what do cat fish in the state of egg look like :help:

how do you get rid of fleash colored snails that rode in on plants :help:

Tropicalfish Hobbyist, has a great article on keeping Centrarchids. Apr 2009.
You will need a large tank. American Sunfish properly kept, can reach a pound or more. especially if they are from the...

I'm in, 10g, Will not start until start date will post pic then.
Let the fun begin.

Don

Maybe anything under 20g. Bare tank to start.
Give enough time for fishless cycle, for those that can't seed.
I've got a 10g ready to go.

Don

Would bee nice

I've been thinking about a tank Stocked with:
Black and Red Phantom Tetras and Pygmy Corydoras

That white fungi will disappear in time. But it may turn brown before it disappears. My Cory grazed on it.
The Brown tint to Your water is most likely the peat. As stated Tetras like it. I filter...

Thanks for all the info.
I use Flourish twice a week and keep My tanks at 76df
I'm low light. My Anubia and Brazilian Sword do really well. Amazon Sword melts away.

Don

Trimming Hornwort, will the cuttings re root?

Don

Good to see this post. I've been thinking for awhile, that My Neons would be better off in their own tank. with some Cory as tank mates.
They may not be as brilliant as Cardinals, but beautiful...

As Dave mentioned.
It's important to take control of Your water, know what you've got coming out of the facet.
After each water change, I do a chem test on the water I'm about to age for My next...

Try and get a copy of Your localities annual water report. You may be very surprised at the changes that go on mouth to month.
If You test Your tap water today, do not count on it being that way...

Water changes during a FL cycle?? Will that speed the cycle? Explain...

Don

I think the AC 20 is the way to go! Much larger area for media and as You know You can adjust flow to some degree.
I go with what My Mentor tells me. 10ppm nitrate, is where I want My Tetra tanks...

Add more as You can.
You really got Me going to get a 20L for my Neon. Perfect tank as the like bottom to middle.
Take Your time. I know it will be a sight when You finish. As if any of us can...

All My Tetras do that. Serpae and the Black Phantoms the most.
I think they're deciding who's BOSS.
Or maybe a mating thing. I really think Boss.

Don

Any type of bio media should work great, just a house for the good guy's to live in.
Keep us posted on how it works for You.
It's a toss up on which of My Tetras are the most active The Serpae or...

I think it would serve you just fine. I'd get a media bag or an old nylon stocking and put some ceramics in the 5-15. Might just help lower Your nitrates. On My 20g high I run an AC20 and an AC 50,...

The AC 20 is a great idea. Adding that You could probably add a few more GP.
Bet they do look great together.

Good Luck Don

When I first started out I was told to put salt in My tanks. Then I found this Forum.
Check out the Beginner Freshwater Forum
"Dispelling some myths" sticky. It will answer all Your questions.
...

I'm pretty sure that Xray and Gold Pristilla are two names for the same fish.
Like Red Minor and Serpae.

Don

If You got the wood from the sound, You may consider soaking it for awhile, as it may contain some degree of sea salt.
soak change the water soak again.

LOL Don

Beautiful fish, cast of red in the tail fin.
Hardy, peaceful, middle of the tank fish. school nicely. Need a shoal of 6 min., 10 to 12 would be great. Very active fish.
I keep My Tetra tanks...
