denison barbs aka roseline barb aka torpedo barb.

RO water would be the easiest way to go. The LFS by me sells it to people. I never tried breeding tetras so I have no use for it. We have neutral water where I live. 100% mississippi river, only a...

Water sprite makes a good floating plant, give it time and it will cover the whole top of the water.

Congrats on the pickup!

He is stressed and will die. Once the organs start shutting down the body starts to bloat. Put him on ice (in ice water), don't let him get so bloated his eyes and fins pop out.

They try, they ask how big your tank is, and recommending only adding a couple at a time. You know adding too many at one time can cause an ammonia spike and so forth.

The thing with clown...

All the ones I looked at were colorful and healthy looking

The petsmart by me has a really good sale going. Clown loaches were 5.00 and Blue rams were 2.50, there were other fish on sale too but these were the stand out ones.

I like the Serpae tetras. I started with 6 of the long fin ones. Low and behold one was the normal finned variety. Skip to a year later and the short fin one is the last left. I got him 5 friends...

You can get the light if you want. But the limiting factor in aquariums is the co2. I have used flourish excel with good results. I add it a few days after a water change. It gets old to do...

I couldn't tell you how much they can produce. The wisteria you have looks alot like this other plant I've grown called water sprite. Like I said before if you can let the new shoots float at the...

They'll eat them, you need mondo cover. Or better yet stick with a shrimp only tank full of java moss and before you know it you will have hundreds of them. Then maybe throw some in your other tank...

You shouldn't need to upgrade the lights with the anubias and java moss. I'm not sure about the other two plants, if you can float any of them at the top they will grow like crazy!

Even if you...

I replied a couple times but then hit the wrong button. Thanks for the tips! I think I will like the harleys, I've had them a week or two in quarantine. No serious issues just some fin rot which...

You still had some chloramines in the water and it was irritating his scales. I add another quick glub of water conditioner when I see my fish doing that after a water change.

Larger schools would be cool. I've never had Rasboras before so well see how I like them.

Hi, I've had my tank up and running a couple years and some of my schools of fish are dwindling down in numbers. I want to try some new species. There's a fish auction coming up in a couple weeks,...

I think you'd be good with just the 2 sevs and ebjd. Add a Pleco and some silver dollars or Red hook silver dollars and you should have a pretty mellow set up.

Good luck! I have had pretty good luck with buying small fish from petsmart, probably the same mortality rate as small lfs.

I have the willow leaf hygro. It's very easy to grow. Once it gets too tall I cut the top 7-8 inches off and replant, it readily regrows. The remaining part of the plant I cut down to the bottom...

If your worried about it I would toss the filter for piece of mind.

The tank needs to cycle again since you left it without fish. You didn't say if you had any nitrites but you probably do and that means the tank isn't cycled yet.

I'm with those who want a pond. I've seen people even with small yards put in a pond with a waterfall. It was genius! They used all the excavated soil to build up a burm for the waterfall and then...

I hope you've been keeping your small trees watered in this drought.

It's best just to do weekly water changes and not worry about kh. The plants need carbon to grow, they adapted to aquarium life and extract it from the kh. Say your tap water has 80kh and you...
