cool? Appreciate any responses!
