Looking for a good-sized amount of subwassertang, message me if you have any available :flowers:

I'm hoping a light exists for my Evolve 4. I found the kit light too dark so I upgraded to a clip on StingRay. Happy with the light output itself but there are a few issues. The actual attachment section seems bulky for this size tank, the power cord is short, and the placement of the light...

This sounds like a good event...I'm just happy because it's less than 2 miles from my house! Big Fish Deal 4

I posted this in my tank thread but thought I'd throw it past all the planted tank folks. This is a new Fluval Spec V that's going to be shrimp only and I want to keep pretty much low tech. What it looks like as of this evening: I originally wasn't going to do stem plants but I'm happy with...

I'm going to re-do my Spec 5 which is a shrimp only tank. I definitely want to have black sand and have 2 options: PetCo's brand or Carib Sea Tahitian Moon. I've used the latter and do like it, going with PetCo would save me ~$12. Any opinions on the PetCo sand?

When I re-did the Spec 5 I thought I got rid of all the scuds but that's definitely not the case. I have a decent sized shrimp colony and while it's growing I'm pretty sure scuds are eating at least some of the shrimplets. The tank has EC which I've never been completely happy with for a few...

I've never had Amano shrimp...could they be safely kept with a female betta and pygmy spotted rasboras (B. maculatus)?

I have probably 50-60 Endlers fry in my grow out tank and it looks like well more than half are males. After doing some research it seems sex of Endlers fry can be affected by water temp. Current temp is just under 78° so my goal is to get it down in the 75° range. Is there a safe way to do this...

The spouse and my middle daughter made the first trip to my ex's house to start going thru his things. Apparently he didn't get rid of anything, including the 3 tanks I had set up for my kids while they still lived there. I know there's an Eclipse 6 and a 10g; I'm hoping for help figuring out...

I picked up a 10g at the Petco $1/gal sale. I have absolutely nothing in mind for this tank so I'm looking for ideas. Current tanks and stock: 16g female betta green neon tetras peacock gudgeons forktail rainbows kuhli loaches 10g Endlers 10g least killifish red cherry shrimp 5g female betta...

I'm looking for some adult female Endlers, specifically black bar, orchid, or peacock. Pairs or trios would also work. Definitely want multi color as opposed to limes, oranges, etc. Thanks :flowers:

I hope it's ok to post this....my oldest daughter loves getting mail and collects postcards. She is 20 years old and has a congenital heart defect (three open heart surgeries before age two) and Asperger’s. If you'd be willing to send a postcard from where you live-or if you're traveling-please...

Like a few other members I decided to start a tank thread...one place for updates, photos, etc of all the tanks rather than multiple threads I forget to update :hide: I did some rearranging and moving over the summer so I now currently have: 16g 2x 10g 2x 5g 2.5 g I think the next step here...

In the bottom right corner of this photo is a stainless steel shrimp cave covered in moss. It's grown like crazy since I put it in this tank, strands are probably 4-6" long. I'd like to use some of the moss in another tank, is it ok to just trim off whatever I need?

Well established 20g, moderately planted, pH 7.5, water temp just under 78°. Current stock: P. furcatus, peacock gudgeons, pair of otos. I think I want to add something but I'm not sure what. Definitely no cories, plecs, or loaches. The furcatus are very much top dwellers, peacocks mid to...

I love my furcatus...their colors, the fact that they aren't shy, and they're pretty much all over the tank. I have an empty 10g and was thinking about getting gertrudae; are they similar in temperament/personality?

I have a group of peacock gudgeons in my 16g with a very definite 'top fish' male. Other than some chasing there haven't been any serious problems until now when I noticed one of my females has some significant tail damage. All the other fish in the tank are fine so I assume it's from the big...

I just noticed a pond/pest snail in one of my 10g tanks. It was accidentally squashed when I tried to remove it. The big surprise was as the bits were sinking my least killifish went absolutely nuts trying to eat it! Is this common? I know puffers and some loaches eat live snails but do other...

I know there's a show off your betta thread but let's see your betta tanks! I'm planning a small tank for the spouse's office since the Evolve I had been working on never made it out of the house :whistle: Always nice to see what other folks have done and get some ideas :flowers:

I recently bought 2 large pieces of manzanita. Earlier this week I broke off some branches to use in my smaller tanks. Boiled for quite a while and then put one in a 2.5g. Today I noticed what looks like dark fuzz on a couple of the ends. Any idea what this is? And should I take out the wood and...

I'm looking for new ideas for floating plants. I already use dwarf water lettuce, hygroryza aristata, Brazilian pennywort. I've tried hornwort, najas, cabomba, and anacharis in the past. Any other suggestions?

Got these in a raok package, both are doing great in a few of my tanks. Just wondering what they actually are.....

If you've purchased bettas internationally could you tell me how the transhipper thing works?

Any suggestions on where to buy a female betta online? I don't want to spend a fortune but I also don't want to simply buy 'misc female betta'. Thanks :flowers:

I'm looking for examples (photos) of tanks set up to be viewed from both front and back. This is for my Spec 5 build. We're in a 70s house, what we use as the living room would have originally been a living room/dining room combo, so basically a rectangle. My desk-where I spend most of my...
