What are some floating plants you guys keep? I know there are tons out there. Doesn't have to be a "floating plant" it can be a plant that can be floated as well. I would like to see what you guys have! I have the inevitable duckweed, as well as water lettuce, salvania, and Phyllanthus...

Does anyone know what this is going to be like? Like features, customizability etc. is it stronger than the standard planted+? That's what I currently have and don't need and higher of light. Anyway I'm thinking about pre ordering it. Is it as programable as it seems? I would like to know if...

What are some good plants that will easily grow up and out of the water? I am thinking about setting up my Betta this week and I would like that to be the theme. It will be a 10 gal but not all the way full. So there is room for emersed growth. On another totally different topic (don't want...

I was wanting several stems of rotala Indica for my tank. Scientific name Ammania sp. Bonsai. Hope someone on here has some!!! Here's a pic of the plant I want as the name has been used to refer to a couple of variants. http://i.imgur.com/fJ111Wq.jpg 29g Community 3g Betta

I have finally decided to upgrade my Betta tank. I was thinking a 10g. And I want to go more "biotope" with this one. Similar to a bettas natural habitat but doesn't have to be exact. I know my half moon isn't a wild variety but I'd like to give him such. Any suggestion on how to do this? I...

I would like to add a tankmate or two to my Betta tank. It's a 3 gallon. Ammonia 0 nitrIte 0 nitrAte 10 There is a small amount of algae. No problem for me or anything but it made me think of a snail. I don't test my ph but idk if that matters. I was wondering if a Betta would bother a nerite...

I rearranged a few things in my tank and want to add some plants. I want to eventually feel that there is enough plant cover so that I can remove the water lettuce because I'm tired of them. A few suggestions needed... What would you put on Green? What would you put on Red? Or continue...

I got this tank from a friend. I calculated it to 3g. It's like those little cheapo ones from pet smart but a little deeper no idea where he got it, anyway. Is this alright for my Betta? He's been in there for a few months. 2x 75% water change weekly. The reason I am wondering is there is a...

I'm not liking how the tank looks and want to rearrange the driftwood but preferably as few plants as possible as it stresses them. Here are some pics. I would like to move the wood maybe some rocks. Need suggestion. I'm stumped. 29g Community 3g Betta

My jungle Val is sending off runners and new little plants are showing up. Should I cut and replant or leave it? And if I cut it will another plant grow on the runner or will it just fall off? I love my fish!!!

I recently got an ozelot sword. 1. Has anyone ever seen these? I loved how it looked and had no idea it was a sword. 2. Do swords usually sprout new leaves by "bursting" forth from the center? I love my fish!!!

Took a nice walk on the beach with my girlfriend today. We saw a ton of cool stuff. No idea what any of it is but it is still amazing. Thought I might as well share :) I love my fish!!!

After many weeks of debate, I am finally refining my diamond tetras. They are too aggressive for my tank. I thought they had finally chilled out until I caught one of them today chasing one of my otos and he took a chunk out of his tail fin!!!! NO! That's the last straw. Bye bye diamond tetras...

I really like the look of leaf litter in the aquarium. It look really natural and provides hiding spots for many creatures. For me it's mostly aesthetics but I think my kuhlis would love it!! Are there any adverse effects to using leaves? Most people use Indian almond leaves, can you use...

Just picked this up today when getting more food. It was on sale for 2.99 labeled as "Betta plant" which is ridiculous and just a commercial name but I though I'de give them a try because it looked like a meet little plant. Pic I love my fish!!!

I know this is an aquatic animal section on an aquarium forum but anyone on here know anything about planted vivariums? I have an exoterra with a whites tree frog and he is awesome! Tons of personality and starts croaking when he sees the cricket container coming. It's time I get him off of...

I'm fairly new to planted tanks and was wondering if there were any pointers anyone could give me to make my tank have a better "flow" or a more natural look. Constructive criticism needed! Anything you would add or move. It's a 29g Finnex planted+ Dosing flourish comp and API leaf zone...

What is a good hardy background plant for medium lighting, and root tabs if necessary? Good foreground plant, maybe something that spreads? Not a carpet but just has runners or something. Also medium light. I love my fish!!!

I've had my dwarf gourami for over a year now and for the past few days he hasn't been acting right. He just sits in the corner all the way at the bottom, all day. He's very lethargic except when I feed. And he seems really bloated just today. Just put him in my quarantine tank. Hope I can...

I want to sell my Finnex planted plus 20", got a bigger tank right after buying the light, so it doesn't fit. it's barely used. $50 I love my fish!!!

When I got a few otos the other day from my lfs there was a little plantlet floating in the water they were in. Thought it was just a stem but it had roots. So I planted it in my little 2.5 to see what it does. I love my fish!!!

Just bought three oto catfish and they are AMAZING little algae eating machines. They have already cleaned like half of the leaves in my 30 gal. Anyone thinking about them for algae prevention they are it! And they are cute! I love my fish!!!
