If it was already mentioned, consider this a second vote for this plant...Java Moss! It is a popular aquarium plant, and from what I hear, easy to grow. I am having a hard time finding it around me though, and some online aquarium stores are sold out of it, showing a high demand for the plant.

Dollar per gallon will be in Sept to Nov where I am, so I think I am in the same "sales region" as @PheonixKingZ

I will be adding either a clown or bristlenose Pleco...Just can't find either right now...I will probably have to have my LFS order some for me like I did the Harlequin Rasboras. I was at the fish store last week and asked if they had any BN Plecos and they directed me to a tank with small...

I did a fishless cycle and the tank is fully cycled. I also added plants and I have some floating plants (water Sprite) coming in the mail on Saturday. I ordered 20 Harlequin Rasboras from my LFS and hope to get them in soon. I will be holding off on some of the more sensitive species such as...

They are beautiful, but from what I hear they can be very sensitive to water parameters. They require a low pH and warm water. They require warmer water Temperatures than the other fish I wish to keep, so maybe some day I will set up another tank for warmer water fish.

Beautiful planted tank!! Welcome to TFF! :D :hi:

Nerites are known to be escape artists. Until about a week ago, I only knew this from hearing it from other hobbyists, but I now know this from first hand experience. I added a Nerite snail to my tank a little over a week ago and only a few days after getting it, I found him on the glass of the...

Thank you!! I will follow this.

Thank you!!

I filled my 55 gallon aquarium with live plants three days ago. I'm new to planted tanks, so I want to make sure I am using the best Fertilization regimen. I used Seachem Root Tabs for the plants rooted in the substrate (sand), and liquid fertilizer (Seachem Flourish Comprehensive Supplement)...

I really wanted Frogbit, but it is illegal in Michigan. :( It is considered an invasive species. I do have Vallisneria in the tank already. It is planted in the back behind the driftwood. It just needs time to grow. :good: I just ordered some Water Sprite, so that there will be some cover for...

I contacted my LFS and I had them order some Harlequin Rasboras for me. They had some in stock, but not as many as I wanted, so I asked them to order 20 for me, so I can add them all at once. I was informed that their orders are "Hit or Miss" right now, so they might not get them in the next...

I really wanted dwarf water lettuce and/or water Sprite but couldn't find any.. I will keep looking and look for some Pennywort too. Thanks!! :)

Gotcha... I was confused because the post was deleted and wasn't showing up.

Ok, I understand now! ... I think I was confused because the post was deleted.

What other important issue needs addressing? I am confused...

That is what I thought... Thank you for confirming this for me... I will wait several months to add these guys. Thanks!:)

I do have some floating plants... I have Salvinia minima, but it is small, so you just can't see it in the picture well. I am having a hard time finding floating plants. Salvinia was all I could find and I had to mail order it. I would like some larger floating plants, so I will just have to...

I can't wait to see fish swimming around!!

Agreed! I had to really shop around. I did get lucky though on Craigslist. I posted that I was looking for driftwood and a man responded saying that he had several pieces he didn't need anymore and sent me pictures. I asked how much he wanted, and he said I could have them for free and he...

My 55 gallon aquarium finished cycling about a week ago, and I just added live plants yesterday. I plan on adding fish this coming week, and would love some advice on which species I should add first... In other words, if there is a species that would be best to add first (i.e. a hardier fish)...

It took me four trips to different Pet Stores, one which is almost an hour away, and a posting on Craigslist to collect all of the driftwood. For some reason driftwood was hard to find... I don't know if it is because or the Pandemic, or if it is just my location and the stores around me. It...

Thank you!!

Thank you!! Can't wait to add fish!!

Below are some pictures of of my 55 gallon aquarium after planting the aquatic plants that arrived in the mail today from Jacob's Aquarium. Some of the plants were purchased from a different supplier, but most were obtained from Jacob's Aquarium. I haven't been on TFF for a while because I've...

Congratulations!!! Beautiful Tank ! :hooray:

This is so true... I had a hard time finding live plants online...even the most basic and popular ones...

I ordered from Jacob's Aquarium... I've heard good things about his company and all of the reviews were good. I had a hard time finding plants on other sites so hopefully the plants arrive in good condition.

I had read that so I am prepared for that..thanks!!

Thank you... I can't wait to plant them in my tank!!
