That's real tough. If the dorsal fin had more solid black I'd think Corydoras trilineatus, but without that distinctive coloration I'd lean closer to Sodalis.

I think I used to clean the gravel substrate of my tanks every 3 weeks or so, but I think it depends a lot on the species of fish, feeding habits, etc. Weekly water changes for sure though. I have jumped to team "dirted aquarium substrate" and I love it- but this is what I remember from the good...

I built a bunch of stands for my 40's and 10 gal hotdogs. I used very similar construction (and overkill of course- I was nervous too). Mine has stood up great.

Awesome! Somehow when I read the rules I missed that detail. I'm super new, so I haven't made the 50 post minimum to check out those options, but I'll definitely keep that in mind. Has the sponsorship been a successful for members here? Again, thanks for the info :)

I've done this before as well and it works great (IMO)

I do water changes all the time in a 40 gal breeder tank with three amazon pufferfish in it. In the beginning I just move slow when manipulating anything in or around the tank so as not to stress them out (preventing any puff ups). With time they've become pretty resilient to changes occurring...

Has anyone used "aquariumhub" to sell or buy aquatic plants/shrimp? I'm exploring options on where to put my plants and shrimps out there, but I am unable to find any reviews about this site and if it's reputable and/or safe. It's a red flag to me that this information is hard to find. Any...

My rainbow fish decided to try to eat a whole snail last week and choked. He is okay after doing the fish equivalent of "coughing it up" and perhaps he won't do it again (I have amazon puffers in that tank so snails galore). I think 95 % of the time you will definitely be fine- especially if...

Is the tank by a window?

Acclimating my new medaka rice fish then later giving my hognose a bath :)

I agree with all those who already commented, but I would add Montey Carlo (Micranthemum) to the list. It can take a little more time to get started, but looks really nice when it's established.

What are the water parameters of the tank (including temperature)?

I also have a love/hate relationship with duckweed as well due to having so many tanks and it spreading where I don't want it to. I just reference it as a possibility because in my experience it has worked fairly quickly if there is a spike or with cycling generally (hornwort is great too of...

Welcome! Java Fern tends to enjoy a gravel substrate, if that is the substate for your tank that would be a good fit. I would also recommend floating plants like duck weed (or even hornwort) if you can find those in your area. They will help the nitrogen cycle and are low maintenance plants.

Welcome! So glad you've decided to join Fishlore

Seeing those babies made my whole day. They look healthy and happy.

That's correct, sorry I misunderstood the original post about the water level. That's multitasking for you- messed with my comprehension :/

Greetings, So there is a lot of variety with plecos. Some are predominantly carnivorous, some exclusively wood eating, some herbivorous. I've had a lot of success with snowball pleco in my community tank. It's a 55 gal and snowballs stay on the smaller side. I feed him lots of blanched...

I have had success with cyanoacrulate as well. Definitely read the product label to ensure there's nothing else in it though.

I have found when my betta (Aries) decides to randomly stop eating that he's constipated. I isolate him with a blanched pea and the next day or so he's back to normal.
