I have some swordtails that are getting close to giving birth. Last time, I didn't have a chance to move them and they had the babies. I don't wanna miss it this time, and I have a 10 gallon tank for them to have the babies in. I don't want to stress them out and have them die/prematurely have...

I have a 10 gallon tank with a HOB filter for future fry. However, I dislike the noise of it. I was thinking of filling the whole tank with hornwort, elodea, and other fast growers and getting rid of the filter. If this isn't a possibility, I'll definitely continue to use the filter, but if this...

I finally got around to buying new lights. I purchased the Finnex Planted+ 24/7. Now the thing I'm really wondering is if the 24/7 mode can be useful at all. I know the PAR peaks for only around 3 hours, but I also enjoy some of the colors it gives. Would I be better off just keeping it on max...

I know this gets asked a lot, but I'm just really anxious to get into breeding lol. It looks like it's close, but not quite there. I'm just not sure, though; it seems to look different everytime. Thank you.

What should I do with the culled? I know it sounds bad, but should I put them in my main tank? They'll be eaten there. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

In my RCS tank, the majority of the newest generation are clear. Some are red, and some even brownish. Substrate is black, I do water changes. What should I do? Nobody will buy these clear shrimp, and I'm not such a fan of them either. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Nitrite levels? When you say ammonia is ok, does that mean 0? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yes, I'll definitely do that either sometime later today or tomorrow morning. I'm really busy today so I'll post whenever I can. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have made an interesting observation regarding the growth of Ludwigia in an outdoor setup. The growth outside in medium shade is drastically different than the growth in my tanks indoors. This occurred after the plants died off outside; I didn't think they'd ever come back. The Bacopa also has...

It looks more orange than red. It's a standard 55 gallon so 21 inches high. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have tube lighting over my 55 gallon. Plant growth has been decent, but one of my bulbs broke in an accident a few months ago. Ever since, I have been using a 4100k cool white bulb and the other three are 6500k. Apart from the look that I'm not sure I'm so keen on, would I achieve greater...

Wouldn't add another angel, but maybe a schooling fish that could avoid the Angels' harassment. I'm not sure how that'd work out with the crayfish, though. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Go with shrimp and just use a small sponge filter. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Keeping just one gourami is probably best. Also, plants should do ok in gravel, especially with the use of root tabs. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Would using a divider be a workaround for this? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Would it be possible to breed black skirt tetras in my shrimp tank? I'm worried about the tetras eating the shrimp/shrimplets. The shrimp tank is a 55 gallon filled near halfway. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Mostly depends on bioload and if your tank is planted. Filtration doesn't give new water, though. Water changes are the only way to do that. A good starting point would be 25% a week. High nitrates indicate a need for bigger or more frequent water changes. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

More neons, they like to be in groups of 6+

No I never pour back in the tank. No symptoms that I can see. They act normal and the next time I look they're dead. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Has anyone ever done a tank with only one or two types of plants? I'd love to see some pics. I just took out a ton of plants in my 55 and am going to grow them outside during the summer. I left dwarf sag and vallisneria and am going to fill the back with the vals and the rest of the substrate...

I'll do a really large water change and yes I do weekly water changes. Also, the fish were added about 2 months ago and this recently started happening. I'll see if anything changed with the water. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Also, no signs of external parasites or ich. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello. In my 55g planted tank, I've been having lots of fish deaths. My tank has been lowered from 12 fish to 4 fish in the matter of a few weeks. The tank was cycled before adding fish, parameters were good as of a few days ago but my API tubes broke in an accident (ordered more, should be...

Ludwigia Broad Leaf, dwarf sag. I love the shape of the leaves of that particular ludwigia and the dwarf sag makes a nice forest carpet. I love the look of Indian red swords, but mine is just stunted and won't grow well. That's my fault, tho because i kept it in awful conditions for so long...

Most bacteria is in the filter, but it might have some impact on your cycle. I recommend not changing all of it at one time, though. When I did that, I stirred something up and my fish died.
