First thing I notice this AM when my aquarium lights turned on... my floating log is sitting on the bottom! Has this happened to anyone and should I be worried? And, why did it sink?

Yeah after it has grown a bit (more leaves) you can split apart the rhizome with scissors and replant, then each half will grow more. Just make sure each piece has a good bit of roots. And don’t bury the rhizome

My favorite tank right now is my 10 gallon planted betta tank, housing a female betta& nerite snail I don’t love my substrate choice from way back but I haven’t gotten around to changing it yet

I planted it a week ago in my 10 gallon because I haven’t found the balance of nutrients to light in my 29 gallon and also my 10 gallon is my favorite as far as appearance BUT just wondering if it’s going to grow too big for the small tank? Should I move it to the 29 or is it okay? The 29 also...

Okay this makes sense since I never put the haggard looking side facing up. Will try. Side thought- I wonder if a root tab or some fertilizer inserted in it would be a good or bad idea...

Sorry, typo in thread title Can you make a Marimo moss ball grow? How does it grow? A while ago I saw the video on how to propagate them and decided to try it on mine (only had 1..) but since then, all I have is two torn looking half circles that never really grew back into ball shape or ever...

I think all is good if you rinse it a few times in hot water

So I forgot to mention I did change my stocking in April so now the SAE isn’t out of the question as far as parameters/temp goes. Before I did that, I did have a few hillstream loaches in with my WCMM but they never grazed on anything but glass. Yeah I wish my old LFS was closer, all I can...

My parameters are consistently around 0/0/ For ammonia and nitrite and 10-20 for nitrates. Ph is slightly acidic and my water is on the soft side. I have the api liquid test kit so those are the only parameters I have access to. The tank is a 29 gallon and the light is a 30” BeamsWorklight at (I...

Awesome thanks for that info. I definitely think CO2 will be in my future so I’ll remember this tip! And start spot treatment on plants that have this stuff Thanks!! UV sterilizer, great tip :)

Thanks for the advice it does look like staghorn so I will look into a remedy as well as up my maintenance for a while. I imagine I also may need to get some CO2? I don’t currently use any CO2

Hey so I’m still have some issues with this stuff, and am not finding a true SAE. Is there anything else that eats this stuff like maybe otos? Nerite? Should I just grab some excel and do a spot treatment?

Nice fish and fish tank! Sounds like you got a pretty easygoing betta so I would not worry that he’s lazy. Looks healthy and happy in the photos!

Thanks for the suggestions! I know everyone loves cories but I’ve never had them! Maybe if I do a rescape of my tank and dumped more sand on my substrate I could get in on the Cory love. It’s a 29 gallon. I never really wanted cories before but I may have to try them out... Okay! I love the...

My recommendation would be to get a timer for your light and keep it on only for 6-8 hours, and on a set schedule. The fish may be stressed from the light on all night or biting his tail for other reasons and I think the timer will also help him too. Or maybe he got snagged in the filter? Not...

What would you put (if anything) with the following; I have- 12 neons 8 harlequin rasboras Also 3x amano shrimp and a mystery snail I’m thinking of going with a centerpiece if I have room. Filtration is a aqua clear 50 plus a sponge filter running on an air pump. I tried my betta in there but...

I think you can buy earthworms at a tackle shop however I don’t have personal experience feeding them to aquarium fish

Whale sharks!????!!!!!!! Very cool. Oh I did see one little jellyfish too. And the burn is already almost gone thanks to half a tube of aloe.

My family went on vacation to the Caribbean and I was able to go snorkeling for the first time! I was nervous (because I’m not a strong swimmer and also have a slight fear of the unknown in any body of water) but ended up snorkeling at three different beaches. It was so amazing (besides the...
