Welcome, nice looking tanks, really like how they`re planted. (For me a big plus is that there is no TV.)

Hi, I picked up a fancy trio a while back and they are doing fine. Last Monday I went to my LFS, he had no trios but had a couple of fancy females (no males of that type) the one female was expecting, lo and behold Tuesday am she had like 25 babies. (I put the babies in a 20L, and they seem like they are doing fine.) That same day an order from co-op showed up with some Easy Fry Food, that really helped with feeding the little guys. What I did seem to learn was when the female gets that back bend, that might be a sign of getting ready to birth?? I hope I said that right. I think you might want to go with a fancy trio.

Hi Colleen & Duke, Welcome.

My two cents, I like metal stands, not as pretty but will hold a lot of weight.

Thats a neat idea.

Yes, I should have said that, sorry. Yes, I`ve seen some of those. I maybe should have asked what their die off does to the water if anything.

So, you hatch some brine shrimp to feed a few fish and said fish pig out on them. How long do they live for and what happens when they die out?

I was going to leave this alone but, please give me an example of say a 20l with not too many or a lot of plants, would the type of plant matter? Will a plant use the nutrients fast or slow? (Must be slow, to see what happens in a week.) I know what you're thinking grow rocks instead.😮

Well yes, I've seen the videos, but I guess I`m stupid cause no one says how many plants in a given tank and I'm trying to put that into perception of 1 or 2 plants could be a heavily planted tank. So, if too much fertilizer is used then maybe get hit with algae? 😕

Maybe someone will answer this question that might help me understand more about plants. I don`t see or hear about how many plants are getting just one pump of fertilizer per 10 gallons? (Easy Green) I have 1 plant - 5 plants or 25plants. Let's say I have a 20l with 12 plants. (Say all 12 are low light - does that make any difference? (I`m not talking about roots tabs, maybe I should include them.) No matter what size tank, will the number of plants change? I hope I`m saying this correctly.🤔

Well, I have managed to kill Guppy grass somehow.😵 I guess I`m confused about when and how much fertilize to use even after I read directions. I did get a couple of guppies. I might also have to get a camera so I can upload pictures. (I can`t resize phone pictures.) cancel this.

ok, - nitrate 80 nitrite 3.0 gh 25 chlorine 0 ph 7.2 - 7.6

That light setup would scare me. I like the look of your tank, I can`t help with plants. Good luck with this project.

I`ve taken twice today, not too far out of whack, will check again tomorrow.

Will get some nerite snails today also maybe a few guppies.

Thanks for the pictures, that is so cool.

Well, I finally got pictures on da computer. How in the world does one resize to post? (This is driving me crazy.)

I didn`t know those could be pets? Welcome....I learned something today.

I wish I had some good advice to help but I don`t even have fish yet.😧 Welcome to the forums - lots of information here.

I don`t think I will ever have that problem. (If I could just get them to grow.)

So, I see filter/air stone from CO-OP, so how much in saving.

Nice, where did the base come from?

Hi all, still trying to save Java ferns. Also still trying to get pictures, (I have lots of pictures, can`t get them on to computer - maybe I`ll just become a drunk instead.) Just got more plants from co-op today, they look great. (I will try and keep alive.) Thinking about adding a few small fish/snails in three tanks? Hope everyone is having a great week.

I don`t know what might be high or not. (Only plants.) Many moons ago I never checked hardly anything.
