    Aesthetic Question

    Respectfully disagree. :) I like the idea, although keep an eye on your stocking level. They are similar in size and behaviour, but contrasting shape and colour. I doubt you'll see much difference in terms of what part of the tank they occupy.

    About Blyxa japonica and runners...

    Thanks sepehr - I'll take your word for it that the plants in those photos are correctly IDed; when I googled Echinodorus quadricostatus I got this plant, but others as well. That does look like what I have, and certainly the runners are very similar, which was the subject of my original question.

    NEED help with my new Guppies please!!!!!!

    Tiger barbs are well-known to be fin-nippers, and gouramis can be territorial - hard to tell without knowing the species, but I'm guessing dwarfs. I would suggest you return the tiger barb and the aggressive gourami to the store where you bought them and, if possible, tell the person you bought...

    A video I just made. Fish vs Laser

    Ha! I tried this just the other day. I was trying to give my cat some exercise, but the fish were more interested. Love the dog and cat action. [And Gorillaz]

    About Blyxa japonica and runners...

    Thanks londonloco, that's interesting and I will consider this method with my next tank. sepehr, I don't know - when I google E. quadricostatus, most of the photos show a leaf that starts off as a narrow stem, then broaden out quite a lot before narrowing back to a point; whereas photos of...

    Faucet question

    Maybe I've missed something, but why not just refill the tank slowly with cold water so that the aquarium heater(s) can maintain the temperature within a couple of degrees of their set temp?

    About Blyxa japonica and runners...

    It does look like dwarf sag. I'll have to look into mineralised soil (to be honest, not sure what it is). I've used composted manure and potting mix topped with sand in another tank, and that seems to work fine, although I've run that as a low-light tank, so plant growth has been fairly modest...

    Pale Bolivian Rams?

    Jannika, hope you get it sorted out. Best solution other than more space is breaking up the space in the aquarium with wood etc. so they see each other less and can define their own little territories.

    About Blyxa japonica and runners...

    Not Blyxa! Thanks so much for the replies, guys. londonloco, seeing those photos has jogged my memory - I think I have had that plant before, and what I have now is not it. Here are some photos - they are not very good, I know. I've been experimenting in this tank with inserting small...

    New critters, how to care for them..?

    Another problem with releasing fish into the wild, even if they were wild caught originally, is that you may be introducing them into an area where the don't occur naturally; if they survive and breed they may damage the local ecosystem and put native species at risk.
