I went to a big well know chainstore with my girlfriend and they have a lot of arts, crafts, decorations, etc. They had these really cool pieces of decorative wood called grapewood, like the one shown in the pic. I touched it and it has a wood smell, wood texture so I guess it's real wood. It...

Is there any tall, "grass looking" plants that are very low maintenance, low to medium light? I'm producing about 1.3 watts per gallon dosing liquid CO2 and Iron only. EDIT: I forgot, for substrate I have pool fliter sand.

I have a low-light setup in my 20 gal tank right now, about 1.3wpg. What I was thinking is running some sort of DIY CO2 or one of those cheap reactor+diffuser systems for a while just to get some good growth, help me with spreading my bacopa carolinensis into a good mat and overpower any algae...

I'm talking about your standard maggot that can be found in fruits, biscuits, etc. Has anyone feed or feeds their fish with these? Do you reccomend it or not?

This is my 20 gal project. My first try at cichlids. It's a work in progress. Right now the stock is a bolivian ram pair and 5 banded kuhli loaches. May get some zebra danios later because I can't have a tank without zebras which are my fav freshwater wish. These...

I have a 20 high with two bolivian rams in it, which are still spooked silly since I put them in 2 days ago. They haven't eaten yet and are pale. I was wondering if this light: Aqueon® Mini Compact 50/50 Fluorescent Lamp - Lighting & Hoods - Fish - PetSmart, which is the one in my tank is too...

I may change to pool filter sand in my 5 gal betta tank in the next days but I have some questions about my plants. I have 1 java fern Anacharis stems (planted in the gravel) Elodea stems (floating) Question is, will the anacharis and the elodea plants do well with the sand? Also the 5 gal was...

I didn't know exactly where to put this story but I think everybody in this hobby needs to know there is a tank that probably has the record for the most retarded, impossible overstocking in the history of the hobby and I saw it today. I made a friend who lives nearby my new apartment that...

Yesterday I bought my betta Orion some new friends, 4 ghost shrimp. My current stock in this 5 gal is the betta, 1 nerite snail and the 4 ghost shrimp. I put the shrimp yesterday night and they haven't come out of their little cave yet. one of them came out, took a piece of an algae tablet and...

So tl;dr I need fishes that could do well in warm water, doesn't need the aquarium planted at all and are apt for a 20 high. Thanks. EDITED: Made the long story short to attract more readers lol.

Hi. I'm about to setup my 20 gal high. It's going to have a tetra advance filter rated 30-60 gal, and pool filter sand. I have an idea for stocking which I put in that aqadvisor website and it came out good. So far what I want is: 1 dwarf gourami 5 kuhli loaches 8 harlequin rasboras Even...

I recently got into this wonderful hobby again and am about to pull out my 44 gal. So if some of could give me some stocking ideas for it would be awesome. I've always had this kind of corny inclination to put species that come from the same region or country but I've done that so many times I'm...

I'm sorry if this was posted elsewhere before but I've always have this doubt. From you guy's experience, where does the anacharis plant thrive better, anchored to the gravel like a normal plant or left floating in the water? I ask cause in my previous tanks I left it floating and for some...

Hello there, my name is Jose. I am not-so-new member of the aquarium enthusiast world. I used to have a 20 gal community tank, a 44 gal with a pair of clown loaches, a saltwater tank with mostly invertebrates and TONS of betta tanks over the years. Almost everything, except my 20 gal tank, two...
