    Floating plants?

    I have red root floaters and dwarf lettuce. I do not find maintenance difficult. I do weekly water changes and just grab a handful and toss when I am changing the water.

    Differences in body shape in guppies

    I've had some guppies that fall into the normal category but had rather rounded body shape. They kind of struggled to swim and I promised myself to never get any shaped the way again.

    Complete beginner

    You need some surface agitation. Get an airpump and airstone.

    Is it safe and acceptable to use hydrogen peroxide on BGA?

    It might be dead. How can you even tell if it is alive or not. It will either grow or slowly disappear.

    Bristlenose Pleco's ~ Disappearing Never to be Seen Again...

    I got another one. It's doing fine.

    Bristlenose Pleco's ~ Disappearing Never to be Seen Again...

    I had one disappear a few months ago. Never found a body, just gone. I assume he died and was eaten by snails but really have no idea.

    Shrimp missing after adding them?

    You need to do it a bit differently for shrimp. Put them in a container with the water from the bag, slowly drip tank water into the container for at least an hour (or more).

    Shrimp missing after adding them?

    mollies and platys could definitely have eaten them. Shrimp are also pretty good at hiding though also.

    Is it safe and acceptable to use hydrogen peroxide on BGA?

    You can do that but remember you will be crashing your cycle too.

    Is it safe and acceptable to use hydrogen peroxide on BGA?

    I don't think it is safe to use other than spot treating. I would spot treat just a little bit every day to give it a chance to break down. If you get too much in there at one time, I am sure the algae won't be the only thing dying.

    Automated fish feeders

    looks to be unavailable now but I used this one. It worked well and has a place to add an airline so the food stays dry. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CN6HWNK/?tag=ff0d01-20

    is this ok to run?

    Looks nice! Personally, I would point it towards the front of the tank instead of straight down but that's just me.

    Betta bullying shrimp

    I thought my betta was okay with shrimp until one day I saw him with a shrimp tail hanging out of his mouth...

    Anubias rotting roots

    I trim the roots all the time on my Anubias (all the really long ones). I do always leave about an inch or two. The roots on an Anubias are just to anchor the plant. They do most of their feeding through the leaves.

    Where do you get your wood and rocks?

    I always buy wood and stone at my local store. I like to personally pick out the size and shape which is near impossible online.

    Christmas Moss

    I was wondering if it would stop getting bigger at some point?

    Christmas Moss

    Question - does Christmas moss have a limit of growth or do I have to trim it? It is about as big as I want it now.

    Floating plants with lid on tank

    I have 3 tanks with lids and no problems. Dwarf lettuce and Red root floater. The only real problem I have ever had is keeping them out of the flow of the filter output.

    Pre-filter too loose

    similar foam to the prefilter. It is going to clog up frequently.
  24. BrianK

    Pre-filter too loose

    maybe stuff some foam inside the intake tube to slow it down a bit?

    Last Fish You Bought/Got

    Bristlenose Pleco (I think). Might have been some replacement Tiger Barbs.

    Buying my first aquarium (second hand)

    looks great! Fill with water outside first to make there are no leaks.

    Why is my Tetra Glofish so huge compared to the others.

    That looks like a black skirt tetra. That one is probably a female. They are a bit bigger and wider.

    What’s the best food not live feed I feed guppy’s

    I feed mine all kinds of food. Flakes, bug bites, freeze dried brine shrimp, freeze dried tubiflex worms.

    All in one aquariums

    I like my fluval flex. Edit: sorry - missed the part where mentioned stand. There are stands available but I don't know if they are decent or not.
  31. BrianK

    15 gal flex

    It will always be slightly lower but more than about an inch means the foam in the filter section or the pre-filter (if using) is clogged a bit.

    Plant ID - is this Java moss

    Yes, with lots of algae mixed in.

    Shrimp population control

    Shrimp have a very small bioload so there can be a lot of them. Amano shrimp don't reproduce in fresh water. Shrimp populations will stop growing eventually.

    How much is a koi worth

    I don't know much about Koi but I'm thinking for Koi that big, $50 is probably a pretty good deal even if the quality isn't great ( and I could not tell you if that quality is good or not).
  35. BrianK

    How much is a koi worth

    I don't think anyone can tell you. It's very dependent on size and coloration. Just saying a type isn't nearly enough info I don't think. I could be completely wrong.

    What does your tank smell like?

    I wouldn't know. I lost my sense of smell 4 years ago from a head injury. :(

    Post your first tank vs. newest!

    Intermittently. Not continuously. Most the time was not fish but an aquatic turtle tank.

    Post your first tank vs. newest!

    I don't have pictures of my first tank. That was about 55 years ago,lol.
