Thanks for the suggestions guys! So if I place the planter cup close to the waters surface this will encourage these two plants to grow downwards?

I am looking to buy some plants to put in a small 20 litre aquarium. I have my hardscape and my substrate-planted plants in there already and also wanted to plant some trailing-type/cascading-type plants into these : https://www.ebay.com.au/p/507423175 I am planning to put them in the back wall...

Yes that was my thoughts too, and plus I have read that it can also mess with the balance of the water as well. And that is great to know, there's not that many in my tank at this stage so I am trying to get on top of it now. I suppose I will have to keep manually removing them for now :)

Hi all! It's been a while since I've been online but thought I'd log in and while I'm here, give an update on Elvis's tank. It's about 5 months old now and the layout has been changed a bit plus some plants have died, some added and some have REALLY taken off :D Elvis is still kicking and ruling...

My 4ft is starting to have a pest snail problem and I want to try and get them under control asap! They are ramshorns I think. The tank is home to my betta and he is the only fish in the tank, meaning I can't really feed less, which is the most common suggestion I have read to do online...

Thank you all!! Wow.. speechless really, but totally humbled that my tank is "winner-worthy" :eek: :fish: very very appreciated !! Oh and ps! I am a "she" hahah :p:lol:

Thanks for your advice guys. I feel like the worst fish owner for putting all these fish together in the first place.. but here's an update: returned the hill stream loach, endlers, pygmy Corydoras and rehomed the otos to someone that has a school of 8 already (I already knew that they needed...

I will definitely give it a rinse off. I didn't boil the wood because it has a plant firmly rooted to it though..

I have a peice of drift wood that has been in my tank for about 2 weeks and it has a mold or fungus growing on it. It was fuzzy in apprarence and created a type of slime coat over the wood. I had searched the topic before and read it was normal/harmless and often goes away by itself? I have been...

The lfs guy told me hillstream loaches were great by themselves. Water hardness is 8. Edit - I will have to sort out the stocking asap

I just had a quick google/you tube on what epoxy resin is and admittedly am not 100% on it but I am imaging a finished product similar to Amber but clear /uncoloured!? ( please correct me if I am wrong!) Which is awesome! I am one of those odd people who photograph all their fish and have them...

So awesome!! Amazing work!

There has been a lot of change in our fish fam lately! Originally having 7 tanks, idling between 3 & 4 tanks and now down to 2. One of these tanks is our cycled 60Litre which has been converted to a community tank - a mix of previous tank inhabitants we had kept and new ones: - 6 endlers - 5...

I love AntsCanada. Literally just binge watch his videos!

Soo. I liked having shrimp so much that I made another shrimp tank *slaps forehead* they're both in the home office. Doing work is getting harder and harder! If I had different cherry shrimp in one tank would they breed and make new/different colours? Edit: Thinking about having a mix of...

My newest tank which to me is my dream tank for hands down my favorite fish: a betta! It is the new home for my plakat Elvis and 5 nerites. Tank size: 4ft Tabk inhabitants: 1 betta, 5 nerites Age: 1 week old Temp: 26 degrees Celsius Equiptment: 2 internal filters, 2 heaters and 2 lights...

I fear I won't ever be able to keep a Betta in a smaller tank due to the guilt of knowing another is living in this size tank haha :p:eek: best not to think about that just yet though! I don't want to get addicted to having 4ft tanks everywhere o_O

That didnt even cross my mind to do so! A huge compliment for you to suggest it though, thank you :lol: :fish:

Thank you! I do have a shrimp tank so I may move some in once they overpopulate their current tank!! Knowing Elvis he will definitely eat them, but some may survive with the amount of cover they will have :)

I have a previous post throwing the idea out there whether I should turn our recently unused 4ft -formally a community tank - into a Betta tank. I went ahead with the build and thought I would post a new thread with how the build turned out! Once again, thank you to all who helped me with this...

Hi all! Thought I would give you an update on the build, this is how it looks so far: Photo 3 is my favourite because you can see Elvis in the bottom left of the tank :) I've gone with sand topped with gravel about 20Kg of each. So far all of his hardscape, filter media and plants have been...

Thanks so much! That is awesome to know

My sand came in the mail but it won't fill the tank enough *sigh* Is mixing substrates okay? I have 4 bags of unopened substrate from past builds 2 ADA Africana Normal and 2 bags of UP-aqua sand. I am fully aware that they are different sizes and degrees of enrichment but I'm just asking if...

Could it be a tumor or abcess?

So * may be a parasite

Oh no. Poor Blaze! I too think it looks like something under his skin but may be a parasite..? How is he doing?

Ahh! You definitly should convince her, my forum name isn't my forum name for no reason :p
