I got 20 cardinal tetra Sunday, treated with salt and seachem paraguard and metropoles . I have followed the directions using a 10 gallon tank quarantine tank they're sharing with 8 guppies bought from the same LFS about 8 have died.

I'm going to use this as a learning experience. Do you guys have any idea what might be causing their deaths?

@Gestaltgal sounds like you did get lucky but you also invested a little more to improve the product, do you have a link that you could share? Thanks for responding btw.

[Something is growing on my Java Fern]

Hello everyone.

Does anyone know what these little guys are that are growing on my Java Fern? They look like little stick figures brownish in color.

Thanks @diabetus would you happen to have the link of what you got on Amazon? I'll probably leave it for the a future buy.

Gotcha so I'll let nature do it's self and hopefully the lighting I'm getting well help the plants grow.

@Rory Waliser @Streetwise thank you guys for your input. I think I'll wait a little bit before I buy a CO2 system. Been reading lots of really bad reviews of Fluval CO2 kit so if anything I'll probably use Cory's Easy Carbon instead.

Hi maybe you could try this light bulb

It's for growing plants and fits an incandescent light socket

Hello Everyone,

Im thinking about adding a CO2 kit to my planted aquarium and was wondering what y'alls thought was with this kit, what do y'all use and what would y'all recommend.

Thanks in advance.

@Odd Duck thanks a bunch for clarifying that.

I'm just curious of how the set-up of the nano sponge filter is? Like does it have an air stone, I've seen other brands and no room for an air stone in it.

Just starting this hobby.

Thanks in advance.
