I currently have a 37g tank with multis. I have 4 that are known sex. 2f and 2m. The other 5 are juvies so too small to sex. I am searching for some sexed females to add to make sure I don't get an over abundance of males. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi guys. So I've always done heavily planted tanks. My 12g I plan to convert over to shellies. My LFS has multis that I want to grab. Currently that tank has a PH of 7.4 kh of 2 and gh of 5. I know it is low and people have suggested crushed coral to me. And another friend is giving me some...

So I got some new blue velvet shrimp at an auction and the bag had sine moss in it. I currently have: rose, willow, Java, subwassertang, and Taiwan so I know it is none of those. I know mosses can also be super hard to identify but here's a picture http://i.imgur.com/fjIgwkg.png I was...

Hi guys. So my aquarium club is going to be having a competition that I am organizing. Basically a planted nano tank of 1g or less. I was wondering if any of you had any pictures of tanks that you wouldn't mind me using as examples! (I would rather ask and get permission rather than just...

Wondering about shrimp interbreeding. Mine are Neos. Where/who did you get yours from? I got mine from htn. I was thinking of getting some darker blues to mix in from somewhere else- do you think that would mess up the strain in they are both blue? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So backstory - I got these guys as chilis (borsera brigattae) from my lfs. I got 4 at first, then 8, then 5. So I now have 17 total. They are the only fish in the tank along with yellow Sakura shrimp. Now- the same lfs has a small display tank with them in there. They are definitely chilis...

Ok guys- I know they take a while to color up especially if you get them really young. I picked up 8 more today to make a total of 12 in with my yellow neo shrimp but wonder an approximate timeline for reds to really pop. The lfs I got them from have some in a display tank that they won't...

I'm pretty positive my bolivian ram has them. I know it is super contagious but I was wonder what have you guys had luck treating them with? I've seen really mixed reviews and the best being on levimasole. Have any of you found this/know where to get it? I've also seen Fenbendazole listed as...

So I am thinking about starting a salt tank. I've been doing research online about the fish I would like to have. The one thing I have seen tons of opinions/differing info is tank sizes needed. The two fish I would be considering would be royal gramma, purple dotty back, and purple fire fish...

Does anyone by chance have pics of their oto when gravid? I can't tell if one of mine is or if it is just fat or has something wrong. She has been staying on my sword plant which is the largest leafed plant in the tank. Everyone else in the tank is fine and is acting ok. Just guppies, Otos, and...

Hi guys- in about a month I am looking to get some blue velvets. I know they are a little harder to find than red cherry but I was wondering if there was anyone who had some for sale or who might in around a month or so and how much it would cost. A friend of mine is also interested so we...

I am pretty sure one of my females is berried! Super exciting - I've googled pics of berried and they match. I know it is around 4 weeks until they hatch but my question comes with egg color. I've seen anywhere from clear, same color as mom, to orange and green. Right now mine look similar to...

Ok- I have hornwort and anacharis in both my tanks. I am looking for another alternative floating plant to hornwort for my guppy fry and my RCS. I find that the hornwort can get really messy and kinda "drops needles" for lack of a better term. I know anacharis doesn't do this but I like having...

So I've been doing water changes the old school way- bucket and sink. We have been discussing getting one of the python water change things. It almost seems too good to be true.... So in all honesty does anyone have any cons with it??! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I have been trying to get my plants to make runners and they have which is awesome. I know you can either leave them on the stalk or cut them and transplant them once they are big enough. I found some runners against the glass but they are still sort of buried in the rocks. My question is...

Hi guys. I have a 55 gallon planted tank that I would like to add a but more color to. Just added a bit of alternanthera reineckii to it but wondering if you guys had any other ideas. Medium light (led daylight and 2 colormax bulbs), we use root tabs, flourish, and flourish excel. My one...

So I had ordered a bunch of dwarf sag (from dallascowboys16 who is awesome for plants btw) and finally got around to putting it all down and rearranging everything. Before our hornwort was out of control and I just had moss chunks everywhere. I gathered the moss and used seachems new any glue to...

So in my planted 55 gal we have a rather destructive pleco who is mowing down my sword. It makes me sad. I am pretty positive it is him because the holes are v shaped when they start. I wondered about deficiencies but I think I am ok. We use flourish, flourish excel, and root tabs under each of...

So I got this coupon code in my email. No don't really use them for my fish but sometimes supplies and tanks. Just figured I would pass this along in case anyone was placing and order for supplies and didn't get it In case it doesn't load/is hard to read the code is stockup Sent from my...

Hi guys! I just picked up 2 bamboo shrimp. I was wondering of there are any ways to sex them? And other than them hiding is there a way to tell they are about to molt? I just acclimated and added ours today. Both are fanning/feeding and seem to be doing well- I've read a lot hide for a while...

Has anyone seen any good sales?? I didn't see another thread for this yet- if there is another feel free to remove this post I just figured some of us might have noticed some good sales- why not pass them on?? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So we just upgraded our 12g guppy tank up to a 20g long. When we switched them over we went to black diamond blasting sand. Everyone seems to be doing well so far :) probably going to do some moving of plants. (Some are borrowed from our big tank to make the tank cycle faster. Our small tank...

So our little guppy tank (eclipse system 12) started leaking a little bit. My husband and I agree we should get a new one anyways and upgrade to like a 20g. No biggie. Here is where our dilemma and creative peoples' help will come in. The current tank doesn't have a HOB filter. It is attached...

One of my anubias is having some issues. :( the rhizome looks like it is rotting away :( So it is in my 55g. Ammonia and nitrite 0. Nitrate was 30 and ph 7.4 I use the seachem flourish root tabs. The package says replace every 3 months. It hadn't quite been that long but I added another one...

So we have a tank. It is older and established. Other than a slight nitrate (40-60ish) problem everything was good until today. I checked the tank parameters today (tomorrow is water change day) and I noticed the ammonia is at .5pm We had a snail die overnight which is what prompted me to...
