Depends on you really, but I would use a dirted substrate capped with dirt, around 2-4 inches of dirt, and 1-2 inches of cap. Make sure the dirt is pure dirt, and the cap can be gravel, sand, and anything that will cover up the dirt without being dirty itself. As for plants, I would say go crazy...

Decaying

I'm not sure as I don't use those branded ones, all of mine are custom-made by us. But I will say, the bigger the better. it'll be easier to work with and more forgiving too, the more the water the less severe the fluctuations... Also I would recommend to get it heavily planted

That should be fine, you have livebearers and they prefer a little harder water, do you have a picture of the tank? is it planted?

Welcome! As what they mentioned, there are some risks... I think the female might be stressed out from the quick-moving fish and get stressed. But I think it's possible. You can try introducing a female and thoroughly observing their behavior. Are the barbs bullying the female? Is the female...

Oh alright, but I am pretty sure no one here offers that service... We don't really test waters here, unless it's for drinking water maybe we can test for that, but I'm not really sure what they include in those and they're pretty expensive... (Also we own a petshop, we don't do those services)

So I can't find it anywhere, so I'll have to test it myself... But I don't have a test kit on hand so I might buy myself one

Thanks! What do you mean by conditioning? Can you enlighten me on that

So I just bought this online labeled as "Java fern," but it's tiny and I'm not sure if it's even aquatic. Can anyone ID this? I know the seller is legit cus I have bought terrestrial moss from them before for my terrarium.

Might be a little late but I would use Jungle Vals, Cabomba, Pogostemon Octopus, and maybe Bacopa Monneiri if you like how they look

Alright, should be fine. I have another under 16gal tank

I didn't want to revive it, the tank I was asking about was 45 gals, this time I got it to 55 gals if that makes a difference... I'm not exactly sure about the water, but our water here is pretty neutral. I can also mix in some rainwater or RO if needed. What other fish can I add? Or is this...

A little late reply... Thanks everyone! All of the tanks were lovely...

Thanks!

Oh alright, so the next one I can join is on Sept?

Sure, I can do that. I don't have the tank right now too Cory cats would be nice

Thanks! I might join this tank in next month's TTOM, is that fine? It's okay to join consecutively right?

June 25, 2023: I removed some driftwood and gave the tank a 60% water change to stop the tannins from going overboard I also added more floaters to the tank and removed some hornwort and guppy grass.  June 27, 2023:  This is the tank as of today, more floater growth   This is a...

So I can't get a 4ft for space reasons, best I can do is a 55 gal 36 x 20 x 18. I have 2 male adult angels that are besties, always together. The female I introduced to them got killed... I can get more adult angels as I know breeders. I got 7 Congos I'm also planning on adding, I can get more...

Well to sum it up, emersed are aquatic plants grown on land, (This makes it so that they grow faster) but with the downside of having to transition. Depending on the type of plant, the transition might be little to nothing, or completely changing shape, color, and size. they also may melt/die...

I'm glad you think that, I was afraid of being called stupid... Anyways, I'll try to do some research, maybe tanks with Co2 have bamboo doing better than tanks without, that's how it works for most emersed to submerged plants I think

Mine only took 2 months. That's why I'm amazed at how long you kept yours. I also read about people successfully keeping them underwater, that's also why I'm trying it out again. Maybe how stable it is also matters, I'm trying one with healthier roots, and overall looks healthier. Maybe it might...

That's a bit cruel... But yea, stop getting plecos! I do think the tiny bristlenoses are cute though... Anyways, I personally kept bamboos in my tanks in different environments, now, the ones with the tops going out of the water of course did very well, more than doubling the leaves. The ones...

Welcome to TTF! I too, also started from goldfish in bowls! I love your bettas! I'm breeding bettas too! I feel that we have so much in common. I hope you enjoy your stay here!

These are photos from the past, as I didn't start the journal the day I started the tank June 12, 2023: Later that evening, It cleared up so I took another pic (Ignore the airline tubing, I honestly forgot what I was doing) June 17, 2023: Floaters have started to propagate, and the tannins...

This is the start of a new tank, well, not so new. in fact, it's one of my first tanks. My third tank (out of 11) I'll try to update this at least every week or if I do anything new Did a complete redo of my older tanks July 11, 2023: This was what I originally made, but... It was a little...
