You need to test how solid these two cabinets are. If they don’t feel flimsy, ask three adults to sit or stand on top. My guess is they can hold the weight without issue. As mentioned above, framed tank needs four corners to be supported. Specifically two short edges. You might want to find...

Agree, you definitely need to vacuum the gravels if there are substrates.

Really like what you have addressed. True, I consider Plecos as algae eaters and try to use them to control the algae. Because I also have molly fish they are doing the favor as well. So I didn’t quite think algae growing is a huge issue for my tank. But I did read some input from above and...

Gold algae eater Thanks for the suggestions guys, appreciated! Will buy some snails first

12 hours a day with a timer. Thanks for the reminding, I think I searched that little guy. How many do you think I’ll need for a 36g? It’s not huge problem, I just want to make a balance from the very beginning. When you keep fish you don’t solve problems one by one, you predict the issues and...

I hate CAE now cuz they killed one of my molly. Not sure about GAE. I do have a couple snails in the tank, but that doesn’t seem to be enough. Any ideas? Thanks Btw, don’t want Plecos since they get huge. Even albino ones I think will grow up to 10” correct?

So you get buy one get one free? lol I think any plant would be beneficial, you consider aesthetics when your planted tank gets crowded

When top fin is down, it means this guy is under stress. I spotted the same on my black molly and treated her immediately. Carbon will absorb chemicals from the water, including medication. That’s why. It looks you are on the right track.

I think too many people trust the test kit too much me as a 1 year fish keeper, lost several fish at the beginning of my fish keeping life before of lacking knowledge of cycling. Then I never lost one, except illness (very occasionally) and killing from other fish. You have to observe how fish...

large fish will eat small ones livebearers expand fast you will have a full tank of guppy/molly/platy when I sold my 55g, I took 20+ fry out, and left the rest 60+ in the tank, plus 5 adult molly and 3 adult platy so if you keep livebearer, it would be fun to watch them giving birth and grow but...

Have treated my fish with API super ich. Instruction says dose, wait 48 hours, dose, wait 48 hours, then water change. I noticed you did the water change after first dose, which is absolutely wrong. Also, raise the water temp a bit to 82+ which helps with the cure. Don't forget to remove the...

Wish I could have some snails to control algae.

If you are talking about the plant next to the center one, it does look like what I have. The leaves tend to grow larger. What's interesting is Meijer doesn't even have moneywort on their website and in-store. I have cut the stems and removed the heavy thing so they can float on surface. I will...

Thanks! I’ll treat it as Rotala for now and search for the care tips.

I uploaded the picture right after posting the thread

Bought it from meijer, store person didn’t know what it is... assumed to be rotala. Anyone pls?

Found this outside my main tank. It moves by bowing and stretching, one side will lift up and explore. It has small legs on two sides near the ends. I don’t know what but it is, but does it have something to do with the aquarium?

He was a little picky. When was in the main tank, he shared bug bites with molly and platy. That was not Betta good and they prefer different ph environment so I eventually took him out. Now I literally have no idea. I don’t want to feed him fry so I will starve him for a few more days and...

I’m now a bit confused. He was in the 55 gallon with molly and platy fish. Probably ate a lot fry that I was unaware of, this was the only thing I was suspecting for this not eating issue. He was doing fine in the past few days, except for not eating anything that I know. I tried to put a...

All of a sudden, he started to build the bubble nest after I moved him from the 55 gallon community tank to a 3.5 gallon living alone. He seems to be happy, ate a lot, but a couple of days ago, he started to build the bubble nest, and stopped eating... I bought a female for him that day, but...
