Thanks! Since there are three nodes, I may separate some of the duplicate plants from one or two of the nodes, and keep the other duplicate plants together, so I have a mixture of singles and double(s) (If that makes sense?) Thanks for the information! I am excited that my plants are doing...

Thank you so much! I will wait until they have roots and remove and plant them then.

I planted Amazon Swords in my aquarium two weeks ago, and one of the plants has already sent up a stalk from the middle and has produced three baby plants. I know that you can cut the baby plants off and plant them in the substrate, but not sure how developed they should be before I do that...

Love it!!! Beautiful job. You are very talented!

I agree... What are the bronze colored plants? All I have in my tank right now are green plants and I would like to add another plant with a slightly different color like bronze/red, etc.. But from what I hear, a lot of red plants require High Light...

Looking good so far! I love the driftwood. Two suggestions for you:. Add a background to your tank....Black is a great color, it makes the plants "pop" and look more vibrantly green. It also hides any cords behind the tank. You can use black poster board or card stock, or even a black trash...

Looks like a Rainbow fish to me?

Crypts would be nice.

I would recommend you put a background on your tank...Black is a great color and makes plants "pop" and makes them look more vibrant green in color. You can just use black poster board material. Your plants look sparce right now, but they just need time to fill in. You could add some mid...

I have been considering Zebra and/or Tiger Nerites... They have such beautiful shells!

Hmmm.... not sure I want "pooping machines" in my tank! LOL :D :p But they are pretty! I guess beauty has a cost, right?! LOL

Fingers crossed that my Mystery Snails don't start eating my plants... I will keep a close eye on them, and if there are signs that they are eating plants, I may have to consider re-homing them, sadly. I really hope they don't, as I really enjoy watching them glide around the tank. They are so...

I grew up just 45 minutes from Portsmouth!! I go back to NH twice a year to visit my family (around the 4th of July and Christmas) In the same town I grew up in on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. In the Summer we go to the ocean in Maine (Ogunquit Beach). I would love to move back, but my...

I do love Michigan.... But my heart belongs to the Granite State (New Hampshire)...Always will... I am sure it is because I grew up there, and I am a little biased, but it is so beautiful... I think if I lived further north, near the UP, I would probably not be as homesick for New Hampshire...

Everything I am reading online indicates that they don't eat live plants. What I am reading is that they will eat plants that are melting or dying, but won't eat live parts of a plant. All of the research I have done indicates that they eat algae and detritus (which includes dead plant matter)?

I heard that they only eat parts of plants that are dead or dying, and so far that has proven to be true? Hopefully it continues to be the case.

I am really close to the lake, but for some reason I don't go to the beach often.. not sure why? I just don't. I guess that to me, it doesn't feel like a lake, it feels more like an ocean. I didn't grow up in Michigan. I've only lived in MI for 14 years. I grew up in New Hampshire next to...

I have never kept Mystery Snails before. I bought three Mystery Snails about a week ago. When I put them in my aquarium, one of them was emmediately active and perusing the tank. The other two took a little while to become active and start moving around the aquarium. One of them started...

I live on Lake Michigan as well!! Well...not "on" it...I live "by" it....I don't live on a house boat or anything...LOL....I live within a mile of it's shore. :D

Beautiful Location... You are very lucky!!

Glad to help! :D

Definitely a damselfly nymph (larvae). They are very efficient aquatic preditors that feed on anything small enough for them to handle, just like Dragonfly nymphs. They are smaller, longer, and more slender than Dragonfly nymphs, but still very capable preditors able to eat shrimplets and fish...

Testing rocks using vinegar for the presence of carbonates works, but because vinegar is a weak acid it will only work if the carbonate concentration in the rock is relatively high. So testing using vinegar can sometimes be unreliable. If there isn't enough carbonate present to react with the...

I had a huge population explosion of MTS in a 30 gallon tank years ago. I didn't even put MTS in my tank, they must have been hitch hikers with some fish I added to the tank. I didn't even add the bag water when adding new fish, so there must have been some eggs or something in the little bit...

Awesome, thank you... I will check it out! :)

Welcome to the Forum!!! :hi:

I would like to mail order some Java Moss, but no Pet Stores around me Cary it. So I will have to mail order some. Any recommendations for a good online aquarium supplier that sells live plants? I've ordered from Jacob's Aquarium and was very pleased with the plants I received, but he is sold...

I'm guessing around 100 gallons depending on the width and height.

He is absolutely correct!!!! In my 10 years as a Vet Tech, I came across hundreds of tortoise-shell cats and I think maybe only a small handful of them were nice...The rest were nasty! I think that a cat's temperment can be a trait that is linked with color/pattern..A lot of Calico cats can...

Love the Irish accent!!! I'd pay a little money just to get Vet advice in an Irish accent!!! :p

I would always lean towards a tank that can accommodate more fish!!! :p Or shrimp, etc..

They look like Giant Cories! LOL :D

Yes, nothing smells worse than anal gland fluid!!! Even after 10 years of working as a Vet Tech and smelling it on a regular basis...It is a smell that you never "get used to"...It is foul beyond belief!!

Great Information... Thank you!!!!

Thank you! I added the plants to the tank "as is" after rinsing the roots. They are floating nicely and are really green and healthy looking. I am already using Seachem Flourish Comprehensive because I have Anubias in the tank, so I am all set! Thanks again!

I received some Water Sprite today. It came in pots, and I plan on adding it to my tank as a floating plant. I took the plants out of the pots, removed the planting "wool" and rinsed as much of the planting substrate off of the roots as I could. Should I just add it to the tank and let it...

You are very talented!! I agree, you could sell your artwork. You should look into it. I would love to see a Rummynose Tetra with the black barred tail fin and a splash of red in it's nose/head.. You would only need to use a little color for this species! :D

I can handle slobber, I'm a big girl! :p I used to be a Veterinarian Technician, so I am no stranger to Slobber... Plus, in my opinion, dogs are well worth the slobber... So, bring on the Slobber!!! :lol:

I agree with @seangee, @Retired Viking, @PheonixKingZ, @WhistlingBadger, and @AdoraBelle Dearheart .... I think a rearrangement of some of your driftwood so that they are LESS evenly spaced and fewer peices being vertical would make the scape look more natural... Adding stones of differing sizes...

I have a Great Dane cross... But I have always wanted a pure bred Great Dane...and a Blue Great Dane is my dream dog!! Your boy is beautiful!:wub:
