    I have a few fish that are my dream fish but just not ready for. First is Blue Rams Second would be Apistogramma. For sure the one I the picture.

    I am no expert but it looks to me like a baby channeled apple snail. Scientific name is Pomacea canaliculata

    As far as a background goes you can paint it as someone else stated. However, there is the option of using static cling 100% blackout vinyl film as well. Just used it on my new setup that I started. Really like that if I ever want or need to remove it all I have to do is peel it off. It is reusable as well. Not expensive at all. I really think that making the background black will take your tank to the next level as far as looks go. Good luck in whatever you decide.

    My Amanos when I first got them hid all the time. They still do from time to time and move slow until I feed then they all come out of hiding. Nothing seems out of the ordinary for me with the behavior your seeing.

    I got to admit...I had to take a second look at the first picture. I thought aqaurium co-op came out with a clear sponge filter..🤣🤣🤣 Really nice tank!!

    @Karen B. Wow looks amazing. Had a few questions. What size tank? What plants did you put on the spider wood in the center? What substrate do you have? Thanks in advance.

    I agree with James as well. I normally get my fish into the qt, then feed. Wait 24hours and start the med treatment. I don't feed them again for 7 days when I do the water change. It has worked for me twice now.

    My grew really fast even in just gravel. Root tabs are a must in my opinion. I do dose easy green as well.. Just remember where ever you trim it will produce several more branches out from it.

    I have had dalmatian mollies for about 10 months. Never had a issue with aggression. All my other fish are much small as them as well and they always left them alone. If you do have a male and female they breed like crazy. The male is very dominant only towards the females. Never seen him chase any other fish.

    Welcome to the fish fam.

    Got some triming done, water change, and added some red root floaters. Also, added a sponge to the outflow of my HOB to slow down the water flow. Hope it helps with growing my floating plants.

    I tried looking for some on a few sites but did not have any luck. Even looked for other manufacturer light riser to see if they will work. If you find some please let me know.

    Mine stuck just fine without anything added. I cut the slit a little over have way through the square piece of foam. May it a tight fit at the edges as well. You may be able to use a day of super glue but may be a pain to remove later.

    Trying to see if any one has some ideas on how to rise a fluval 3.0 light higher above my my rimmed tank. I don't want to hang it but would like a riser to get it a few more inches above the tank. Please give some suggestions that I may try.

    Here is what I did on my aquaclear 70. Course foam with a slit cut in it.

    Got the itch again for some more fish. I just setup my 10gal quarantine tank and back at the med trio treatment again on these guys.

    @Danielinteresting for sure. I did not know that either.

    @Starburner This is straight from a blog post from Aquarium co-op. You can read the full version here. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/faqs/how-to-use-quaratine-med-trio Do not dose according to the box instructions. Instead, add 1 packet of Maracyn, 1 packet of ParaCleanse, and 1 U.S. teaspoon of Ich-X for every 10 gallons of aquarium water. (Ich-X does not stain aquarium decorations in our experience, but be careful not to spill it because it can stain your skin or clothing.) Let the fish soak in the medication, and do not feed them or change any water for 1 week. (If you feel you must feed your fish, wait until Day 4 or 5, and then only feed them very lightly.) You should keep the aquarium filter and heater on during this time. Also, aquarium lighting will not deactivate the medication. After 1 week has passed, change out 30% of the water in the aquarium. Resume feeding the fish, keep the water quality high, and watch for any change in symptoms. Added: Cory mentions in his video to wait 2 weeks and dose ParaCleanse one more time. 1 packet per 10 gallons. Wait 1 week then change out 30% water. I would then monitor for at least 1 more week while lightly feeding. Hope this helps clarify.

    Here is a picture of what my Pogostemon stellatus does when trimmed. I try trimming shorter so I branches out further down in the tank.

    Looks like stagehorn algea. Healthy Staghorn algae is typically a dark gray (almost brown), light gray or white color.

    I agree with @ange. I don't quarantine any invertebrates and I probably never will either.
  22. Garren
    I personally only surface gravel vac. Especially now that my plants are well established.
  23. Garren
    I don't have put experience as I have only quarantine my fish one time so far. I will let someone with a little more experience answer you question. I can however say it is nice to have a quarantine tank to run your new fish through the med trio. This will help reduce your risk of bring in a disease to your main tanks.
  24. Garren
    Cory recommended to me to have a black background on my Quarantine tank as it is easier to see any diseases that could pop up. I already had water in it so I just used a black trash bag then cut it to size.

    I have 1 bristle nose pleco and I have noticed him on the banana plant just cleaning. Never does any damage. You should be just fine.
