    My BF had a big issue with stag horn and fixed it by decreasing lighting and adding 3 otocinclus and 2 amano shrimp. Before: After:

    Personally, knowing corys, I would not pre-seed sand. I would not want to risk the ferts fast leaching into my water column. This goes doubly with corys will dig down until half their body is under the sand to check out a smell.

    I couldn't pass up this mystery bulb plant from my LFS. I got it half price from the other known bulb plants in their order. It's growing fast! *The leaves are red when they first sprout but turn medium transparent green after they are bigger. *The leaves are 2 to 3 inches max so far. Any ideas?

    That sounds like fertilizer. The first time I saw them it alarmed me a bit - I thought they might be snail eggs lol

    I understand that and I agree that lowering the ph slowly and slightly is good. But I'm concerned that I'll crash the ph too fast if I use these wood pieces. 😬

    I've been rescaping and replanting my 29 gallon. I bought two new pieces of wood to add in and have been bucket soaking them for the last 3 days. I was curious as I watched all the tannins leaching so I tested PH of the wood bucket water against my normal tap water. Tap water: 8.0ph Wood bucket water: 6.4-6.6ph My tank water runs about 7.8 after 3 weeks without any water change, so the difference is obviously nominal. So, my question is: do I need to be concerned putting these new wood pieces in my tank? I'm a bit concerned that the ph will be lowered too much and hurt my fish whom are well used to the much higher ph.

    What a nice response, thank you. They were very pretty fish for sure with very deep midnight blue sides but the fins were a pale to medium orange.

    Firstly, I do not have a picture, sorry. I was at my LFS a few days ago when a tank with very large CPDs. I mean far larger than any CPD I've ever seen. They were 2" and chubby, very mature looking fish. When I inquired why they were so large I was told they are a hybrid between "Emerald Rasboras and CPD". Due to the size of these fish I thought the clerk meant Emerald Eye Rasboras, but now I think they were talking about Emerald Dwarf Rasbora. Can two tiny species produce such a big size difference in offspring? I know it happens in other animals but was still very surprised and puzzled. Is this done on purpose?

    I have the Finnex 24/7 Planted for my 29 gallon. It works pretty well.

    Hello Aquachris 😊 yes that's the Aqueon cube. It's my boyfriend's tank and with Petcos rewards he got it for only $6! Here's another pic:

    Of course I'll tell you. We cut back on light to 50% or less. There were two lights on this tank, we began only using one at a time and cut light to 6 hours. We also bought 3 otocinclus and they are cleaning up the algea.

    I suggest several pea puffers with a few guppy dithers.

    14 gallon heavily planted cube with 4 pea puffers, 2 male endlers, 2 kuhli loaches, 3 otos, and a bunch of cherry shrimp. As happy as can be.

    My juvinile CPDs went from frozen baby brine to finely crushed Bug Bites when they were ready/hungry enough.

    I put it in the snail tank and haven't seen it since, but if I spot it I will keep your tips in mind. I'll try and update then
  21. Jdogtrainer
    Thanks everyone! I'm not certain what I'll do, but I'm leaning toward cutting it back to see how/if it recovers

    I got these flat, spiral shelled snails in an order of azolla. From the side they look like rams horn but they are flat like a plate.
