Sounds like you may be a bit restricted in what you can do. Maybe more (low-light) plants to use up the nutrients that the algae is using? Bigger water changes might also help in that respect.

Hi there. I also spend way too much time here! :)

Hi, welcome. (I know nothing about SW :( )

Yeah, it sounds pretty nice-looking. Try to post a photo.

So that's how natural watercourses get clean! - it's all about thunderstorms. You could flick your tank lighting and on and off to imitate the function of nature even better.

He looks great - is he really that dark?

msjinkzd, is that true about the females showing a new saddle when the eggs are going to hatch?

Fish-Addict, I got three pandas, 10 of the glass shrimp, and one 'large' lace fern, which turned out to be two good sized stems. Yeah, I hope I'll be less worried next time. They actually delivered to our neightbours (the 'street' with the same name as our 'lane'), but I had a premonition and...

That's true, the oscar would definitely be in no danger from the shrimp.:)

Sure you were! :)

Would the fact that it was planted in the substrate be the reason that it rotted?

The 'hairy'ness could be the roots of the new plants.

It looks fine. Is it actually tied on in some way?

Go Lupin! Seeing that photo, I feel a bit nervous about them. Please make sure they feel really sturdy.
