Yes, but they will interbreed.

...only problem I can thnk of is if you're trying to avoid snails in the new tank and you transfer them (or their eggs) with the wood.

Thanks _Ty_, will consider that.

Wow, Zigman - new avatar! :)

That's interesting - I have had the same problem, but when I spoke to my local hardware, who are pretty savvy, they didn't think the acrylic would be the problem. I ended up chalking it up to my bad technique. This is after watching my DIY external filter explode in front of me, five minutes...

Some brands will actually aquarium-safe on the tube. (or they do here.)

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I liked _Ty_'s idea, but then I also really like the stuff on the Riparium site, although I would probably want to DIY something similar. Their tanks photos look great, although I'm not sure my plants will grow well enough to carry that look off. Still...

Thanks for making this point, as I see this idea repeated over and over, but have never seen any evidence for it. I would condemn keeping fish in too-small tanks, but I also condemn spreading misinformation, if that's what it is, even if it's well-meaning.

First of all, great thread title. Second, http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=204352 Third, there is no third. Fourth, I'm not quite clear on whether the fungi are growing abaove the waterline or below, but either way, I don't see them being a problem; I think it's cool. I...

At the moment I'm running 6km and swimming 1km, a couple of times a week each.

Hello, welcome to the forum :hi:

Tahitian Moon Sand is probably the best-looking black substrate, but it's not cheap.

Hiya, welcome.

No, 5.

How about Rams?
