Hmmmm, that "anchor" idea makes sense! I think I was way too stressed to even remotely think of that at the time!

Woah, 3"?? Then I really don't have enough! I think mine ranges from about 1-2"!

I WAS going to add some rocks to keep them down, but the water clouded up so much, I couldn't see where to place them, either!

OK... so... I bought my first live aquarium plant about a year ago. Like most people I started off EASY, with Java ferns and anubias. About 80% of those Javas ended up infected with little green balls that no forum seems to be able to ID. The anubias did well but now bore the daylights out of...

UPDATE - the little thingies appear to be GONE! In fact, there are also fewer seed shrimp. Alas... I am having an algae problem, too... I thought shrimp ate algae!

Today picked up a wheel I had a snow tire mounted onto, then delivered some 1990s Jeep dealer parts books to a friend, then headed toward my favorite fish store then my phone told me they are CLOSED on Tuesdays, after driving about 45 minutes. At least it was EAST, which was the direction I had...

Wellp, in the end, I decided to go LOW LIGHT with this tank. I simply did NOT like that kit light. Too blue for me, and just too bright. Shame, because it is rather nice. Maybe if it had some red LEDs along with the white and blue... Maybe I'll try to sell the light to recoup some of the kit's...

Sounds like it could be bright enough for higher need plants then? I did read that this kit does indeed come with a brighter light than the betta version. That's why I need to know its capability before adding plants. I just don't want to kill off what I move into it.

PLANT KILLER!!! ;):ninja::whistle::rip:

I'm too late, too... at least they found a home, OR DID THEY???

A FB group also thinks Killifish. Some of what is on that book page does make sense, like the sand in their habitat. The shore of that lake is sandy.

I know my Speedy is female only because eggs showed up one day ;-)

HI all I bit the bullet and picked up a Fluval Ebi Shrimp tank/kit. Long story short, I need to know what the included light is capable of. It can't be dimmed, so I am stuck with ON/OFF (and blue). According to the info PDF on their website, the specs are: The tank is 2.6 gallons and 12"...

Can anyone ID these "outdoor fish"? I see them in a lake/pond in central-eastern Massachusetts. They are maybe a few inches max, and seem to hang out at the shore line when the sun is out.

Thing is, this tank is shrimp only, so they won't get eaten up :-(

Speedy the nerite on her first day in Tank #2. Notice the swath of clean fake-rock? She has since returned to Tank #1.

That pic isn't what I have... looks scary, though!!

OK, so here's an update... I looked at the Aqueon site and noticed that all the larger versions of this filter can have the "guts" removed from the outer "casing". So I looked at mine, and saw the same opening that the instructions referred to in the larger ones that help separate the two...

I should explain there are indeed those swimmy seed shrimp in there, but those tiny things that look like straight lines are what I am referring to. Let me go look... OK, so I THOUGHT they were NOT moving on their own. Then I got the bright idea to get my loupe and used it to look at them...

Could try playing some smooth saxophone music near their tank...

Thing is, last I looked, trying to add it to the inside of this one is impossible. The impeller looks like it is very close to the intake. I picked up something new to try today, so I'll take pics just for the record when I give it a try.

yeah, I have been looking at the HOB styles... I don't have a lot of space, and the tank isn't that large, so I may try one of the less expensive types first, adding a pre-filter. I just liked the idea of being able to tuck this internal one into a corner and not having to listen to bubbles...

This is Betsy (betta #2)... got her when she was a little baby... she's over 2 inches now! ... and this guy doesn't have a name yet (betta #4). He's been here about a month, but no names have come to mind for him yet. ... and this little girl (betta #5) was an impulse-buy. I really...

Wellp, my experiment didn't work... here are some photos Covered the intake perfectly! Make 2 holes for the suction cups... even though I used the hanger Looked silly but the sock kept the baby shrimp out. They all swarmed over to inspect it! BUT, the next day, the outflow was rather...
