Hello, my boyfriend and I have had this tank for 3 years. It's a very well established 20g long tank with 4 glowlights and 4 neon tetras. We also have a clown pleco, a pair of GBRs, shrimp, and snails. Everyone looks fine, acting normal, and eating very well (you can see some brine shrimp...

So I have a 90litre tank that I planted up well over a month ago now, I used fluval stratum and they have been growing great 👍 However the fluval stratum obviously brings down the KH and PH in my tank which I thought would be fine with shrimp (CRS in particular). However since adding my CRS and...

I have a single rainbowfish who started showing some grey patches on one side not too long ago. Also had a white dot on his tail. I figured it was a fingal infection and dosed the proper medication. The white dot on his tail went away but the grey patches have gotten a bit worse. Anyone know...

So my friends know I love shrimp (I have a happy little colony of ghost shrimp) and were trying to be sweet and got me 2 bamboo shrimp in a 10 gallon for my 21st birthday (I have no prior experience or nearly enough research to be ready for them but even I know that's way too small) along with a...

So I have three Mystery Snails that seem to be doing fine, but yesterday I noticed my blue one is just hanging out of its shell not doing anything. Yesterday it was on its back doing it. It was near same spot I left it last night and this morning when I checked it it's still alive. I placed it...

Hi all, I'm pretty new to having a planted tank and the aquascaping hobby in general. I have done a fair bit of research, but it always seems to get overwhelming pretty quickly, but I am pretty determined and will keep increasing my knowledge. I decided to give it a go and bought a Juwel Rio...

Hey everyone, I've been thinking of slowly shifting the time my lights come on and off. Currently, they come on at 8 and turn off 30 minutes after my Co2 at 6. I work full time, 8-5 so I don't have much time to view my tank when the lights are on. I know both my fish and plants have a...

I set up this scape yesterday because I was tired of my old one but I feel its missing something in the left side. What do you think I should put? plants, wood more stone?

I have been looking into getting some plants for on top of my water, such as duckweed or frogbit. I have read some people say they are more of a pest than a purposeful plant. What are the Pros and cons? If I did get some I would include a ring to contain the floating plants in the top of my...

Welcome As a mediumly experienced shrimp tank keeper, this super tiny :icon_roll tank is a bit of a change for me. At 4.6 Gallons without considering the mass taken up by the substrate, rocks, and wood, and plants this guy requires so much attention it's stressing me out a bit. So, I wanted...

Hi guys! This is my first post on here, so sorry if I'm not in the right spot for this question. I'm looking to make an aquarium bonsai for my 10g betta tank. Problem is, I have no idea what moss to use for the "leaves". I know I don't want java moss, but aside from that, I've been bouncing...
