Hi guys! I have a 1.5 gal that I used for a hospital tank when one of my fish got sick and it was the only thing I could get on that short notice. I know nothing about shrimp, but I was thinking about maybe using the 1.5 for shrimp. Would that work? Also, can anyone point me in the right...

Hey! I have a 30 gallon planted tank. I'm thinking about doing a carpet in the open area in the middle of the front. I've tried DHG in the past, and it did really well, but it grew upward and didn't really spread out nicely. Then I couldn't really save any through tearing down the tank :( Do...

Hi. So I have had plants in my tank for almost a year, and I just got 5 Julii cories. They were happy and swimming in the bag, I floated the bag for 20 minutes, and as soon as I opened the bag, they swam out and kind of sank to the bottom and turned on their sides. So I took them out as soon as...

Hey guys. I have a 30 gallon, and it had a ton of plants in it, but there was tons of algae. So I took the plants out, and I removed all of the algae from both the plants and the tank (treated the empty tank and substrate with some algaecide just in case). I'm going to put the plants back in...

Hi everyone! Last week, I lost a Platy. She had been bullied a lot, so I figured it was just a result of that. Today, I lost another, so I tested the water, and found that I had a pH/KH crash. pH KH None of the other fish seem affected, and the now-deceased fish seemed fine before they...

Hi! I had a problem with algae growth in my tank, so I bought an Oto. Well within two or three days, it appears that he has eaten most of the algae. I know there might be some hidden in places that I can't see it, but I'm worried that he might run out of algae. He has shown no interest in algae...
