Hello, I have a 10 gallon tank, and have been looking into plants for it. These are what's stood out to me so far: Water sprite, and java moss. I thought of floating the water sprite, and using it to replace 2 fake plants I have floating once it gets big enough. I also was considering making a...

You could get a male betta. My favorite varieties are rose, and plakat halfmoon. OR Very possibly you could get a couple of nano fish. But I don't know of any non-schoolers. OR Maybe a tank like your could be a shrimp tank. Cherry and Amano shrimp are the more popular varieties. That's...

Okay. Thanks for the advice. You are right about the filter. This is the first issue I've had with it, thankfully. Unfortunately, I've already bought a year's worth of media which I think I'll use up before switching. Where do you get the foam? Again, thanks!

Oh, fun. It's a canister filter with what was said to be a waterfall... I know this is going to be a stupid question, but do I do the hydrogen peroxide in or out of the tank? Will it harm fish? Or will it harm them not to have a filter for a while?

Hello again. I have noticed this stuff growing on and around my filter recently (See attached pictures). I can't tell what it is, but have a sneaking suspicion that it's mold or fungus (REALLY hoping not). Can someone help me identify and get rid of it? Thanks!

Yes, I am. And okay. Next time I go to the store I'll pick some water sprite up. :D

Okay. Thanks! Will MTS uproot it?

Okay, thanks guys. I brought up duckweed because it is a breeding setup, but I'll go with water sprite then. I have a ten-g tank (overstocked, I know) with 5 guppies, 4 zebras, and 2 neons (soon to be one). The neons' buddies all died.i was hoping to save some fry with the water sprite. My light...

Okay, I'm brand new at live plants, and though I might try water sprite, duckweed, or water lettuce. How do I care for these? How fast do they grow? How big do they get? Etc, etc. thanks!

Okay, thanks. And haha. I feel stupid now.

Okay, thanks. Does it do okay in gravel?

One of my guppies has been exhibiting the same behavior now. I'd guess this is just her normal pregnancy behavior, but her stomach is still tiny.

I have a Tetra LED16-W.

I'll get the name in a moment. (The manuals are sitting around somewhere, but who knows where). Is water sprite low maintenance? And will it die just floating?

Hi, I have a ten gallon 3-or-so month old tank, and have been looking into live plants for a while now. Unfortunately, I have already set it up with gravel and fake plants, and don't really want to switch now. But I've heard people reference floating plants, and was wondering if I could get any...

Oh, wow. Okay. Haha. How should I check the filter for the babies?

UPDATE: Today I looked into the one gallon to find a new addition! I have a bare-bottomed tank with a sponge filter; is it possible that there are more hiding in the sponge filter?

Oh, okay. So my ten gallon with guppies, zebras, and neons is considered nano?

What is the difference between a normal tank and a nano tank? Just curious, if I ever expanded I was considering looking into nanos.

Yes, he did. (Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten them probably.)

Okay. The guy at PetCo was very amusing to me. He just couldn't figure out why in the world I wanted the snails.

Hmmm.. Okay, thanks. I hope the fish don't take a liking to algae wafers, though, haha. Do people buy them much? Okay. And no, I have not. I'm at school from 7:30-6 though, which is an issue. Luckily, I have a long weekend and so I will do that.

Ouch. I'm sorry. I would get loaches to fix that problem, but as I said, I don't have room.

Hmmm, haven't tried. I don't really favor the feeling of being nipped all along my arm as I reach in... Haha. This is what it looks like. It is actually on most of my plants.

About 3 months. Ugh, I can't find my iPod. I'm on my phone now, which doesn't take photos. :(
