Update for anyone who cares - I found baby shrimp a few days ago, so apparently the adults were just hiding really well! Today I saw one of the 4 adults as well. While I still find it strange that some seem to disappear forever, it doesn't look like a mass die-off is occuring. Thanks for all...

I have tried using root tabs (one per plant, at base of plant, replace every 4 months as per instructions) on my rooted plants and seachem flourish for my floaters and nothing seems to be working. My hornwort seems to shed needles until there is either nothing left or just a small part covered...

I can't get pictures that would be of any help. All the remaining shrimp are very lightly colored, almost see-through in appearance, and my camera won't focus on them. Does that include the assassin snails? Though it wouldn't explain the missing shrimp in my 10gal, I'd like to establish it. 0...

It's hard for me to establish any symptoms or what they look like upon death because I haven't found any dead in over 4 months. From what I remember of the two that died, one was hanging upside down off the duckweed on the surface then suddenly dropped to the bottom and stopped moving. I left it...

I have two tanks, the layouts of which are - 10gal, heavily planted, driftwood and cholla wood, decorative caves, w/ 2 Honey Gourami, 1 Clown Pleco, and 4 cherry shrimp I placed in the tank within the last month 30gal, lightly planted, with lots of driftwood and duckweed, w/ 14 cardinal tetra...

I have a large amount of hornwort quarantined in a 10g tank, which I am using an LED strip to light. I am going on vacation for a week and will not be around to turn my light on and off, and I don't have a timer for them. I'd really like to keep them out of my main tank for now (which does have...

Good to know, thanks.

It's in the first sentence? Lmao

That's great to hear; I was thinking the opposite was true, but this makes much more sense. Just to be clear, would it be that ALL hob filters are low flow, or just mine?

I'll have to move my shrimp, but otherwise it sounds good. So right now I'm looking at getting a clown pleco and 2 honey gourami. Hopefully they play nice!

I have a huge piece of mopani driftwood that takes up 1/3rd of the tank bottom, as well as cholla logs. Is that enough?

So I have a 30g aquarium with an Aqueon QuietFlow 20 HOB filter and 15 cardinals. I was looking to get 2 or 3 honey gourami, and noticed that both species do well in "low flow" setups. This would seem to me an easily defined thing, but google searches have been inconclusive. So, does anyone know...

This sounds like exactly what I was looking for! How many do you think I should have in a 30 gallon? And I'm assuming they are ok with gravel?

Alright thank you!

Thanks, I've been giving them root tabs but they all look sickly. I must need to do something else for them too. As you can see in the photo, this one is already well on its way to looking the same.

They seem to have higher GH requirements than I can provide. My water is 12 dGH and I'm reading they need 20 minimum. Does that sound right? Thanks, I had been using a similar method but I must've cut the tubing too short. Will buy more and try again. It's not blasty over a large area per se...

Although I can't remember what it was called exactly, it wasn't labeled as a sword in store. It could possibly be a variety then. Would the care be basically the same between the two?

I'm open to either, as long as they don't eat my cardinals! I've heard of pencilfish, but can't remember seeing them before. They look like Danios, but more colorful. I'll look into them, thanks!

Are you sure? I have swords, and they have much slimmer leaves. These leaves are much more broad.

That's a shame, I hadn't heard that before, and they are the most beautiful tropical fish I've seen! Other than honeys, is there anything else that comes to mind for the top or bottom?

I'm planning on rehoming the cories for sure. Any particular pleco recommendations? And I know that gourami like floating plants, but as of now my duckweed covers 98% of the tank surface. Since they need to breathe air, I'm assuming that's too much, right? I've heard that both cardinals and...

Background: 30 gal tank, lightly planted with gravel bottom, mostly hornwort, swords and java ferns, lots of driftwood. The top of my tank is nearly completely covered in duckweed. My fish are 13 cardinals, 5 pygmy corys and cherry shrimp, as well as mixed snails including assassins Water is 78...

I went back to get some more and it's gone. All cardinals still here. No signs of grevious wounds I can see. My title might be more accurate than I thought... Is it possible for the cardinal to have gotten a small piece of gravel stuck in it? The color, shape and size would be about right. And I...

Difficult to say. The behaviors are still occuring, but possibly less frequently now. If there are noticeable improvements they should be within a few days, as I just recently finished getting the salty/softened water out.

I do water changes of about 25 percent once a week. I have no chlorine in my water, and my pH is stable. However there is currently salt in my water and the Gh is too low for the mollies. I am working on correcting the last two. I will try smaller water changes as well. I do have big issues...

Hello, I have been keeping track these past few days of a strange lump that's been appearing on one of my cardinals. I do believe that whatever it is, it's growing, and I can't find anything about it anywhere. So here's some pictures. I think it's important to mention that the object appears...
