My HUGE sword plant...might have to cut this thing down...

The Bristlenose...thought these were supposed to...

Thanks. And you can have a South American/Amazon type tank with harder water. My water is on the harder side. Of course I have a ton of driftwood that might help it out. I have 19 neons still....

Wow I haven't updated in a long time. I can't even keep track of how many fishies I have b/c my swordtails keep reproducing like crazy. I did see a neon eat one of the fry so hopefully those little...

I haven't updated in awhile as I have been pretty busy and lazy.

The fish are doing really well. No deaths in a long time. *knock on wood*

Here is my stocking...and I think this is it for...

You have to. It's such a rush...even if you don't find anything. The biggest rush comes after you leave a location and you start going over your recordings and you hear things that you definitely...

Well...I ended up buying some more neons to finish out my school. I now have 19. I lost one more but the population is now thriving. They are really active and eating.

I have at least 4 swordtail...

My female swordtail just had babies!

Great looking tank!!!

The neons were not hardier. I lost 4 (they did give me ten the one was hiding). The 6 remaining seem ok. I have 5 on one side of the tank and 1 on the other. I was hoping the one loner would make...

Well it would cost me about $25 in gas to take it back so it's staying.

The cories are now loving the sinking pellets. As do the other fish and especially the assassin snails.

We ended up...

I'll try and post some. I've worked the last two days (6 am until 8p and 9p ugh) so I'll try.

Had some casualties. I've lost two ghost shrimp. No biggie if I remember correcctly those things...

It does look an awful lot like this fish. It has the red tipped fins and a black strip running down it's body. I'll try and get a good pic of my fish for you. I doubt this is it though.

Good to...

You know I think my white clouds are just regular white clouds after all. They had these and the golden ones and opted for the darker ones. Maybe they aren't anything different after all. I think I...

Well I have fishies!!

I ended up going to Aquarium Adventures in Columbus because they had Assassin snails and I needed those to put a dent in my pest snail problem. While this place is not the...

Now the arduous 80 - 90% water change.

Cycled!! Of course I have to work all weekend. :(

Thanks 15 ml it is.

Yeah I'll definitely post pictures. The plants are getting out of control so I have to do some serious pruning. Two of my plants my cabomba and another wispy plant are now...

I think I'm almost there. I've been testing at 9pm (or 10 if I get home from work later).

So out of curiousity I tested around 2pm (bored).

Ammonia 0.25
Nitrites 5.0
Nitrates 80

So did my...

Still in the cycling stage.

Ammonia 0
Nitrites 5+
Nitrates 20+

nothing's changed. I am adding 15ml of ammonia daily as my ammonia level is 0 after 24 hours.

My plants, especially my...

Unfortunately it won't be possible to test until either before I go to work at around 4 am or after I get off which will be after 9pm most likely but now that I know the 24 hour rule I'll change my...

Cool thanks!
.

Admittedly I am not a patient person so I am hoping my cycling is progressing as expected.

Here are my water parameters and if someone would be so kind to tell me I'm on the right track and give...

Tested my water today:

Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 5+
Nitrates: 20

So I am going to dose again with 15ml ammonia (since I did 30 ml originally) and retest tomorrow when I get off of work.
