    This is Ruvik! We call him "Ruvie" He is a captive bred garter snake. We've had since he was a little guy, he is three years old. His last measurement was 32 inches long! Though he should be done growing now. He sheds twice-three times a year. He lives in a 4ft by 2ft terrarium but twice a week...

    Holes in Kleiner plants

    @Avel1896 I could remove the two plants I'm having problems with and trim them in a quarantine tank and wait for new growth. I'm also still working on catching all the pond snails to rule out them feeding on the plants. @itiwhetu I believe the foot print is 30"X12" I'll have to find a tape...

    Holes in Kleiner plants

    I'll be spending the weekend catching the pond snails then, hopefully that's the issue and I'll add an extra root tab to those damaged ones to see if that helps with the yellowing. Thank you all for the help!

    Holes in Kleiner plants

    If it is potassium deficiency how do I manage that? Additional root tabs or different liquid fertilizer? No sucker fish in the tank, there are bladder snails but I've never noticed any on the leaves or any damage to any of the other plants

    Having Tank Issues With Water

    Do you dechlorniate water before adding and add same temp water? Have you tested the tank water and not just tap?

    Holes in Kleiner plants

    Hello! I'm just seeing if anyone knows what's going on with my Kleiner. 2 out of 7 in this tank have developed holes in the leaves, at first they start out brown and then the holes happen. The two plants are right next to eachother and surrounded by 12 other swords which are all doing great...

    Wow he is really cool!

    Goodday!

    Welcome! One thing I learned about hardscaping recently that's helped me is that it's more aesthetic when all the stones are either the same shade or same stone!

    cycle 90 gallon

    I'm unsure how many balls you'll need for the 90, but leave them in the 37 filter box for 4 or 5 weeks, 6 could be better. I'm sure any amount of bacteria will at least help a bit in seeding the new filter

    When the sleeper wakes...

    It looks great! I really like the color of gravel. I've heard good things of maidenhead- though I'm from the u.s. Cardinals are going to look great in there! They'll offer so much contrast. I have a soft spot for otos but I have none yet. I bet the rams will love it too. The background really...

    Upgrading Tank(s). Need Suggestions.

    I used a couple of these when moved and waited for the tank, they were inexpensive under 10usd each and came with a lid.you can drill holes in the lid for the tubing

    New to real plants

    I've never used black gravel so I'm unable to give any experience with it. However Amazon swords are definitely very easy to have and grow well in the right conditions. Be sure to buy root tab fertilizer for swords as they are heavy root feeders. They should be given a tab under the gravel every...

    How many litres for single aggressive honey gourami?

    Could you try adding 2 more females in with the existing male and female? I've read that when in groups aggression is spread fairly when there's only one male but multiple females

    Stocking Ideas for two tanks (18 litres and 25 litres)

    The only fish I would say for the 25l would be a single betta, just as mentioned above- shrimp would be a better choice. There are quite a variety of color and red would look great in contrast to green in a planted 18l

    Interested in seeing any photos of your build! Do you have a stocking idea list?

    looking for 4 more species of plants :)

    I really like Anacharis, you can attach it to driftwood and allow it to grow upwards or let it float also. It's a stem feeder and gets bushy

    How many litres for single aggressive honey gourami?

    On seriouslyfish they reccomend a 60cm X 30cm for a single pair. I believe that's a 25 gallon. So I would say a 25 or 20gallon for one individual, which would give you room for aquascaping😄

    I think swapping the center rock for driftwood will look great! It's a really interesting piece of wood! What's your stocking plan? I admire the hardscape so far and the carpet would look so lovely !

    This my 30gallon which should only house my 20 serpae tetra, a nerite snail and one ghost shrimp (but have guests while their tank cycles another week or so.) I've always really admired serpae tetra because of how boisterous they are, their shape and general school behavior. They actually sort...

    My Betta Toshi

    Garlic juice contains a natural chemical which helps with fish appetites. You could soak his pellets or crumbs in the juice for a bit and see if that can inspire him to eat, which will help with balancing his diet

    Quarantining a Snail

    One example is snails can carry ich but not be sick themselves, they are able to transfer illness like you said. If its been healthy alone for 2 months I don't see a reason to quarantine it again unless you placed new plants or other inhabitants with said snail in the two months. Aquarium...

    Root tabs

    I've had great results with seachem flourish root tabs, they don't leech into the water column either. Just be sure to not disturb near the tab site during vacuuming. On amazon they're relatively inexpensive

    Unknown particles on the water surface of my tank

    It's hard to say what could have killed the cardinal without water parameters so i would go with a water change to dilute any issues in the water chemistry currently. What volume do you change weekly?

    Your oldest fish

    My first ever fish was a silver dollar who lived for about 8 or 9 years, I think I was 10 when I got him haha

    Red tailed Shark and fire mouth

    I'm not sure if that's a permanent solution as all fish except the goldfish are tropical and goldfish are cold water, living in too hot or too cold of water stresses fish out making them susceptible to illness and it can even shorten their lifespan
