Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello everyone, I just came home and discovered that one of my Red -Eyed Tetras was missing an eye. His/her other eye looked weird as well. The only culprit I can find is an agressive Penguin tetra that i've had for over 2 years. I have a 40 gallon planted tank. Inhabitants are 3 Peppered...

Hello Everyone. As the title states MTS (Malaysian Trumpet Snails) are destroying my plants. They were co-existing with them for almost a year. In the last month or so they have been eating away my plants. 40 gl. breeder 6 Red Eye Tetras 3 Otos 3 Pepper Cories Lighting; 2.5 wpg...

Hello everyone, my old fixture finally stopped working after I accidently dropped it. I have been looking for a new fixture for my tank. I have a 40 gal breeder and it has been difficult finding one that fits my tank. I have been looking at this one for a while. It is a Power Compact 36"...

bump anyone? please....

... Len thanks for the reply. Here is some more tank info. I have a 40 gal. breeder, 6 red eye tetras, 6 penguin tetras, 3 otos and 3 pepper cories. I have a pretty decent amount of java fern. Two small bunches of anubias. Overall, not much plants. How much dosage should i start with for a...

Hello everyone, I have been thinking of upgrading my lighting system from 1 wpg to about 2.5-2.7 wpg. My question is, do i need to add co2 to my tank? I have anacharis, java ferns (exploding like crazy) and anubias (growing at normal rate). Can I get away with just adding fertilizers...

So I walk into a LFS that was highly recomended by a friend because of their plant selection, big mistake. I knew it was a bad sign As I walked in and noticed the owner stare me down as if I was going to run off with someting. Anyways I saw 2 of the most ugliest sights a fish lover could...

Hello everyone, can someone tell me how to properly "trim" my ANAcharis? It has grown long enough, not to mention plenty of stems as well. I want to trim it and tie the trimed parts together to form another small bunch. Thanks in Advance

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the price range is for Anubius nana. I have seen it at only one LFS in Los Angeles. I sawe the price marked at $9.99 and thought about getting it since all their plants there looked real good. Anyone care to give me any ideas? I've seen them on...

oto rcaterin1 She doesn't blanch the spinich before feeding because her otos prefer the spinach as fresh as possible. Try it that way, she's had them for 8 months and they are going strong!

Otos My girlfriends otos love spinach, in fact they eat it more than algae. Is this normal? Her otos love the spinach as fresh as possible, they stop eating it when it becomes too soft. Anyways, from what i remember her otos will eat spinach, zucchini, and potatoes. They wont go near the algae...

hellom everyone, I have a quick question. Can Amazon swords survive and grow in a 1wpg setting? I was told it was possible at my lfs and since it was only $2.99 I almost went for it. If it can, I'll pick one up tonight! Anyone know about any of these plants? They both look okay, i couldnt...

Hello everyone i was wondering if anubias and anachris can live and grow in common gravel. Ive had both in my tank for about a month and both have rooted well in the gravel. Also will they eventually need fertilizer? running 1 wpg currently. Thank You

Interesting, a couple of weeks ago I posted a similar case. My girlfriend purchased 6 ottos and after 6 months the biggest one had a white spot on his/her head and could not swim correctly. It died 3 or 4 days after we noticed it. I wonder if ottos do get the hole in the head disease. Anyone...

Hello everyone, i was wondering if tetras eat any sort of veggies. I have 6 red eyed and 6 penguin tetras with 2 cories in a 40 gal breeder. I feed the tetras flakes, blood worms and brine shrimp. I would like to mix in some greens in there. I've tried to do some research on this but can't find...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if any of this light setup would be good for a planted tank. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/for/118654040.html I current ly run 2 20 watt bulbs and I am curious if this is an improvement to what i have. Thanks

Hello everyone. One of my girlfriend's otos is sick. It seems to swim vertically at all time. He swims with one fin, the other fin looks okay with no visible injury. The most visible thing is that he has a white spot on his head. I dont think it is ich because it is way bigger than a grain of...

Im not having trouble with the setup, but thanks for asking. I actually was talking about the instructions on how to make my own "brew." Can you hook me up?

Well actually it was $35 after taxes, I've seen alot of them cheaper online but never in any of the LFS. I guess that is why my girlfriend got it for me. It has the diffusion pump that attaches perfectly to my tank (via suction cups) and a funny looking water bootle thingy that will work...
