    Filter capacity

    I was using AqAdvisor to determine my tank's stocked status. I was wondering if the filter capacity isn't as important if the tank is well planted.

    Just realized one of my bronze 'corys' is an emerald catfish

    I have a 20 gallon long planted tank. It's currently stocked with 1 dwarf gourami, 6 platys, 4 bronze corys, and what I just found out to be 1 emerald catfish :facepalm:. The emerald has been hiding the whole time and has been extremely panicked when he is out. I added more things to hide...

    Dwarf Gourami successes?

    There are plenty of threads about DGs getting sick or even dying. Has anyone had prolonged success with these beautiful fish or is the US aquarium stock all sick?:fish2:

    Tank stocking question

    I currently have a 20 gallon long planted tank with 6 platys and 5 corys. Everyone gets along and the tank has been established for a month and a half now. I did have a dwarf gourami when I started the tank which died very quickly of unknown causes. In any case one of my friends has a female...

    Rock vs. driftwood

    I have sand as substrate and have a few plants. I'm looking to give the fish some extra hiding spots. Do you prefer driftwood or rocks? Also do you know of any reasonably priced online vendors?

    Java fern propogation

    I've noticed quite a few of the leaf ends, on the java fern, sprout roots and in some cases new leaves. What's the best course of action if I want to have more java fern in my tank?

    New cory not adjusting well

    Hello, I have a 20gallon planted tank with 4 corys and 6 platys. I wanted to add a cory figuring, the more the merrier. Anyways, I came home today to that new cory missing. I looked around for a while until I realized he was in my java fern leaves. He's up in there and pretty much refuses to...

    How long does it take to know if your plants are doing well?

    I am very new to planted tanks and have a 20 gallon with beginner plants. My main question is how long does it take for 'unhappy' plants to show their distress and what are some danger signs to look for. I have java fern, one anubias, and a few crypts.

    Plant received for dwarf gourami (Plant ID)

    I recently planted my tank and my dwarf gourami started acting weird by hanging out at the bottom of the tank. I checked water quality and everything was perfect. I headed to my local fish store and asked them for some advice. They gave me some plants to throw into the tank to try and see if it...
