Hello, I've been planting my 55 gallon with crypts. After they're done melting back, my crypt spiralis leaves start growing and then start curling. I've never seen this before. Can someone tell me why this is happening? Thanks, Magnus

I'm really sorry to hear about that. It probably wasn't the pleco as you probably would have noticed it before. To me, it seems that the most likely cause is something related to the swim bladder assuming that the water quality was good and he was in the correct sized tank. Go Twins!

I took the kit light from my 20 and am using it to grow plants in a 1 gal

It did Kylie Jenner lips challenge lol

Definitely

I'm sorry, to me it doesn't look like there is much you can do at this point as he looks quite bloated. Just try to make him comfortable.

Ok, I'll do that. Thanks

How small of sponge filters do they sell? I want a filter that is as low profile and least noticeable as possible. I have seen tiny HOB filters before.

Yes, I wouldn't ever consider putting a Betta in there. Last one I had lived in a 2.5 gal until I felt bad and moved him to a 20. So basically what you're saying is that I need a filter and heater for this to be successful. I mostly planned to get shrimp and luckily, I live near one of the...

Why can't the water be stagnant? I was planning on a no filter, all natural, ecosystem tank. Could I even do 1 or 2 cpds and some RCS? I need some source of nitrogen.

HI all, I'm finally putting my 1 gallon rimless cube to use. I'm using 1 inch of dirt with osmocote, called with 1 inch of black sand. I have some red stem plants in the back and I plan to put in some carpeting plants. Any recommendations on carpet plants, co2, or possible stocking? Thanks, Magnus

It looks pretty bad if it’s gotten to the point to where the fish has become lethargic due to its environment. I would strongly urge them to get a bigger tank as it seems to be 11-12 inches. Just my 2 cents.

I’ve had many guppies in my career and have had many genetic mutations, most of which were curved spines. Guppies have been inbred and bred so much that mutations are extremely common. It’s something you are sure to experience whilst keeping guppies. Don’t sweat it.

I mean I already have them and was going to breed to give fry to a friend who’s new to the hobby. I’ve seen many others use a 20 gallon for convicts. Why do you advise against it. I plan to have the convicts breed, raise the fry, and then switch if it is so necessary. Would Rams be a better choice?

They seem to be very skittish and swim for cover whenever I come near the tank. I’ve never experienced this with other new fish. Do you think they’ll calm down eventually?

HI all, I have always owned peaceful tropical fish and goldfish. Recently I’ve wanted to try something new so I took down a planted tank and got myself a pair of convicts for the 20 long. I did some research on how to breed convicts and set up the tank according to what I read. Does anyone...
