Limnophila aromatica Ludwigia inclinata var. verticillata Pogostemon stellatus Um. How the heck do I differentiate these three species? :confused:

So I see the default mixing and dosing, but I'm curious if there's any tweaks ya'll have made to the formula. Such as separating some of the substances from the main mixture, or increasing/decreasing some of the dosages. Please also specify your tank size, what type of plants you're growing...

I was going to post this to the general section, but felt it more specific to planted tanks. Catching anything in my tank seems like an effort in futility without uprooting plants. I have four rather large pearl danios that I would like to replace, as they're gluttonous jerks that like to...

I spent the day at Schlitterbaun, a water park in New Braunfels, TX, that is along the Comal River. While floating down the river my aquarist mind kicked in when I saw masses of plants in the water and thought, "ooh, I wonder if that would be OK in my tank?" I managed to leave the park with a...

Either prepared or packaged food, what do your fish go nuts for? I thought mine were crazy about Fluval brand cichlid pellets, or simple algae wafers. Oh no! It's *this* stuff everyone goes batty for! It smells like the nasty stuff I used to catch monster catfish with, so it's not surprising...

...if you've ordered snails online, where? And what was your experience? I'm looking to add some "exotic" looking nerites. Possibly others that do not readily breed. I had nearly a hundred that burrowed in my salt water tank, but that was a *totally* different beast. Sent from my...

If I were to setup another tank, it would be something shallow with a large footprint. That way I could keep a large collection of kitties. I'm loving my corys. I'm especially fond of serbai. Which do you have? Which do you wish you had? I have green and serbai corys, and a synodontis nigri...

8 cups of water 2 cups of granulated sugar 1 teaspoon of dry yeast 1 two liter Coke bottle (reactor) 1 one liter Coke bottle (bubble counter, yeast runoff collector) 1 inline check valve 1 inline shutoff valve 1 glass and ceramic CO2 diffuser Several feet of silicon tubing 3/16 drill bit...

My sister can get a gallon of Procide for about $32 (from her dental supplier). I won't know the specific concentration until Thursday. I've found a gallon of 1.8% Metricide for about $20-30, not including shipping, and most places have a minimum on the number of bottles (4+), putting the total...

How do you folks approach your trimming of stem plants? The ones that grow ridiculously fast? I have something that grows about 12" every week. Initially I was cutting it in half, trimming the lower leaves, and planting the trimming in order to fill in the space. It's gotten so dense that I've...

So, my tank has been up for almost three months (maybe longer, time flies), and nitrates are always zero. Even if I feed a bunch. Plants all look "fine", but I'm guessing they could use some more nitrates. I dose the following: Glut 0.5mL/ga/day Flourish 1mL/ga/every couple days Phosphorus...

I have a GH and KH are both 14-15. I have dwarf gourami, danios, neon tetras, blue rams, and corys. Read that most of these fish like it best under 12. What are the consequences to fish with stats this high? Everyone seems to be happy... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice...

One means of identification is their dorsal (top) fin. For males, the tip near the tail fin is pointed, and extends back past where the tail begins. On females, the dorsal fin is rounded, and ends before the tail fin. Similar to rams. Females also generally have larger abdomen as well...

Which tools do you use when pruning your plants? Where did you buy them? Amazon, Home Depot, LFS? Like a pair of metzenbaum scissors? Curved? Is there a particular pair of tweezers or tongs you've grown accustomed to? Is a certain tool better for stems vs. plants that come in small bundles...

If you have organic soil under your substrate, make sure you poke it with a spike, preferably one of those grill forks. That will release any gas pockets from the decaying matter in your soil. It will prevent the build up that caused this to happen! :eek: :banghead: :facepalm: Just finished...

This is my favorite "small" plant, due to its leaf shape primarily. Should it be: Planted? Mounted to driftwood? Both? What are its best ferts? I have bottles of macros, iron, potassium, and phosphate. Anything else I should get? I know it loves high PAR, since it's a short plant. I have the...

What luck have you folks had with this plant? The submerged form doesn't appear to be anywhere near as awesome as its partially submerged with its red blossoms... Hoping I can at least get some purple leaf growth if conditions are right. Just got a TopFin packet of it, will post a pic later...

From what I've read, it seems I managed to pick up four females. Their anal fins are all short of the tailfin, rounded, dorsal fins are also uniform and rounded. They're also pretty young. The other three are slightly smaller than this one, and they all generally get along without bothering...

How does high lighting affect most low light or medium light plants? I have mostly high or medium-high plants, but a few lower light plants. I've read it can bleach out plants (turn them white ish), or kill them entirely, or even case their growth to explode... Are there methods (other than...

So I've had my tank setup for about six or so weeks, and I have 20 lbs of potting mix under black tahitian sand. It has been releasing one or two bubbles at a time, from about five or six spots, a different spot every minute or so. Today isn't the first day it has released bubbles, but is the...

Anyone kept these before? Are they as hostile as they're made out to be? Ever attempted to keep them in a community tank? Buy Live Nyererei "Makobe Island" "Super Red" Pundamilia nyererei

I plan to add three ladies for my male DG. Could I get three different types? Such as any mix of three of the following: Regular Cobalt Blue Neon Blue Fire Red Also, has anyone kept three males and five females in a single tank? *Edit: Also, how well do different types of males mix? :thanks:

No wonder we don't do it. It's virtually unfeasible for the typical consumer. OPTIMIZATION OF THE REGENERATION PROCEDURE FOR GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON (122 Pages) :huh: :facepalm:

...And not listen to the fish store folks, and put two almost adult sized dwarf gourami in a five gallon tank. "Sure, they should get along fine!" Nope! The other one pestered it relentlessly. It was forced to the smallest corner of the hex, and was snapped at by the other one anytime he tried...
