Thank you so much!! I've been doing a lot of calling around. I actually just found a LFS that might be able to get anubias. If not this next order, they said they could get them at a later order date if there's enough interest. I'm going to hold out just a little longer. I appreciate it immensely!

I have been trying to track down seeds to grow anubias plants. No luck, so I'm here! Anyone have any that they are looking to downsize? I'm hoping to buy some clippings. I've had no luck locally. I also don't trust most internet businesses. (I've had bad luck.) *Plus, I'd rather buy from...

I'm curious, but has anyone had any success in growing anubias, pollinating inflorescences to seed, and then germinating them to adulthood? I've been interested in growing anubias from seed, but no one has them. I don't want a cutting from a rhizome. I supposed I could if I get desperate and...

I like to hit up thrift stores and garage sales. You can find pretty colored glass vases, bottles, jars, etc. The fish seem to like them, too. (Plus, if you can't get food to sink, it'll stay in the jar deep enough for the bottom feeders to find it and you'll know if they've eaten it or not...

We had the API master test kit and never ran out in the five years that tank was running. I am buying another one for my new tank.

The links are getting awfully annoying.

I hate the stuff, but our guppy fry had the best luck hiding in duckweed floating on the top of the tank. The parents couldn't really see them there. What are you feeding the guppies?

I always advocate more plants for a tank to reduce algae overgrowth. Keep away from windows, sunlight, and avoid overfeeding, too.

Though unsightly, pretty harmless. ^^^ *My snails used to love this stuff, but it didn't stick around long.

We used to leave for a couple weeks regularly. We'd do a big water change and feed once before leaving. We'd sometimes buy one of those slow release feeders. We never had any problems. Good luck!!

We just bought a tank, but I think I need to find a petco now...THANKS!

^^^Yep. Our marimos are ridiculously slow growing.

Looks like more and more java ferns in your future!

That's beautiful! I've always been a fan of the low maintenance plants, myself. One of my favorites was pennywort. I just love how different it looks and is super easy. Also loved bladderwort, but if you are raising babies or inverts you might want to skip the bladderwort. I'd love to see...

I would guess that if it isn't treated with anything, yes, it should be fine.
