Aquarium Co-Op is the way to go in my opinion; Every plant in my tank comes from them. Their shipping is ridiculously fast, and the plants 99% of the time always come in healthy. Depending on when you order and the weather encountered during its trip can all decide it's condition upon arrival...

Yours look so good! Mine is planted in the back Right side of my 40b and I have to regularly trim it or it will get out of control,. It's also placed by a planted water wisteria plant that I also have to trim or it will overtake even more than pogo lol

I'll agree, your tank looks great and you're doing very well. You have to do what's best for you and your tank. There are many, many opinions out there so take what you feel is best suited to you and build off that!

Not sure why my mind skipped over hornwort haha. Great advice

I'd say you could probably keep it in there for now until you're able to get your hands on another real plant. Cory located out of Edmonds Washington. I trust them full heartedly, and most of my plants have came from their shop. They have fast shipping and plants always come in great condition...

A few pics of my old ghost shrimp I had to Scour my old photos for these lol

Do you happen to have a picture of the particular ghost shrimp you're referring to? That would help a lot. Ghost shrimp are usually used as feeder bait to larger fish and can grow quite big. During feeding they can be aggressive to each other and other smaller shrimp, but they should definitely...

Looks like a combination of all those things, fish poop, algae and dirt. Silk plants in my opinion are never a good idea. They offer no benefits to the tank and unlike real plants they won't eat up and use the Detritus that settles on them. Plus, since they are silk and thus a material, they can...

Do you have any plants in there? Plants will help a lot. And honestly, even with seeeded media, It could still take up to a month to cycle. Plants will tell you when the tank is cycled though. Grab some cheap floating plants, will mostly speed the process up.

Awe thank you! I really believe that this was a One of a kind shot. As soon as I noticed it I got extremely excited ran and grabbed my camera and luckily he was still hanging around. Most of my shrimp molts are like you said, always found on the gravel LOL. It was complete randomness, to see...

Thank you!! :)

Thank you! Much appreciated

Yes I feel the same! Yesterday I walked up to my tank to just look at it and check things out and as I walked up and looked at my Amazon sword plant a red cherry shrimp was literally breaking out of his exoskeleton at that exact moment, it was so cool to watch, but it happened so fast I had no...

Thank you! It held on for almost a day before they knocked it off to start eating it lol

For me, I'm not saying that it can't happen, but I'm saying that if done carefully and properly it should never happen. I have never had a single shrimplete get stuck or die in my course filter. I always take my time when pulling out my filter, and as soon as I even start lifting it up to put it...
