Hi I’m not sure if I should post this here or to the live pants section but basically last month I started my first planted tank (six gallon) everything had been running smoothly until a few days ago when I got an algae bloom (green hair algae I think) I thought it was caused by too much excess...

Ok I don’t think I want something super insane (first planted tank and all ) cause I don’t want to get in over my head here, but I’ll definitely look into those plants as they all sound very interesting Ok at this point I’m probably going to look into finding a good 5 gallon tank haha since a...

I forgot about the dollar per gallon sales my family has been pretty much stuck inside for ages getting things delivered and such but I’ll look into that thanks Ok I’ll look into the others instead thank you

I have been doing research and what I’ve read is that the best option is to mix fast and slow growing plants, and oc to also be patient. I really like your tank it’s simplistic but also looks really nice and elegant

Ok thank you this is why I’m asking for advice here, I really want to use a 5 gal but all the ones I’ve found are out of my budget range. I also looked to local sellers but no one had anything smaller than a 10 gal (excluding >1 gal “betta” tanks) I’ll stay away from the Amazon swords and Java...

Your tank looks amazing I’ll look into those plants too I’m also trying to do a low tech tank so they’ll probably work for me too thanks for the suggestions I hope my tank looks half as good as yours

Hi I haven’t been active in a while but I’m having a bit of an issue and was hoping for some help. In about Feb/Mar of this year I got my first tank a 29 gal I cycled it for over 2 months then had some stocking issues. For the last 5-6 months I’ve only had 8 black neon tetras in the tank and...

Yes the tank is cycled, had a bit of trouble with it but it is definitely cycled now. As for tank mates black neon tetras and albino Corys share the 29 gallon thank with him. I did the test before but maybe I missed a spot so I’ll try the pantyhose test again. I’ll try and find some Indian...

So I’ve had my betta for about a week now and since he arrived I’ve noticed his fins progressively getting more tattered. My decorations have been inspected and I don’t really see anything that could cause this damage. My peramiters are good the tank mates are friendly and I no longer believe he...

Yeah sorry to say it’s just a silk plant from petco one in a three pack which I found to be a pretty good deal. I’m too broke to get real plants and the tank is big so I’d need a lot of plants if I was gonna go that route. But yeah sorry it’s just a silk plant

So she’s just a female. Ok good to know. Thanks for the help
