[Tips to reinforce my aquarium stand!]

Fill the cubbies with books that fit tightly, top and bottom cubbies. If you don't care about looks get a sheet of hardwood that you can put in the cubbies to take the wait. They need to fit very tightly

The photo in that last post reminds me of the Ammania gracilis I bought from AC once it was fully submerged.

Oh I think you're right! Thanks so much!

[What is this plant?]

Also can someone help me figure out what this one is?

A Ludwiga Species maybe...

It may be red ludwigia repens! I'm leaning towards that more than other things now. Thank you!

[What is this plant?]

I think the leaves are too broad to be that but it does look similar

[What is this plant?]

Just trying to identify this. The person I got it from couldn't remember what it is.

[Is this hydra? Baby cherry shrimp?]

The Co Op has a good blog post I found so I am doing what they said in it and I'm starving out my fish for a few days

[Is this hydra? Baby cherry shrimp?]

This is my first experience with it so I just wanted to make sure. I do have platy fry so I'll look into medicine. I have ramshorn and a few bladder snails so 🤞 that they'll help. Thanks!

[Is this hydra? Baby cherry shrimp?]

Can anyone identify what this is and if I need to get rid of it?

[Limiting output flow on AquaClear 110]

Cut and shove a long piece of coarse foam into the intake tube. Added filtration/bacteria capacity and it slows your flow

[What are these?]

I'm hoping someone can identify and add a little advice on some plants

[Future tankmates Ideas!]

Honey gourami, Betta, or angel fish could work too!

[Tiger Barbs & White Cloud Mountain Minnows]

Tiger Barbs are amazing and only get nippy with each other if they are unhappy. But with wcm... They will pick on them quite a lot. Usually you only keep other fish with tiger Barb if they are bigger than them, in my experience. I have tigers with yoyo loach and they've sorted their differences and are GREAT together!

Oh! Also plants like pogostemon octopus are really good for tiger Barb. Mine use them as cover in the evening and night time.

[How Far Is Your LFS?]

LoL nope Logan Utah

[How Far Is Your LFS?]

Mine is like an hour and a half. Live in a 55k plus city and a very small aquarist presence

[7.5 Gallon Aquarium ideas]

Haha that's really funny 😂

[Your Favorite Most Rare/Exotic fish you own.]

Rock Catfish! IDK if it's rare but it's my rarest

[7.5 Gallon Aquarium ideas]

I know this isn't super unique.... But a really good looking Betta in a 7.5 just looks 👌👌

[Centerpiece fish for 40G breeder suggestions]

Honey gourami

[Vertical Tiger barb]

My barbs do this in the bubble streams ALL the time. They are used to river and swimming against flow so it is not uncommon for them to do this and be perfectly healthy

[Very bloated green tiger barb]

Of it is a female it could also be that an egg is stuck. It is untreatable

[What do Rock Catfish eat?]

Yes a rock catfish! I was surprised thinking it was likely a stone catfish. He is VERY shy. Only comes out from about 12-7am

[What do Rock Catfish eat?]

So I recently rescued one of these rock catfish from another hobbyist that was overwhelmed with their semi aggressive tank. I am not sure what this thing likes to eat.... Please help!

[Pea Puffer Food recommendations?]

You can always pre-crush the snails... May be too much for some but it works

[Picky Pleco?]

From what I've seen it sounds like it's just a preference. My pleco only ate the wafer if there was nothing growing on anything else. If you're feeding multiple things at the same time they'll eat what they like least last.
