About 15-20 shrimp should be my max threshold... After that, I should start looking into putting together another tank... :rolleyes: Talk about good motivation huh?

Nice Nice! Try to find a nice clump of moss to toss in somewhere. I noticed you said you are going to "start" with Ghost Shrimp. Does that mean that you are going to take them out after awhile? I said this because Ghost shrimp have a tendency to eat smaller and weaker shrimp.... So it may be...

It is good to have moving water. However, Under-gravel filter sounds like its powered from a bubbler right? Planted Tank enthusiasts usually stray away from having a bubbler. Why? Plants need CO2, and bubblers seem to increase the partial pressure of oxygen (P02) in the water, leaving less...

Interesting. Thats a first for me. Then again most things are.

Alright. I will attempt to help you, even though im a noob also hahaha. I'll give you some advice on what ive learned through other people, and from my mistakes. 1. I live in a place where my room rarely drops below 70F. If your room is the same, then you dont need a heater. Shrimps can...

Hey guys, I haven't posted on this forum in a long long time. Anyways, I have been running my 1.5 planted cube for a week now, and am ready to post some pictures! But first, some specs: Equipment: -1.5 gallon Glass Cube with back spray painted black -Red Sea Deco Art Filter -26 watt desklamp...

In the wild, betta rarely come by a meal, so it is healthy to skip 1-2 days a week of feeding. Now, I know this is quite a hard task, because everytime you see your betta swimming around, you just want to plop in a pellet or two. :shifty: The days of fasting, should clean out your betta's...

Ah. Thank for the heads up. However, I am from Vietnam (the part of the world where betta splendens comes from) ...and lets just say... You WISH Vietnam is 78-80 degrees all the time. Maybe in the winter, if you're lucky. Average temps are high 80s, to high 90s. Also, fancy bettas, like my...

Blackwater extract naturally lowers ph, and softens water. Similar effects to the Indian Almond Leaf. Thanks for your kinds words. You can tell I spoil him with the best.

Ever since I added a heater in my tank, my betta is healthy as ever. Im using a 7.5 watt Jr. heater, for my 2.5 gallon. The temperature stays a constant 85F. For those of you scared of frying your betta, or fluctuating temps, dont worry. This heater is pretty reliable. I also use 2 Mls...

Hey guys! I haven't been here for about a year. First year of college and stuff. Anyways, here is my latest desk buddy. 2.5 gallon glass @ 85F (no small betta prison here!) Glad to be back.

Nice, what do you feed it?

Very nice! best of luck on your spawn. Im pretty sure it's spelled Cambodian thought.

Angels should be good with any tetras except Neons. Neons are too small and will be gobbled up like cracker jacks.

Are you planning on breeding them? or just keeping them as pets? My best experience with discus is a clean and Consitistent [i][u] source of water. Do not try to add a bunch of chemicals to get that lucky 6.8.... If you do, you have to get exactly that number everytime. For me, I have slowly...
