Thank you! I had a feeling the moss would win, I might just have to trim it and embrace it....

Hi Fish Friend’s, This is my 20 gallon tank currently stocked with 17 rasboras ( espei and hengeli) and probably about 15 shrimp ( blue dream and red cardinal). Heavily planted, parameters are stable. It’s my first tank. Do you think it is fully stocked or can I ad say another 5 rasboras? Also...

Hi there, I am into week 3 of cycling a newly established planted tank. I was told to do 50% water changes daily for the first week as I used Amazonica soil which apparently likes to leak Ammonia initially. Now in week 3 I am changing the water 3-4 daily, I wonder if this is sufficient or too...
