Hi. My 2.5 year old live planted Fluval Edge has been experiencing some hairy algae issues. But only on the actual plants. Wondering why this is happening and how I can get rid of it. First time I'm experiencing this. Any info is helpful. I can post pics if it helps. Sent from my iPad using...

Hi, I'm Dan. 33 years old in Brooklyn. Been running a 12 gallon live planted a Fluval Edge. Kept aquariums for a long time but only seriously this last two years. I collect antiques and love music. From classic country to the harshest of noise. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Decided to add some photos of the tank. As you can see in last two pics, the plants are covered in waste and the water is filled with small particles... This is brand new for my tank. Wondering if it is coincidental or resulting in my introducing the catfish. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium...

Hi. So I've had a 12 gal. Fluval edge (live planted) up and running for almost 2 years. Been very lucky. Haven't lost many fish and the tank has remained amazingly clean and clear. I recently added a small spotted catfish (not sure exact species but I can add a photo if needed) because lady at...

Thanks to you guys I've had the best year of aquarium-keeping of my life. I have a 12 gallon Fluval Edge. Right now I have about 5 small tetras, 2 shrimp, be a dwarf pleco. Coming up on one year and have lost very few fish and tank is growing great. I have Anubis, Java ferns, moss, and a few...

Thanks for all the help guys and girls, a lot of good information. I may keep a few but what is your recommendation on getting rid of them? In the words of The Band " wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"... How do I humanely get rid of them? Will they survive in a local pond? Or...

Also if it is a pest snail. Can I leave a few? Or is it harmful to the tank?

thanks for the help guys. Here's a pic!

I have a small tiger striped (I don't know breed=bad dad) and today I noticed at least 3 babies chilling and traveling. Although so small I can't believe how complex they are already. The hid into their clear tiny shell when I came close to the tank! Anyway, what are the odds they will survive...

Thanks a ton. One other quick question. I bought some type of sword plant from the store and when I got home I noticed the roots were growing out of and tangled badly in the little plastic planter. Fearing ripping or destroying the plant I just dropped the whole thing in there. Is that ok?

I just tried adding 3 small shrimp (I believe rock shrimp?) to my seemingly healthy tank. I have 3 healthy neons and a snail. Other than a bit of stringy algae on my wood and plants, all seemed well. The shrimp seemed ok in tank too. They were dead the next morning. So sad. I want to be a good...

Hi, I've asked a few questions on here and have gotten great feedback and advice so thanks in advance! I'm doing a 12 gallon fluval edge planted tank. Up for about a month. Introduced 3 neons last week and all seems well. Getting a tiny bit of hairy looking algae buildup on the heater and was...

How's it doing?

How do you feel the java moss works as far as stabilizing the tank and keeping it clean and safe?

Wow! That's excellent! Love the way it looks. Sounds like I need java moss. How do you grow it on the driftwood?

Also should I be doing water changes while cycling? I'm currently on day 3. 4/5 full tank. Water conditioner in. Nite-out put in day 1and day 3. Some Tetraplant flora pride for the few plants I put in. Tested water yesterday. So far seems on track. I did notice though after I used the tester...

Please do! Can anyone identify the taller plants I've got in the back behind the dwarf hair grass?

You guys rule.
