They're more expensive and I don't find them pleasing to look at, but what ever floats your boat. Natural plants have benefits though. They use nitrate and other potentially toxic chemicals as a food and help oxygenate the water in your tank. The small insuforia that live around all plants...

I really like the look of floating water sprite and it grows easily. I would suggest small swords, hornwort, java moss, java fern, anachris, or money wort. They're all easy to care for if you give them enough light. If you have a incandesant hood you can buy some spiral flourescant bulbs...

Nah, the plants I have in ther are pretty easy to grow. I just dose with Flourish Excell every other day and an add 1ml after water changes, and with Flourish once a week. I suspect the moss and sprite will grow like weeds.

I bought a similar speciman as the one you have, I got lucky and it was rath timid. When I returned it to the store one of the remaining shrimp was munching on a still live clown loach.

Finally found someone in town that grows java moss, so I got a handful of it, some watersprite, and 30lbs of Denver granite ($3.20 from my local landscaping supply store :clap: ) and redid the whole 20 gallon. The betta tank got leftovers. Old 20gal setup New setup Close up of...

Like an 1" with legs extended. Half that just sitting around.

Those look like prawns....

What was that?

A pair of german rams will do nicely with 3 or 4 cory cats.

I've always wonder this.... Since you're putting tap water with cholorine into your tank... you just dose the tank with a conditioner?

The tank size was a guess, but since most people reccomend 1000+ gallons for pacu's who grow to be 3ft I figured it'd be close. And I assume the 300gal would be for one specimin?

Throw out the nitra-zorb or save it for a day when you do have a spike. While it's in the filter you're just asking for trouble. The bene-bacteria grow in direct relation to the amount of ammonia and nitrite in the tank, by chemically reducing these chemicals you'll make the bacteria population...

Just squish it and be done with the ordeal.

:D The male just ate a good amount of bloodworm and is now normally colored (no bars). The female is still showing stress bars, but she's becoming less and less timid. Hopefully she'll eat tomorrow.

Downed servers make me cry. I'll check back tomorrow.

Two of my three are very complaciant, but the "leader" tends to push them around. He never does any damage, just a quick push to make sure they get he's in charge.

Okay, the water is now pristine and they seem to be doing okay...ish. The male will venture out but is easily spooked... I saw them both sort of creeping along around the arachnis-type plant, but they retreated behind the rocks. Since they were shocked and dumped into the water I'm going to...

Make sure you plan out what you want this too look like. If you want a waterfall, make sure you drill a hole for the pump line or intake to go through. Fire belly toads and newts do not get along, you'll end up with three legged newts. As a general guide to making a vivarium: Clean out...

Get the heater or you're going to really limit yourself in the way of selection. I'd thin out the snails to about four, and get a betta and two adf's. But becareful of your filter intake, frogs will get their legs caught and broken. I just had this happen last night and it's not pretty. The...
