    Java vs. Fontinalis

    Hi all, I've been growing these two types of moss for a while, but to be honest, they look kind of the same - sometimes the font. look sbushier but that could just be growing conditions. Can anyone suggest what differences there might be - I can't make out anything that distinguishes them. This...

    Bolivian Ram question

    I have a pair who have bred only once - the rest of the time they often act like they hate each other - 'bickering' a lot, but have never done any damage. The male is usually dominant, but occasionally the female is the bully, and sometimes they act friendly; sometimes ignore each other. There...

    bugs in my tank

    The 'bugs' I have heard of that you are likely to get in an aquarium are harmless, but it would be hard to ID what you have from the description.

    Corydoras and gravel

    I don't think they really dig down into the substrate, more just snuffle around on the surface of it; although I've only kept them on gravel, so maybe it's because they they can't dig into that.

    Thinking About First Fish

    I would say guppies would get a bit lost in a tank that size - I mean visually, not literally. Angel fish are more the right sort of scale (I think a small group might work better, but I don't keep them). Catfish too, although they come in many species of different sizes.

    Laterite, bentonite...subtrate questions

    Thanks 247, so it sounds like they are very different. I've looked at this old thread (among others), which does refer to the idea of cat litter made from laterite (although inconclusively). btw I know nothing about geology.
