I put him back in the substrate this last Wednesday. I trimmed the roots back to a little over an inch.. we'll see what happens :-D

thanks daizeUK..   sounds like some genuine advice.    sounds like i mad a mistake. :/ 

ughh.. really? its roots always come up out of the substrate .. it seemed like it wanted to be on something??   i've had it buried in sand for quite some time now.. it never looked bad..but just did't seem to flourish as much as it should.   i should bury it back? or have i already killed him?   :(

i've just transplanted my aquarium plant to one of my dirftwood pieces.    i've been wanting to do this for a while seeing as how the research i've done seems to say it would be beneficial for the plant.   experienced transplanters; please give me some feedback as its my first try.   fingers...

suggestions please!!   Right now, my 15 gallon tank holds 2 emerald cories, and 1 juli cory.   Now I know I know.. i'm supposed to have more of each cory species. I did have more, but due to fatalities over time.. this is what I have now.     I just had a dwarf gourami, that passed due to an...

i've had my 15 gallon tank cycling for over 2 years now..    i have now have only 3 cory cats. 2 emeralds, and one juli. And 1 dwarf gourami.     i had two of each, but here recently, after purchasing a dwarf gourami and a banana plant the other day from a local fish store, my other juli...

i think im going to go gourami ! thanks ya'll!

thanks for all the advice guys! i think at this point im leading more twords a dwarf gourami. should i get a male? or does it matter? ]

i thought about those too.. i know they are fine with being alone.. but the tank size i would agree might be the problem. and that they might be a little territorial with my cories.. ?? ?

anything with 'fighter' in it, doesn't sound good for my corys... lol wait a minute.. are you talking beta??  ..i was thinking about that..     but then i was unsure...

right now i have 4 emerald cory cats, and two juli cory cats. ideally i would like to acquire two more julis.. i'm just waiting on my local fish store at this point..   i have a 15 gallon tank.. all natural with a couple plants and a few nice peices of driftwood...   i would kindof like to get a...

right now i've just just been using leaf zone liquid plant food.. and my tank seems to have decent current , tho the corner the wisteria is in is a lot more still than other parts of the tank,, its only a 15 gallon. i'm using a flora light. 10- 11 hr light cycle

all the plants that i have listed above i have in my 15 gallon freshwater tank.. with my 4 emerald cories.. and my 6 male guppies.. i've been haveing trouble keeping plants lately it seems all besides my anubis on lava rock is the only one that seems to be thriving. I've only have the others in...

okay so i need some suggestions, or some help. I LOVE having real plants in my tank.. BUT the last few kinds i've got lately have died.. and i bought them thinking they were reliant and didn't need anything special.. but both kinds i got died within weeks.. (guppy grass, and water lettuce ) i...

so i bought a handful of really decent looking guppy grass from a really good local fish store about a week ago.. i planted some of the pieces in my sand and floated most of it.. and im sorry to say, its all pretty much dead! what did i do wrong or what could i have done better?

hello.. in need of some opinions.... i love all parts of my fish tank.. but one of my favorite, i have to say, is my plants. i've been thru a few different species... but now im just working with an anubis on lava rock... and guppy grass.. i'm thinking of changing my lighting to something more...

thank you guys for all the awesome input!! makes me excited to see what all possibilities i have when it comes to the shrimpies! i just really hope the little critters don't eat my plants!! i have the option to get cherry shrimp or ghost shrimp.. i've been told the cherries live a lot longer?

so i have a 15 gallon tank with 7 male fancy guppies.. 4 emerald cories.. and i am looking into getting some cherry shrimp. i had an apple snail for a while and she just recently died and im looking to replace her "cleaning" abilities in my tank... BUT i want to be very careful on what i choose...

its not offending me at all.. i just want to do whats best! thanks for all the helpful information!

really??? should i wash it off or leave it there and let it do its thing?

So i bought a couple pieces of mopani aquarium wood from a local pet store... soaked it for what seemed like a month and compleatly switched my take to a much more natural environment. after a few days of having the wood in my tank it started to develop what looked like white fuzz all over it...

well thats the thing.. i'm trying not to over feed my guppies but i don't think my cories are getting enough... i need to do a tank change tonite but i don;t wanna clean up all of my cories food off the floor of the tank!

thanks so much!what i needed to hear! ;)

hello! just was wanting a few suggestions on my emerald cories.. i just got four a couple of days ago and they seem to be doing great! i also have 8 fancy guppies tho.. and when it comes to feeding time.. right now, the guppies seem to be eating their food as well as the cories tablets.. any...

what do i do with it then?? keep it forever? ? ?

im needing some suggestions on the best way to change my filter. I have a 15 gallon tank with 8 fancy guppies and 4 emerald cories... i've pretty much had the same filter in there for like 4 months, i just clean it weekly and re use it.. is there different way i should go about this? should i...

i have heard all of those things, friend. i think i am ready :) thanks!

yes!?

put the vaccum end in the water... bring it back up allowing some water to go down the tube.. pinch the hose to that there is still water in the vaccum part, and in the hose a bit.. thhhen, the most crucial step, put the vaccum end back in the water (WHILE STILL PINCHING THE TUBE) ALLOWING...

anyone have any tips? i know all the basics about cleaning it and putting it in... but is there anything else i should know? thanks.

anachris and temple plant are the only ones i've bought so far.. but i'm getting ready to kind of redo my tank and i really want to try to get some plants that my apple snail wont eat! i was thinking about getting some java fern, but i don't want to waste my money if she's just gonna eat em' all...

okay! so! today she is up and about moving around and chompin' on stuff like normal.. but, i did notice that one of her antennas is shorter than the other now...maybe my guppies were picking on her and she was just injured? i don't know.. anyways, as of right now, she seems to be alright :S

right on.. thanks for the pick me up.. i thought they had long life spans an i was expecting her to get really big... i was crying this morning! i felt like a bad fish mama! :( .. still makes me sad..

no odor yet... and when i reach in to get her out of the tank she goes back in her shell.. so shes' still alive, right? uughh.. poor shelly..

i just checked my ammonia levels and everything seems to be normal.. but she still hasn't moved and is still kinda laying out of her shell.. i dont know what to do.. if she's still in the same spot tomorrow i'm thinking i should take her out? right? ... but then what? !

i have 8 male guppies, in now a 15 gallon tank ( moved them from a 10 gallon ) and i noticed this last nite and she still is acting weird. just barely hanging out of her shell, but when i go to touch her she goes back in . . . i don't know what to do.

shes never done this before! all night she was in the same spot, hanging out of her shell a little bit.. i went to reach for her because i thought she was dead, and she went all the way in her shell... i went to the pet store and got some wafers because i recently changed to a larger tank and i...

things are looking better today! they're all swimming around like normal! .. but for long term.. should i like, get a female of a different kind to help and prevent breeding? or would that be pointless?
