Your tank is so pretty! I love all the greenery with the colors of your rocks!

The swords are stem plants that feed from their roots, so if you didn't use a fertilized substrate (so if you used just regular sand or gravel), you'll have to have root tabs for them. I can't tell from your photo what you used, but it looks like some sort of soil, so you might be okay. I'm...

Thank you, everyone! I'll probably go with a nerite snail - maybe some day I'll try shrimp! - and work with the eggs!

I'm looking to get something to clean algae in my 20 gallon high community tank. It has a betta (who's been super chill so far) and 6 ember tetras. I plan to eventually add in 5-6 small corys of some sort. My tank currently has only a few plants in it, but I'm going to get more when the weather...

I'm sure that's what he wants me to think! He's the loungiest dog under 5 that I've ever met!

Thank you both so much! I didn't expect it to mess with anything, but I'd rather be safe and ask than mess something up that's working just for the aesthetics!

Hey ya'll! I was wondering how difficult it would be to swap out substrate? I started my tank mid December with sand substrate to work better with plants and the corys I'm going to get. I thought white sand would be really pretty with the dark driftwood and the greens of the plants. And it...

I hope everything does well as the days go on, because that looks super cool atm!

"Is that a snail, or just food? Is it poop???" (It was poop.)

This is my rescue, Jax! He's really smart, but extremely lazy.

I'm new to planted tanks, but I've been having luck with Java Fern, Anubias Nana, and Bacopa Monnier. All three are actually growing little baby plants! Buceplants is an online seller and, when you click on a plant, it gives you a little list on how much light they need, whether they need CO2...

I really like how frogbit looks!

I've got 5 fire belly toads (Big Chonk, LongSkinny, Houdini, Frog1 and Frog2) and I love them so much, even if they're world class escape artists that require six screen locks and four boxes wedged under a shelf to keep them in the tank.

I'm just using one of those mesh 'reptile' top lids for my tank - I had it leftover when I moved my frogs to a 40g. (The mesh won't work with a hanging filter without cutting it up a bit though, but as I have a sponge filter, it's perfectly fine!) I do know most Walmarts have the screen covers...

I've only ever had fake plants up until this past December (and even then, I tried to only get silk fake plants!). I'm really enjoying the live plants I have now, and I'm excited to see some of them doing really well in my tank! It is a little disheartening when some of them die though :/

How I kept Alfred, a betta I had in college. He lived in an unheated, unfiltered fishbowl for two years when at school and one of those small square 'you can fit two bettas in here!' bowls when at home (then I got a little wiser and got a 1.5g (still not good, but. better), but still no heater...

I just got this boy the other day. He's unnamed as of yet and I'm not 100% sure what to call his color (google has me leaning toward steel blue, but who knows. His tail gimmers purple-ish when he swims though!) but I know he's a delta tail. His personality has yet to really reveal itself; right...

Heron I'm lucky I'm a bit of a packrat when it comes to 'accessories' because there was a valved t-split in the package with the air pump! I stuck that on and now it's all good! The bubbles are much more manageable and still doing their job! I think that's the quickest I've ever had an issue...

So I accidentally purchased a sponge filter that's a little big for my tank (it's a 20 gallon high and the filter is good for 'up to 60g'). I added a betta in and, while he's swimming pretty good, he's getting knocked around a little bit when he gets just past the halfway point of the tank, as...

I really like tetras; they're ridiculously cute and come in so many varieties! As far as corys go, I love the look of skunk corys, what with their single black stripe. Ugggg, how adorable
