    Java ferns attachment?

    I have a plastic rock that I bought from LFS awhile back, the tank in question has always been artificial 10 gallon. Contains Tiger barbs/black skirts. I've recently did a salvage job on my bedroom tank to get what was left of my plants. I then move them to this other 10 gallon with the...

    Plants and ICK question..

    All my fish are dead and my plants slowly dying. My last fish died some where around saturday and monday. I've been running the temps at 86-95F for this whole week. How long before I can move the plants to another tank with life without infecting it with ick?

    Whoops... ICK!

    What about my plants? I can't simply move them to another tank without infecting it with ick. I'm baffled on what kills a betta in 6 hours that didn't exhibit signs of problems.

    TOTAL LOST! The betta has died, leaving me with 2 serpaes. One of them are in a free float *swim bladder gone* so Thats the end of that one. What went so wrong, its only been 4 days since I started the treatment. I maintained 86-88F did 25% water changes with dechlor every other day. None of...

    Whoops... ICK!

    I lost my last flame tetra. :( Damn the holidays! I went 1 1/2 degree up every 6 hours until I hit 86-88. I can't do 50% PWC might stress my fish more, I can do 25% which is what they are comfortable with. I just did one a few minutes ago, after I cleaned up the dead body. Keep you updated.

    Whoops... ICK!

    WHAT THE HELL I must have gotten the worst ick ever. I've lost a flame tetra and a serpae. My second flame tetra is suffering the same symptoms as the first one. Starts out as ick then he starts ballooning, then starts a swim bladder problem and finally death. My serpae was fine then after...

    My betta is a balloon...

    I'm not kidding... Started about 2 weeks ago, I noticed him to be a bit swollen in the abdomen area, But I figured He was constipated. So I stop feeding him because I went out of town for about about 3 days. Came back still a bit swollen I figured it would go away because it had not increased...

    Complaints about the site...

    Maybe I forgot to tell you that I'm only having an issue with this site only. If it were several other sites I would have connected the dots and would not have posted. But since its only this one I can see why you would like to pin the blame on the user instead of something else. Another thing...

    Java ferns in sand... OOPS! maybe?

    Well tonight Just bought some java ferns from petsmart for my bedroom tank. The 10 gallon has a sand substrate, and I'm reading a Drs. Foster and Smith Catalog *right now*. Turns out They should never be planted in sand. So now what? Have I render myself useless for all plants because I use a...

    Complaints about the site...

    Its about the site well more like your server. It seems to be very unresponsive at times. Most of the time it doesn't load but gives me a nice white background of the browser. Sometimes it takes about a good 5 minutes before the site loads, other times its some of the site loads but then dies in...

    Grav-vac problem...

    Well the python itself is 50ft. I have to go through one room to get to my bedroom from the kitchen. I have to go through the dining room to get to the other 10 gallon 44 and 29 gallon setups. Remember I live in florida so I'm near sea level. The only reason I'm looking for a better solution...

    Grav-vac problem...

    Basically I can't clean the surface of the sand in my bedroom tank with the goddamn python. I don't have enough suction to pick up the weight of sand or debris/decay for that matter. It worse for big tanks too which explains why I'm having so many problems. But it works decently for a small 10...

    Rabid Flame Tetra?

    Well my 44 gallon is understock less then a dozen along with 2 emerald green corys. But I don't want to see my guppies' fins shredded to pieces. I should have never bought serpaes in the first place if I had known they were going to be aggressive towards other fish. The other 10 gallon has 4...

    "Very Low" Light plants.

    Is there another site that I can order or buy plants other than aquabid, becuase most of them are outside of the states. I'm a beginner, so maybe you can tell me whats best for a 10 gal with a 15watt lighting?
