Okay, maybe I sound dumb, but I didn't understand anything you just said except plants don't really need nurient rich substrate! lol. Could you explain that to me please?

I have been reading up on subatrates to use for planted tanks and come across using kitty litter (special kitty in the red bag form Wal-Mart was the number one choice). I was wondering if anyone has tried this? Did it need to be washed first? Does it ever turn into mush? It would be great if it...

I have a 29 gallon tank and I want to put some low-light plants in there but I'm not sure what kind I need to get. My water is very soft and is slightly acidic. I will be grateful for any help!

Thank you. I was thinking the around the same thing. I just didn't want to do anything to hurt the little guys more than they are already messed up ya know?

I have recently decided to switch from gravel to sand and purchased some the other day. When I got home I noticed that my fish have ich. I bought meds, and raised the temp and all that, but I noticed that it says on the med. bottle to do 50% water changes every day while I am treating the ich...

Thank you

You could have a high number of nitrates in your tank. The best way to rid yourself of this problem is to clean you tank with a gravel hose and then test the water to see if your nitrate level has went down. I used to have this problem and when I tested the water I had a nitrate level over 40...

I have a friend that has fake flowers in her fish tank. She was told by an employee at a LFS that it would be okay and she has had them in there now for a few weeks and her fish seem fine. It looks really pretty and I was thinking about doing it as well but I'm scared to without knowing a bit...

No, my bettas sit on a desk by themselves

Thank yall for caring for Octavian's death. I guess his just was a freak accident. I'll just have to keep a good watch on my other two.

He wasn't lethargic, and he never acted sick in any way. I do bowl changes every four days and partial water changes every other day. His neighbor is a good foot and some change away from him. All of his finns were ripped and torn, and they looked somewhat knotted at the ends of them. I've had...

I have dwarf gouramis and rams and they get along fine. The gouramis stay at the top in the floating plants and the rams chill at the bottom of the tank.

No, it is a soft plant. I have no idea how he could of ripped himself up like that. But he just died in the last hour :(. I would love to figure out how he did this so I can keep my other Bettas from doing it as well

I have my betta (Octavian) in a gallon fish bowl with gravel, a little betta fake plant, and a fake little floating lilly pad. I went to feed him this morning and noticed that his beautiful finns were all ripped up. He has a neighbor betta, but I usually keep something in between them so they...

I have four dwarf gouramis, (one male) and they would chase each other and any other fish that I put in there (gentle community fish). I kept having this problem untill I read that they like to have plants that float on the water. I bought some and when I put the plants in the tank all agressive...
