Well after all the talks here is update all is well didnt lose any fish so far plants and fish growing nicely. Shrimp colony is huge now to the point i started selling them as there is over 100 at any given time. Betta gets along with evryone still playing sherif if there is bullying among...

Well just went to store show them pics of all fish i bought and they said they are mollys apperently dalmatian molly and yellow molly i have one male and one female an they refused to take them back as they are afraid since they been with me for few days now that they may introduce some diesease...

Tnx and what do you think it might straighten or should i just cut it at bend and replant tips? Would like it to straighten before j cut it as i only have ,3 stems so dont wanna stress it need it to survive.

Don't think there are Molly's at least i didn't by any unless they throw them in by mistake. What color might be the one you think is molly? Not being defensive at all just doing what i can with what i have. I know its overstocked that's why i do weekly water changes try to have many plants to...

Ah you gonna make me go get water kit now even doe i said i wont bother i just spent 30min lokeing if i have somwhere writen in post or if i have taken pic of test and cant find it anywhere. All i remeber ph was 7.2 and was droping cause of mangrowe wood leaching tannins so was told to add...

If they were caught in wild i would think twice but as thing stands now no need to worry.

All fish is from domestic breeding for years now they are used to water parameters since they been breed in them for generations. There is no way i can mimic to extend they native habitat. If every keeper here does the same and its good why would i try anything different. Whom ever i talked here...

I know what they are all i know is that ph is 7.2 other i measured twice and they were good. Heavy planted, good filtration , weekly 40 procent water change and im not worried. As long as shrimps are breading im not concered as our tap water is good. Cant see in pic there is 15 more bacopas...

All the stores get young good lokeing girls to work and they have no idea what they selling she has a list but doenst know in what tank that fish is so no help there. And owner dont care he wont even answer his phone when workers call him he likes money that store brings him and he dont care.

Yeah they have no clue mate they gave me 3 difrrent names that it might be but nothing certain.

Well he is lawman in tank my male platy been harassing one female for few hours now trying to mate her. Eventualy she got close to Seamus ( betta name reference to Family Guy) and he started chaseing male platy away. Now she hangs with betta and no one is harassing her. Didnt expect this...

Cant remeber what tetra this is as store worker gave me few names wasnt sure exactly. He said they dont grow more then this that they had them in tank for 3 months now and no growth happened. I been lookeing online and from what ive seen might be ember or some other type?

I use this method for any plant that keeps floathing up and wont hold in substrate. Take peace of tootpick or plastic straw place it just under the plant in roots and wrap fishing line or green thread up betwen leaves and under straw to tie it of. Then when u plant stick tootpick undergravel or...

i was told its ludvigia repens or is it osme similar plant? Also they kept it floating so each stem is grown at 90% angle after planting them they are bend down at angle if i straighten them they just lean over again. Will they straigten in time and grow vertical toward light or should i trim at...

Tank size is 15g but with deep dirted substrate and rocks wood only holds 11g of water. Parameters i forgot dont have kit right now i know it was al within range when measured month aggo i dont keep up with it at all just do 40% water change weekly and dose declhorinator, fertilizer and bit of...

Agree with Willis post u need fast growing plants for sure to outcompete algae.

As long as water has enough nutrients and u provide some light to them they will grow. But need to know that you usually wont see any grow in first 2 weeks plant need to get used to new water parameters. I would just tie them to wood or rocks or use super glue and glue them. Regarding number of...

Well consider rhizome to be like trunk of tree you would not want to barry trunk in ground when planting. Rhizome is heart of plant needs light water movement exc if u barrie it it will go dark and rot very fast. I have anubias that has no leaves just rhizome and it grovs leaves but i have them...

Well he si doing all right so far chilling and hunting shrimps im thinking fact that he has only one eye migh be why he is chilled maybe he just deosnt see other fish as threat with one eye , just guessing have no clue how fish see with one eye. He was missing one when i got him it can be seen...

When placin anubias in substrate make sure to keep rhizome over the sand dont barry it if you do its gona die, Only roots go in substrate hard part where leaves come of you leave above it.

Yeah i have 5g thats cycling righ now so i keep eye on him if he gets agressive he gets new home, for now i keep him in community as he seems chill got few caves under rocks and he is chilling in them hunting shrimp fry. I was testing to se how he behaves with mirror and he run away and hide in...

I use led light and o had it on for 9h from 12 to 9 had algae problem and slow plant grow. Now i used plastic self-adhesive foil for glass to dim the light on 60% maybe and have them on for 12h no algae and plants grow way faster. Light in tank is much dimmer and always the same no regulating it...

I know that but when i get to store to buy fish today ( planned to get gyppys) they had none but that had this beta in comunnity tank with over 100 platyys and ksifos. Was told he is chill and i lokked none of the other fish had tail nipped or any damage and he was chill so i got him and some...

So i started community betta tank today just added fish few hours aggo and i wonder what typew of betta is this?

Must have missread what i wrote mate i finished drilling 6 holes and was gonna washup glass from glass dust and it slide down and broke ( had it standing up against the wall and shower head had to much pressure so it moved and fall down) i didnt break it while drilling holes.

I had lots of them in my cube planted tank with rcs and after i added platty and tetras never seen them again. And i have seen platty eating them.

Tnx guys :)

I would suggest to split hair grass if you going for carpeting effect when its all piled up like that in one spot gona be hard to carpet. Also not all of them are geting enough light so they migh go brown and die off. I made same mistake and mine died now i replanted again all spread 1.5 inches...
