And that's why U Is Da Moderator! I've been so tunnel visioned on wanting the hairgrass that i forgot about these. Thanks, eagle, fishforums has never let me down :)

yeah, i've seen how mischevious but also astounding hairgrass roots can be. (Seen them go between tightly knotted fishing line before) After some time I'm sure they'll find a way to pop up and invade the cubas. I might just not plant them altogether and go for the simple dry start cuba method or...

I'll be starting on a nano tank tomorrow and normally it doesn't bother me when plants start to 'mix' with each other's planted areas. But this time, i would really like to have a wall of dwarf hairgrass in the back while the rest of the tank will be (hopefully) carpeted with cubas. I really...

So i'm still relatively new to using CO2 for a planted tank. And the problem i have right now is that i just recently bought a drop checker for educational purposes and i realized that with the suggestions of how many bps i should use for my tank from shopkeepers, my drop checker is always...

Thanks eaglesaquarium, i sort of in a twisted sense wanted it to fail, because that's truly the only way i learn and never forget, and i was always getting bored of it (The view and the fequent dosing), but the next one should look as nice or even nicer once the water clears and some nice...

So i'm always eager to learn new ways of making a fish tank look as beautiful as possible but at the same time as cheap as possible.. So this was my first tank that i did about almost a year ago, substrate was leftover aquasoil of only a few kilos. So i had to use pumice stones which equaled...

Yeah i guess it could be because of old age, the other smaller ones are doing perfectly fine with molt scraps littering the floor sometimes. I think i'll do i a few water changes this coming week and not put anymore liquid calcium (for the shrimp specifically) anymore just to be safe. I'm pretty...

So i'm no expert on cherry shrimps, and even then i understand that its a lot harder to diagnose symptoms/diseases with shrimp than fish (So kudos to you guys) , but i hope this is an easy one for the people who've kept these little buggers for a while now.   One of my shrimps died today with...

I guess i'll have to go with uarujoey's (on youtube) way of making an injector. Coincidentally i still have a bunch of leftover filter batting that would be so perfect for chopping those bubbles even Fruit Ninja would be jealous. Thanks SamB,

Well actually it be nice to clarify with someone experienced, so SamB, this is what i think i'll be doing, and please, i would really like to hear your thoughts   Since its a 56 gallon tank, with easy plants, i'll start off with about 400g of sugar at one time. I have an infinite number of...

I don't know much about DIY co2 generators sadly, this will be my first go at it. Therefore there's not much choice but to read up on yeast & sugar from the internet. Although an old post in this forum enlightened me and i think i have a basic blueprint of what i'll be doing. All i know right...

Thanks DRB and curiositykat (if you're new to the forum then welcome!, take a load off, have problems? well this is the right place, we'll help anyway we can )   Right now my next step is a homemade co2 generator, so it'll be a while until my next photo. Just getting a little fidgety with the...

Although i've been here for a while now, I'm still in awe at how much the community here is so friendly and caring, its so easy to get side tracked and just wanting to talk about stuff, about anything and everything :)   Forgot to thank you TallTree01 and Nijouzata for caring, sincerely means a...

Yep, i have taken every safety countermeasures for every scenario i can think of, because i guess what can go wrong, will go wrong. My tank is so safe right now that i am one step away from getting police tape to create a perimeter around the tank and cordon off anybody who might get too...

I don't have anywhere near where i live that sells ammonia basically, and since the theme of my tank was 'budget'; i just had to think of the best things i can do with the stuff given to me. So the next best thing i could think of were danios from my friends store. He was selling them really...

Oh man, i'm so pissed at myself today. So as some of you may know, the filtration system of my tank was all done by me, which includes the overflow box and the sump tank. (It's in another post) But today one of my pink danios, being danios went to explore new territories and unfortunately got...

I would like to say the typical incandescent but that doesn't provide enough lighting for tanks anymore, so i guess i'll go with LED cuz i want one so badly!! (especially if they're strong enough to reflect the water ripples creating a subtle light show in the tank :) )   Makes you wonder...

