I'm not the expert that you're looking for, but in nature plants have to deal with weather and shade and seasons. I would be shocked if one day of 1 hour less light would produce any noticeable difference. If you wait until the light goes off for the night before adjusting, they'd loose 1 hour...

I don't mind that idea, but they need a sand substrate, correct?

If this is rated at 2k lb per shelf it's likely similar to other shelving units that I have. If assembled correctly it's not going anywhere once you put some weight on it. If the space used to be a garage, it had to support the weight of a car and can certainly support a few fish (i know it's...

I have a new 20 gallon wide tank set up with some Platies that tend to stick near the top of the tank. I also have some nerite snails. I was looking to add another species of fish, but the Sparkling and Honey Gourami I was eyeballing also seem to like the tops of tanks. Are there other fish I...

Lol, congrats! Tank #1a is a go here. Picked up the 20 long, will be replacing the 10g but it may be a matter of time before the 10g has something in it again. Now I just have to figure out how to do the replacement. Moving the fish, gravel, ornaments, etc while having the tank end up in the...

Not my favorite, lol, but my kids like the colorful look.

I didn't think the 20 gallon would be the problem, more was worried about the 29. My setup is actually two identical bookshelves next to each other. Each is about 4' high, 16" deep, and 2' wide and they'd be sharing the load theoretically. The sides are each 3/4" thick and the top is 1.25"...

I'm considering moving from a 10g tank (my first tank since I had one as a kid) to a 20g long. I have zebra danio (including the glofish variety) and platies. I have many questions about the upgrade. 1. Equipment: I have an oversized (rated for 30g) HOB filter and 100w heater. Will this be...

I currently have a 10 gallon tank. I don't think an upgrade is imminent, but I'm entertaining some thoughts about it. It's currently on top of a fairly sturdy and bookshelf. The bookshelf is probably about 4' high and is is screwed into wall so it definitely won't tip. The tank sizes that...

It's only 10 gallon. With a 2/1 ratio that's 12 platy and 4 danio which would probably be too much, right?

I don't have a big enough tank for a bunch more females. Would one more help or not really?

I know there's a female somewhere in there because I found a baby (unless it's a baby danio, but I don't think so). Unfortunately my untrained eyes are seeing the same thing as you. I've learned that ideally you'd have more females than males for the mental wellbeing of the girls. If it is the...

Several months into this hobby now and trying to figure out what gender each fish is. I've read up on it, but in practice I can't get my fish to sit still and pose long enough for them to line up with the textbook. I have five total, each is a unique pattern so there are some repeats in the...

Thanks, moss sounds like a good addition, does it need to be on a rock or just tossed right in? Is it big enough yet for it to avoid being eaten yet?

I have had a tank going for about 6 months. It's 10 gallons and has 4 zebra danio and 4 platy. I was checking on them the other day and notice a tiny new fish! I'm not doing anything in particular to breed the fish and probably don't want to go crazy with a ton of them, but wouldn't mind...
