Ok thanks! I ordered the Omega One Veggie Kelp Flakes!

Thank you! The live/frozen foods are sold at a shop a bit far away but I will see what I can do. Do you have any recommendations for brands that have spirulina flakes? And one last question, I am planning to upgrade to a 40 gallon breeder and get some pearl gouramis. What kind of diet should I...

Yes, I was thinking she might be hungrier. I am currently feeding them once a day with about as much food as they can eat in a minute to a minute and a half. I think I will bump this up to feeding twice a day. I feed them Omega One Freshwater Flakes.

Here are shots of the tank and the yellow glofish in question. Ignore my dying plants please. They are a work in progress...

I have a female platy who I've had for over a year now (She's actually the one in my profile picture). She is in a 20 gallon tall tank with a few other femal platies, 4 glofish tetras, 2 zebra danios, and 4 ember tetras. This might seem irrelevant, but I have a blue glofish, an orange one, a...

Ordered the NA Thrive! Thanks!

Thank you! In my current tank I do have Amazon swords, a java fern, a couple small Anubis’s, and some Java moss. The moss is growing great but the Java fern has gotten a little stumpy. I have a suspicion that it might be because I have virtually no nitrates in my tank. This might be totally off...

Thank you for the advice! Currently my lighting plan is a 26 watt hygger light from amazon, so I'd probably say I would need plants that want moderate to low light levels. However, if there are suggestions for better lights (preferably $50 or less) I would be willing to hear them.

I have had a 20 gallon tank for about a year and a half and I have decided to upgrade to a 40 gallon breeder. The filter I would be using is a Marineland Penguin 200, which has a filter rate of 200gph. The substate would be black gravel. My ph is around 8.2. I do plan on having plenty of live...

I know you said you were looking for fish, but might I recommend Nerite Snails. They keep all my tanks clean. I keep one snail for every 5 gallons.

I was thinking of plants that would grown in the water. The pond is in ground but it is a shell and sticks out of the ground about 4 inches. There are rocks stacked around the edge of the pond but they are easily removable. We are planning to get a few goldfish for the pond. Plants that offer...

I have a 125 gallon pond that has both shallow and deep parts. The deepest part of the pond is 15ish inches deep. The pond is very shady and only gets about 2-3 hours of direct sunlight each day. It does not have a heater and the average temperature of summers here is about 75-80 during the day...

Ok thanks!

I have a 5.5 gallon tank. It currently has 8 cherry shrimp and a sponge filter. It also a small Anubis, a crested Java fern, and a few juvenile normal Java ferns. I am wondering if a trio of male guppies would be overcrowding a tank of that size. I have a ph of 8.2 and the tank is cycled. The...

Ok so I caught one in a glass and have been watching it for a few minutes and it has not seemed to move. I think they may just be plant fibers.

Oh and the tank used to belong to a betta with fin rot who recently died. I never noticed any worms on him. I also added brand new driftwood that was boiled for 1 hour today. There were also new rocks added today that were very dusty. I rinsed the rocks off and soaked them in a bowl of water. I...

After doing a 90% water change yesterday, I noticed these tiny white things. I did another 50% water change today and after refilling the tank, I noticed them floating around again. I think they are worms because some of them seem to squirm around. I haven’t noticed them crawling around...

I am planning to start a cherry shrimp colony in a 5.5 gallon tank. Ph: 8.2 Gh: 6 Kh: 0-1 Is it possible to have a cherry shrimp colony with that low of a kh? Should I get some crushed coral or just give up on the shrimp and get a beta or something. I would really like shrimp but if the water...

Thanks! I was planning to do Andy’s method of adding them all at once will a little bacteria from a cycled tank

I have two honey gouramis that are both about 2 ish inches long. Can anyone tell the genders of these fish? Here are pictures The picture of the other fish

I have a cycled 10 gallon tank that currently has 1 honey gourami. I am planning to add 6 ember tetras as well. Is it ok to add all 6 tetras at once or should I add 3 at once, wait a week, and then add the other three? I would prefer to add them all at once but if that would overload the bio...

I recently picked up two honey gouramis from my LFS but now I’m not so certain they are actually honies. I have a suspicion that they might be sunset thicklip gouramis. I would say they are both about 1.5 - 2 inches. Let me know if you need more pictures.

In the tank there are 4 zebra danios, 2 GloFish tetras and a female Platy. I know I need to add to the number of danios and tetras.

I think you might be misunderstanding a little. The mystery snail’s shell cracked about 6 months ago and the nerite’s has cracked only very recently. The crackings were maybe 5-6 months apart. I do not take the snails out when I clean the tank I believe the gh is normal because I got an api...

You could also try raising the temperature to 27 c. That might help shorten the ich life cycle a little.
