Hi, guys. I've had a couple of guppies for 3 weeks, and the male is doing fine, but the female is not eating much. From the beginning it was like that: The male would eat, the female would spit out the food, and keep searching. When first introduced in the tank, the male would be near the bottom...

Alright, I'll keep an eye on the leaves. As it's new, many can still die, and I don't have a very clear idea of what healthy looking leaves look like. And thanks for the trimming advice. I have a habit of letting things run their course.

A low effort approach. Perfect. Then it's done! Thank you

Hello, I got this dwarf water lily from Marcus Fish Tanks, but I don't know what to do with it exactly. Is this many different plants? Should I separate them? It's currently sitting gently on the substrate (which I would need to make much deeper if I need to plant the lily in it.) It doesn't...

roots should be buried. Here's a pic of mine. Some are buried just at the roots, some a little deeper (don't go too deep), and one is not even deep enough (though it's doing fine, so I won't move it).

I guess only if you want to count bubbles. I use yeast DIY, and by the time enough pressure has built up, it's full of water. At its peak, the water is pushed out completely. I can't complain. It's cheap. Hahaha.

I really couldn't find any information online. I've never used it for plants before. This website offers some information on its usage for fish, fries, eggs, and dips. Maybe you could do the dip for the plants? But a regular treatment with methylene blue takes days, so I'm not sure how...

I don't see algae in the picture. Aren't those Crypto Wendtii "red"?

As for the brown algae, it if it brown algae, it's not harmful to fish. It could be caused by an imbalance in nutrients in the tank. Honestly, I find it impossible to measure each and every nutrient in the water. If you're already providing good care to your plants, I recommend scrubbing the...

I'm currently keeping a loose Java Fern "Windelov" leaf in a glass of water to see if it will just die or attempt to reproduce. I'm starting to get a fuzzy edge. It seems promising. The second leaf still has a tiny bit of rizome, and I think it'll be fine, but it's also growing tiny roots. So it...

After roots, leaves will be developed. You can take them off the "mother" leaf when they're big enough to be attached somewhere. You can also let the leaf die off and release all the babies into the tank, like what happens in nature. But you'll find some of them stuck in the filter intake. Once...

My first instinct is to blame the lights. If it's growing up, it's looking for light. Do you have full spectrum lights? Not all LED aquarium lights are meant for plants (sadly).

I think that sounds feasible. I've been looking into shrimps for my tank as well, and there's a 1.3 gallon on youtube with 6 shrimp and "more coming". Though it's from last year and I can't seem to find an update. But it's been done! So that's good. Edit. This is the original video: And in...

Welcome! =)
