Rimmed vs Rimless/Framless Leakage
OfficialThomas replied to OfficialThomas's topic in General Discussion
Hi! Thanks for the info! I am wondering how the two kinds of aquariums hold up over time. Like is one kind more likely to break/leak? -
Hey everyone I just wanted to know if aquariums that have rims (and silicone) are more likely to leak or break compared to ones that have the rounded glass corner look. Thanks!
-
Hey everyone! So I have a 20 gallon high aquarium and I had it set up for maybe 1.5 years and then drained it and put it into storage until about 2 years ago. So I have had it set up for about 4 years. I am noticing some wear around the corners (see pictures) and have been so worried something might happen. What should I do? Will it be ok? Thanks so much!
-
Thanks! I added neon tetras, endlers livebearers, and a mystery snail.

Got it! Thanks!

Hi! I have some new fish to add to my display tank and I am wondering if after people acclimate their fish if they leave the lights on or off? And if you turn them off for how long? Thanks!

Any results with Easy Carbon?
OfficialThomas replied to OfficialThomas's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
Wow thanks for the detailed reply! Yeah I definitely don't have algae that is outcompeting my plants. Thanks! I'll take a look! -
Hi! I'm just wondering if anybody has noticed positive results with using Easy Carbon and how you got those results (how often you dosed, how much, etc). I have a planted tank that does not have that much algae and I am wondering if this will help deal with the small amount I have. Thanks!

How Long Between Fish Additions?
OfficialThomas replied to OfficialThomas's topic in General Discussion
Got it. I am hoping to drive to the Coop store tomorrow so hopefully the fish will be pretty healthy. Thanks for your help! -

@Lennie What a cool color of shrimp! Invisible from a distance but when you look closer there they are! -
How Long Between Fish Additions?
OfficialThomas replied to OfficialThomas's topic in General Discussion
Got it! Yeah I think it really helped to add the neon tetras and guppies first and then let the betta after. The betta completely ignores the other fish. I also have a planted tank and right now it is very understocked. Thank you! I already have some neon tetras and guppies in the tank right now and the betta is not harming them at all. The tank is definitely cycled (been running for a year) and has many live plants. -
Hi! So I recently added a betta fish to my 20 gallon display aquarium that has some neon tetras and some guppies. I want to add more neon tetras but I am wondering how long should I wait after adding the betta to add the neon tetras to my display tank? Does it matter how long you wait? Thanks!

Floating Plants On AC's Website?
OfficialThomas replied to OfficialThomas's topic in General Discussion
Thank you! I have Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus planted in my tank so maybe when it grows a little larger I will cut some off and float it! -
Hi! I'm just wondering if anyone has found/tried floating any of the plants on AC's website and if any worked out well! Thanks!

Betta Fish With Cherry Shrimp
OfficialThomas replied to OfficialThomas's topic in General Discussion
Got it! Thank you! -
Hi! I have an aquarium with 1 betta fish, some neon tetras, and some guppies. They all seem to get along well. I am wondering if I could add some cherry shrimp (6-10 shrimp for my 20 gallon tank). I don't need the shrimp to breed because I know the baby shrimp will get eaten. I also have quite a few live plants. Thanks!
-
Has anyone ordered cherry shrimp online? Any website recommendations? *Also I can't order from Aqua Huna because I live in Washington State. Thanks!

Ideas For Quarantine If Short On Space?
OfficialThomas replied to OfficialThomas's topic in General Discussion
Ok! Thanks! Happy almost birthday! -
Does anybody have any ideas on how to quarantine new fish if you are short on space? I am 15 and I really can only keep aquariums in my room but I also want to be able to make sure new fish are healthy by quarantining them before adding them to my 20 gallon display tank. Does anybody have a solution? Could I "quarentine" new fish in the display tank and just treat the whole display tank with meds? Thanks!
-
Hi! I have never quarantined my fish (and never had problems) but I want to start quarantining new fish from now on. I was wondering if you need the quarantine tank to be cycled. I saw the video Irene made on the aquarium coop channel about using a sponge filter but I use a hang on back filter in my display tank and I don't want to add a sponge filter. Does a quarantine tank need to be cycled? Could I use a filter intake sponge instead? Thanks!
-
I have not measured that yet. Sorry! Would that be something I should do prior to getting any shrimp? Thanks!

Hi! I have a sort of low PH (6.4-6.8). My tap water is 7 but I think items in the tank (driftwood) lowered it. Anyway I also live in Washington state which means my water does not have a lot in the water. Is there any shrimp I can get for my tank? Anything I need to do to create a better environment? TANK INFO: Size: 20 gallon high Stocking: 8 neon tetras, 3 guppies, 2 mystery snails Plants: 2 dwarf aquarium lilies, 1 Bacopa Caroliniana, 1 Pogostemon Stellatus Octopus
