    Welcome!

    The ziss never clog airstones are great! They produce small even bubbles and they only cost like 4 bucks!

    Those are roots. You can pick the tiny plants that they are attached to off and plant them in the substrate.

    Thanks for sharing! Those aquariums look amazing!

    Looks like an interesting project. I would suggest that you try to cross them with some albino bristlenose after you get a few spans of the white ones as this will strengthen the genetics. Just make sure to keep some pure ones in a separate aquarium if this messes up the line.

    I love my Co-op towels too! I use them almost every day. They are certainly worth 8 bucks!

    The plan you have in mind sounds great. The one inch per gallon rule works in some cases but not others so your best bet is to ask an employee at your lfs what would work and use common sense. I hope your aquarium turns out great!

    I also have a 20 long. I am currently trying to breed kribensis in it. I agree with Maggie that a small siphon is best to clean with. That aquarium looks great! Don't be discouraged by the loss of some fish (it happens to everyone). I would suggest trying some bronze or albino corydoras and some cherry barbs as both species can tolerate softer water and also provide some action and color in the aquarium. You might want to cool the water down a bit for the barbs though. You should also make sure you are getting the fish from a quality source and quarantine them just to make sure they are healthy so you get started off on the right foot. I hope this helps! Good luck!

    I love the tetra test strips they are quick and easy to use!

    You could probably grab the airline and gently lift the sponge filter to higher in the water where you can get it in the bag.

    Now that it has been a few weeks, I decided to do an update on the Java moss experiment. The moss has grown a bit and the snail is doing well. The water level in the jar with the snail seems to be lower than the one without a snail. This could be due to the location of the jars though.

    Thanks

    I have ecocomplete in a 110 with corydoras. I gravel vac about once every other month. Their barbels are in great shape.
  14. Levi_Aquatics
    Yep! Having fun is certainly the most important part!
  15. Levi_Aquatics
    I will have to try that out too! Thanks for the idea!
  16. Levi_Aquatics
    It will certainly be a challenge, but if growing it in small jars works, I will set up more jars and be able to make lots of moss with little effort. I am also planning on selling the moss to a lfs to cut out shipping costs and problems. Thanks for the input!
  17. Levi_Aquatics
    That sounds like a great idea! Should I run into an algae issue I will give it a try. Thanks!
  18. Levi_Aquatics
    Sorry that you aren’t feeling well. Nice aquarium!
  19. Levi_Aquatics
    Good work man! Glad you got more than 10! Also, your documentation of the process of breeding fish is great and very helpful!
  20. Levi_Aquatics
    Congrats!
  21. Levi_Aquatics
    Looks great!
  22. Levi_Aquatics
    I have been looking for a spot to put mine. Great ideas on this thread!
  23. Levi_Aquatics
    Yes. I guess it’s just a waiting game. Thanks for the input!
  24. Levi_Aquatics
    Looks great!

    I am trying to grow Java moss for profit is sunlight mason jars. I decided to put a rams horn snail in one to see if that helps. This could be a terrible idea and end up in a mess of algae, but I decided to give it a try. Let me know your thoughts about this please. I will try to give weekly updates. Merry Christmas!
