I’ve had my 9 gallon fluval flex going for a couple months and the plants have been growing great with fluval stratum, flourish, and lights 10hrs/day with very minimal algae. In the last week or so, almost all of my plants have begun to suffer of some sort of deficiency, showing black pin holes...

I've had my trio of Gardneri killifish in a heavily planted 9 gallon Fluval Flex for about 3 weeks now along with a pre-existing school of ember tetras and a couple Kuhli loaches. The killifish have been doing fine, but I can't help but notice that the two females are doing fine, swimming around...

I got one of those beamswork lights with a bunch of LEDs and it overkilled my 20 long.

Yeah, he looks a bit more red as you can see in the photo! Thanks!

He is indeed has a very odd personality. He was so focused on escaping from me when I was holding him on my bed. He kept jumping off my hand and tried to run away. Luckily, he's not too fast. I haven't had him poop on me yet. Probably because of his little hunger strike. Fortunately I just...

I turned the lights out for a few hours and look who decided to come out more vibrant than ever? Edit: I was just holding him and he decided to crawl inside my sweatshirt sleeve and was just chilling, but then he started spazzing out and running all over my back!

I can't really tell. He's still constantly hiding.

You are right! He is 100% about to shed! I decided to handle him against his will although he didn't really resist. I did it just to check him out and see that he was ok. All of his skin is super wrinkly, loose, and grey. Does that explain why he hasn't been coming out?

You probably won't need to sanatize. I would focus on water quality because dropsy is a symptom of an underlying disease, and not a disease in itself.

Thanks, I will.

I get it up to 80 percent around the middle of the night and let it dry out to 50-60 percent for midday.

Yeah, I've been trying to feed him rapashy, but I really can't tell if he's eating it at all. I can't find any poop because of how densely planted it is. I don't think he is shedding since the picture up there was 2 nights ago and he looks pretty vibrant. I know that right before his hiding...

Mine is around a year old and he is a male. I'm getting a bit worried for him now. For the first couple days I had him, I would wait until around 11 to handle him when he was out and about and he didn't seem to mind it much. Now for around 2 days he's been hiding in his little cave without...

Thanks! You seem to be right. He looks exactly like the red flames on google! I got all of it from a wonderful person on Craigslist all for $150! I look forward to spending more time on the reptile forums!

I finally got my crested gecko and full bioactive enclosure complete with plants. Meet Stokeley, my new gecko. Out of curiosity, do any of you know what pattern he would be classified as? Thanks, Magnus
