One of my mystery snails laid eggs. Anything I should know to ensure they hatch? How long until they hatch? Thanks, Arklatex.

I have an 11.4 gallon tank with a Fluval 106 canister and live plants. The tank has been up and running about 1.5 months. I used media from my 20 gal tank that has been running for a year to jump start the cycle. The current inhabitants are: 7 harlequin rasboras, 1 platy (temporary) and a few...

I am planning on swapping out my gravel for eco-complete. My tank has 10-12 cherry shrimp and one huge ghost shrimp as well as a few livebearers. My question is: How to get the shrimp out of the tank. I could net some but I have doubts about being able to get them all with out possibly killing...

If anybody has some pygmy chain they're willing to part with let me know. Thanks.

I want to change the black ribbed hoeing that came with the filter to some clear line. I know they're are several people who have done this on this forum. What size do I need? :thanks:

I want to get my 20h from low light to medium at least. The light I have now is an 18 watt NO fluorescent. My idea is to put a 18" finnex ray 2 to achieve med-high light. I understand the system of wpg for non-led but I am not familiar with PAR. Will this light fixture be enough to get out of...

Hi all, I've been wanting to get a betta for a while now and recently saw a good deal on a sw pico tank kit from Dr F+S. I went ahead and got the tank which came with a mini HOB and a 9W clamp on light. Total cost for the kit was $42. I also added some other essentials which came out to...

I would like to add some more plants to my tank but I'm not sure about my lighting situation. I currently have java fern in it that has done well and made plenty of baby plants, but I'm ready to diversify my aquascape. The tank is a 20 tall that has a 18" fluorescent light fixture. It came with...

I've decided to upgrade from a 20g to a 55 gallon and i have a few questions about heating and filtration. As for heating i see a 200 watt heater is the right amount of wattage but is one heater going to heat this large of a tank, or do i go with two 100 watt heaters, one on each side? As for...

My water changer stinks! I've had it for awhile now and its starting to smell. Can I run something through it to clean it out? I was thinking some vinegar mixed with water. Not sure if it would affect water quality the next time I used it though... Advice please! :thanks:

The rasboras I've had for about 6 months now have started acting strangly... Normally they are fairly calm but all of a sudden they are swimming around very fast and turning upside down under the plant leaves. I know this is a breeding type activity for them but it is the first time I've seen...

I got a couple packs to put in my tank. The card specify "hardy Aponogeton" and "dwarf Lily" Nymphea... Just wondering if anyone has had luck with these or if I wasted my money.

What type of bottom feeders can i put into a 20h? I already have 4 platies in but nothing else. I was thing cory but im not sure how many or even if the tank is big enough.
