    its just a bacteria/fungus, and it is non harmful. it is absolutely normal with spider wood, and it will go away on its own. to speed it up, you can pull it and wipe/rinse it off, or fish will also nibble at it. its unsightly, but dont worry about it.

    yes, i should have worded my response better, i get new crypt leaves popping up all over.

    they absolutely will root deeply in gravel. have them in my 120, and if you crawl under it and look at the bottom of the glass, it looks like someone spilled a giant pot of spaghetti. 2-2.5" of gravel is sufficient .

    you would have to alter the flow in the aquarium, but in the end that just moves the poop around. ive also always noticed the area in front of and below the intakes for my filters tend to collect a bunch of solid waste. its just one of them things.

    so true, and so sad, and im saying this as someone who had an aunt who wore a beehive until the day she died.

    purple is supposedly about the hardest color to keep pure in guppy's. purple dragons, i saw a tank full of them once, marked all sold, and they were very cool looking. i would have bought a trio or three of them, they are a great looking fish.

    just a wild guess!🙈

    plus or minus 2 or 3 degree's i dont worry much. after that it starts to be a concern. colder moving to slightly warmer isnt so bad, but warm moving to colder can really shock them. so more than a few degrees put them in a bucket with water from the tank they are coming from, and add a little water from the tank they are going into every few minutes . for a small difference, it likely wont take 15 minutes or so to ease them into the temp change.

    ive never noticed my panda garras going after bba.

    is it exposed to a lot of natural daylight coming through a window? green water is often triggered by that hot intense daylight coming in through a window.

    spiderwood is the best bet for not turning the water colors.

    its subjective. i used to have 5 SAE's in my 120, and they were just fine, but i had lots of plants they liked to lay in. only issues i ever had with them was come feeding time they would just push their way into the food. they werent aggressive, but they were getting in there and eating!

    ive not tried it, but i dont see it ending well for the chilis.

    driftwood is not hard to keep. you cant over feed it, cant give it too much light, and it doesnt care about water parameters.
  16. lefty o
    im just going to say nope, not a good idea.
  17. lefty o
    not assassins.

    do you need an air stone? maybe, maybe not, but one thing is for certain, an air stone will only make things better, not worse.

    ive had a few black skirt tetras go 9-10 years, and a pair of bronze cory's, one made it 14 or so years, the other one is still going strong at 16+.

    glass tops will hold most cats without an issue.

    some times just stopping can cause them to be troublesome, and you found the cure.
  22. lefty o
    i would have zero concerns netting out of 1 tank, and instantly plopping them into the other.

    you can use just about any amount of filters you want, or any combination of filters. there is no single rule that says you must run X amount of filtration per gallon. so many variables involved. you can always adjust flow of your filters, add filters to what you have, or change them for something else.
  24. lefty o
    as per forum rules, aquahuna, or dans fish.

    just keep in mind the bottle directions are a good average tank starting point. so you might need less, or you might need more. pick a dosage, and keep a good eye on the plants for 3 or 4 weeks, and adjust dosage as needed.
