I saw The Wet Spot but I’m afraid Oregon is not much better than Arizona. Dan’s might be a good option

Living in Montana is a wonderful thing. I wouldn’t live anywhere else…and I have. One big issue is shipping. Everything takes longer to get here….everything. Where I live there is no overnight shipping.. Where I live two day shipping is three days..this is a real issue when shipping live...

My wife has wanted shrimp in our 29 gallon tank ever since we started it about 5-6 months ago. We started with Ghost Shrimp since they were the cheapest. We struggled with the first few as they all died within a week or so. I had some issues with the tank that I believe I have taken care of...

Unfortunately no on the light

29 gallon tank. Been running for about 4-5 months now. A few plants in front are new. Less than a week

Seachem Flourish

Started fertilizing about 2 weeks ago

What is the crown?

Most here will be able to identify this plant. The other plants seem to be doing well but for some reason this one generates brown leaves. I’ve recently started fertilizing but that has only been going on for about 2 weeks now

Ran across bamboo the other day. Did a bit of reading and sure enough there are different thoughts as to best take care of this plant in your aquarium. Any input here?

It happened so suddenly. They were fine one day then the next morning they were going crazy. They simply jumped out

Whatever the problem was it literally happened overnight. They had never acted that way before. Nothing changed that I can think of outside of adding a few new plants

Frustrated. When I was involved with the hobby years ago I always had Kuhli’s. Never had a problem with them. In fact they were always one of my favorite fish. So when I decided to get back into it I of course needed Kuhlis. They were doing very well. I watched them grow for about 3 months...

So I’ve never seen this with these Kuhli Loaches I have 3 that I got pretty young. They are growing and seem happy. Lots of places to hide. This morning when I turned the light on the were going crazy. I thought it was the light but they’ve never done that. 8 hours later and they are still...

There are a lot of places for them to hide. There are some days I never see them. Someone said this is normal behavior for them. It’s never happened until this morning

When I turn on the light to our aquarium the Kuhl Loaches go nuts. I’m afraid they are going to hop right out of the tank. I’m attempting a well planted aquarium so I need a good grow type light. Wondering if there is such a thing as a light that takes time to turn on to full intensity...

I have a few plants that are above the substrate doing decent. I wanted to get some plants started in the substrate but I’m having a time first off getting them to be planted in the first place and second staying there. I get up in the morning and there they are floating Any tricks to get...

Template Request Help Tank size: 29 gallons tank age: 6months pH: 7.2 ammonia:.25 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 0 kH: gH: tank temp:78 Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): Slight clamping of dorsal fin. Tail slightly clamped as well. ‘Flips out’...

It says .0001% copper The ingredients say it is derived from copper sulfate. It also says it’s safe for invertebrates like shrimp but doesn’t say anything about snails. I’m not sure I want to use fertilizer of any kind. It just doesn’t seem like something that’s safe for fish.

I’ve looked but can’t find anything. I have a livebearer that appears to be showing some sort of ailment. She flips out on one particular leaf. Her dorsal fin is constantly down. Her tail isn’t full but somewhat folded in. Here is a pic

I’m not sure if I’m right on this but I thought copper was bad for some fish and especially snails. I was reading some ingredients of a popular fertilizer recommended here for some issues I’m having with plants. One of the ingredients was copper sulfate. Anything to be concerned about?

I picked up some frozen bloodworms. I heard somewhere someone had success with that. Not sure what that may do to the condition of the water though. I asked the lady at the pet store and she said she would give me all kinds of pest snails. That’s not really what I wanted to do. I got the...

29 gallon tank I have 3 Assassins They have just about exhausted their food supply. They’ve done a great job. Problem I have now is what to feed them Any suggestions?

I don’t really like the idea of adding fertilizer and chemicals to a tank if I can help it. I might try though As far as light I can’t really give you a lot of information outside of what was already mentioned. Wife bought it for me a few months ago and I really don’t know what it is. I do...

I am a beekeeper as well. Been doing it as a hobby for about 10 years now. One thing I learned early on was when asking for advice you could expect 10 different answers from 10 different people. I’m learning this hobby is no different. Basically find what works for you using the advice...

29 gallon is all I have a couple pieces of driftwood and a handful of plant right now. Plants are doing okay. A little brown but as I understand it a bit of CO2 should fix that. I know there are many resources out there giving advice on plants. Thought I’d pick some brains. Not looking for...

Maybe tech support can move this to the tech support section.

I have a technical question regarding posting videos. Not sure where the thread should go. I’m attempting to post a video from my iPhone. I get a message that says the .mov format isn’t supported. I find that odd as I’m sure there are plenty of users posting from iPhones. At any rate do I...

I was doing a water change, filter cleaning and water testing today. My PH has been hovering around 7 pretty consistently. This time it was up around 7.4 or so. I know this isn’t a big deal but I thought I should look into what might be causing it. In my search I saw some discussion of...

I’m not really at that point yet. I need to make sure my aquarium is in good shape. I’m in a location in the country where a local pet store is an hour away or more and those aren’t all that good. Unfortunately the big block pet stores have put all the good locally owned stores out of...

I will have to locate my water hardness results. I tested the others using API’s kit and although I can’t give you exact numbers a were virtually 0….the ammonia level might have been slightly elevated to .25 but I believe my water is in good shape. I sounds like it all comes down to hardness.