I totally agree with you Jay, and at least i'm sane enough to not cross the borders of impracticality and just plain stupid. Actually, while i was reading your comment, a light bulb came up. I might move all the background plants from the left side and trash'em or move some to the right. I'll...

Thanks Joe, exactly what i was going for :) (My dorm is really brown and dull, so i needed a vivid tank with a lot of contrast, hence the sand and the grey rocks instead of brown textured ones) and also Thanks Jay, but I KNOW its not done yet. The hardest audience to please is myself, sadly

Yeah but i really like playing with depth. And i found out from experience that whenever i want a tank with 'depth' in it. Features required to make it very close to what have in my head will cost a lot. So i eventually concluded that budget tanks and depth are opposites of each other, or...

So i've just finished adding some danios to start my tank cycling, i just wanted to show an update to a few of my friends how its going right now. Although i'm posting pics, it by no means i'm finished with the tank (you can see that by the moss on the floor; just got too lazy to tie them on the...

Thanks Nobody of the Goat and Baccus, you guys' info definitely answered the questions i had about them. Honestly can't beat first hand experience with google searching. It also made me decide that i prolly can't keep these suckers. Oh well, at least i learned something. So, Thank you Nobody of...

I've googled these suckers before, and the info's mainly the same. Summing it up, they advise on keeping these guys in a highly oxygenated & high water flow tank. Some were actually saying that you shouldn't keep these in a community tank as well. I'm just curious whether anybody here has tried...

Never had much experience with cichlids, i'm more of a small schooling fish kinda guy. I guess i'll just have to wait on this one. Paradise3, the error you got could be when you want to place emotes by clicking the emote icon instead of typing it. That happens to me

I would agree with Paradise3, looks very much like a rasbora vulcanus, the faint red line along its side and the gold just above its stomach. Prepare your next pic Paradise3! :)

Ok, for the sake of a forum mate's future that is at stake, i think i'll be pausin' from the game for the night. (Don't wanna tempt you once i get the game rollin again, lol) Good luck with the exam MBOU, hope you A the F out of the paper. (Insert cricket noises here) lol :)

Since it kinda seems like we're the only ones that have been posting the majority of pics, i think i'll leave this one to other peeps. I feel bad now   I like how you changed the pic name though...YOU CAUGHT ME!!!

Oh my gosh i don't know that one lol!!

Its really simple really. You just start off with something really broad that you believe could be in that family. I just try to find characteristics of a fish i already know with the fish in these pics. Like for example, my picture of the Bichir can be seen as four things, a snakehead, a loach...

From Jimmy Carr, "Congratcha-welldone" to you, Paradise3, ya hit the nail on the head AGAIN!! You are good!! :)

So here's my pic, hope its not inappropriate, i just think its cute :)  

I got it!! The fire eel! I should've known this one earlier. Caught one of these in a river somewhere. The Mastacembelus erythrotaenia (Had to google the latin name lol)

Oh poop! My weakness!! I hate eels!! Definitely a mastacembelus though By the way is that a clown loach in the background? What happened to its middle stripe lol

I think DreamerTK got it initially, but since he gave us an ok on someone else posting; show us that pic Ninjouzata!!

I take back my post, i think it resembles the dwarf rainbowfish the most actually, just the blue backdrop is making me doubt myself a bit; can't see really the red fins. The pattern pretty much says it all though.

So, using my knowledge in cheating i guess. I had a strong hunch it was a rainbowfish, then i clicked the pic and realized its called exquisita. Sounds latin, so googled Exquisita rainbowfish and i got    Exquisite rainbowfish (Melanotaenia Exquisita)...is it that?

too round & too many patterns to be a tetra or a rasbora in my experience. I'm guessing its either a cichild or more towards a rainbowfish...

Wow that was fast, thought if i gave a juvenile nobody would get it, lol. Nice one MBOU, correctamundo :)

Gonna throw a curve ball here, might be difficult for peeps outside my country(Thailand), but its really common here.  

I guess it kinda does MBOU, lol. But do you mind if i went?
