Hi and welcome! Hope you have fun here!

It all depends on what kind of fish you have. If you have fish that prefer dark substrate and dimmed lightning, I think you'd be better with a background.

Back from the shop bought a couple of plants and fishes yesterday: new update.   First of: Got 14 Hemigrammus rhodostomus A dozen of CPDs, (got about 3-4 males out of these) 4 nerite snails 6 Amano shrimp About 10 Pygmy Corydoras!   That's it! Tank is fully stocked.   I'll take a snapshot when...

girlfriend got home. All fish are safe and sound

Hi! I have bought some new fish to put in my tank this morning. I am aclimating them to the temperature and doing the drip method and left home for 15 minutes (Was supposed to be 15).. Returning from the car ride, I realized it was already late and should head for work. I told my girlfriend...

wow. chain loaches were 10$ each. Fml

Yellow dust covering makes me think of oodinium..   Here is a PDF on the subjecT: http://www.fishvet.com/Oodinium.pdf

Yep, I know that they would do ok in 24-25 water altho I know that they really prefer the 22C water. I'm now considering pygmy loaches as they would fit exactly in what my aquarium specifications. Argggghh Haha my girfriend will think I'm crazy.

Oh I forgot about the panda corries, again. Wondering if I should get them as the more I'm reading, the more I'm seeing they should be kept in cooler water :|

Except the fact that it might make more noise, I don't think so. 1. Maybe your fish won't like the increased ammount of current. 2. If your other tank has bacteria or disease, it will also contaminate your filter. 3. I don't know.   I'd wait for other people to answer tho as I am still fairly...

I'm thinking you should test your water and see what it tells you.   It is said that a good fishkeeper is not known as a fishkeeper but as a waterkeeper.

I have a dog which is a German Shepperd X Labrador. He basically looks like a Labrador with GS colors. Really cute and friendly, he's a big big baby. (Not fat)

You could bring the filter with you and run it in the 15g you have at home, you can empty the water from the other tank while you are out.

The only thing I know is that you might have problems with that many Cichlids in your tank.

Light doesn't really matter as plastic plants don't require it.

It's good to know that red tiger lotus goes to the surface as I do require a bit of surface plants. :)   I think I might be stuck without red plants.

I'll call my LFS see if they have any! They seem harder to find than RCS :/

I was really sad when I pulled up that link as well! I can't imagine what you are going through right now.. As other people said on that thread, the "only way" to help him would be to remove some of that nasty stuff from him, if you are confortable in doing so. I wouldn't be. I'm hoping there is...

I'm sure the question has been asked many many times, but I do have to ask anyways. Are there any low light, low tech red plants that exists? I'm asking because my tank HAS to be low light, considering I have low light fishies!   Thank you! :D

Now I'm debating on either getting cherry shrimp or amanos.. I already have cherries in my other 20 gallon tank but seeing how my gourami is such a pig, I'm scared he'll see the cherry as a very tasty expensive snack.

thank you! stocking will be 13 rummy nose tetras, 1 pearl gourami, 5 nerite snails, 9 celestial pearl danios and a dozen of cherry shrimp

Hi hi! Bug update. Tank is cycled and stocked with a pearl gourami. fell in love with the little guy and couldn't resist. Here is the tank so far : I am also not going to stock Harlequin rasboras anymore but rather go with a larger school of rummynose. Any input on scaping, tips, etc.. Cheers!

LOL!   I have came accross this website that might countain the info you are looking for.   http://www.ultimatebettas.com/index.php?showtopic=40524

MAybe your Betta is actually a female?

See exemple here!  

ugh. Where I live there are about 10 in a half hour radius.. I'd send you some but yeah.. expensive shipping

thank you! Searched in crypt database and they are crypt wendtii I decided to plant them in the middle of my tank, mid ground

Hi! I bought a couple of plants tonight and the guy gave me a couple of these as a bonus.. he didnt know what they were tho lol. neither do I

Well I haven't done anything different no! I'm doing 95% water changes every other day, remedicate at the same time (a bit of aquarium salt, a bit of med + prime) and make sure the water is the same temperature than his tank.   He eats every day, pellets of various sorts, and I gave him a frozen...

Yeah I was actually thinking about reducing the school to only one big school of rummynose. Happier fish, and "tighter school". The main reason why I want gourami is because I want to "fill" the top part of my tank.   Edit: The more I'm looking at the pearl gourami, the more I'm thinking of...

It's true, I am just scared of losing a friend :( When my Betta got sick I was so sad! Now he's better tho :P   I'd get bamboo and Cherry because I already have some and they tend to be AOK with my fishes. I do lose one shrimp once in a while but they breed so much it seems to be all right. My...

Hi there!   I am going to stock my 46gallon tank this week-weekend, which has been cycled already. (hurray dirty filter!) Here is what I'm setting on:   9 Rummynose Tetras 9 Celestial pearl Danios 9 Harlequin Rasboras 7 Corydora Pandas 2 Bamboo Shrimp A dozen of cherry shrimp 3-4 Nerite Snails...

My native language is French, been speaking english since I'm 9 and started learning Spanish for two years but couldn't practice so lost it! :(

I found my rock at the local disc store. It was really expensive.   Joking aside, even if you buy online, won't it cost a lot of money for shipping?   I buy mine from a LFS and they sell them at 1$ a pound. I got some pretty nice rocks from there but had to search and go often! Same thing goes...

Yes! Exactly what I was thinking! This is why I was really wondering why in hell I had .25 ppm ammonia but no Nitrites, but had Nitrate readings..   Then I tested my tap water as well, to compare colors, and same color pattern, a bit under the 0.25ppm color, but not full yellow like the API card...

I'm not sure, I was under the impression that I should be giving the aquarium lots of light to succeed! I'll try to give from 4pm to 10pm and see what happens :)

But wouldn't I still be sitting at more than 12 hours of light?

Hi! I have recently purchased a timer and now I'm setting it to be on for about 10 hours as I have plants in there. I know that my tetras and betta prefer low light, and my plants as well, but I want to make sure that the plants do have enough light throughout the day.   The aquarium is in a...

Hi! I think I just saw my shrimp "doing it". There was this female who was with a male, male being really pale I thought he had died and the shrimp was eating it.. It scared me because I know that a dead shrimp in an aquarium isn't a good sign. Then suddenly: poof! The male and female part...

Guys, I'm cycled!!!!
