    Need advice on guppies please

    Fishless cycle ammonia

    If your not going to use seeded media, the only other thing that will speed up the process is to crank the heat up in the mid 80's.

    Red Cherry Shrimp Problems

    I did see your bio and it didnt answer either question i asked about how long the tank has been up and running(other than recently) or how you cycled it. Recently could be a week or three months. If its been a week, its not cycled at all. Three months, maybe or maybe not. Just asking questions...

    Red Cherry Shrimp Problems

    Rcs are very sensitive to ammonia and nitrite levels. There are no "safe parameters" other than zero for these. How long has this aquarium been up and running? How did you cycle it? We need some kind of info to help you further.

    Red Cherry Shrimp Problems

    What are the tankmates? What kind of filter? Sponge prefilter? Are they hiding? I have a rcs only tank and its amazing how many are in there but you cant see them. A pic of ur setup might help.

    Red Cherry Shrimp Problems

    I would first start by checking any food/chemicals put in the tank for copper in the ingredients.

    Should have done my homework

    So i went shopping for some low light plants yesterday. Had a few things in mind and ended up with some dwarf sag and crypt wendtii, along with a brazilian sword. Didnt know anything of the sword, but i figured what the heck, probably just like an amazon sword right? Wrong apparently. Appears...

    Ethics and the hobby

    I dont think anything you've said is offensive, its just information. I know nothing of the origin of saltwater (or freshwater) fauna, but assuming your correct in what you say, its very interesting knowledge to have. Im on this forum everyday or searching google for something aquarium related...

    Sick of people

    It must be ethics night here at AA. I just replied to another thread on the ethics surrounding our hobby. I just saw on the news that here in baltimore, md(where i live) a cop slit the throat of a stray dog. They caught the dog with one of those poles with a loop on the end, then AFTER the dog...

    Ethics and the hobby

    I believe our hobby can be beneficial as well. In my case i started in the hobby to have a fish tank for my kids, as my father did for me. It instilled a sense of respect and awe for nature and animals that i carry to this day. I hope the same is true for my daughters. I see the point that...

    Anacharis to add some height would be good

    Rate my set up

    Looks like stonehenge in the sahara. Too "calculated" in my opinion. Like the rocks, just more natural and random. And definitely plants.

    Poor growth... Any ideas
