    Plant questions!

    Hi, I have a very sad looking 200l Fluval Roma which I'd love to make a jungle of plants. I've got a 70cm piece of "talava" (?) wood which is soaking in a tub at the moment. It should take a few weeks to let it sink I think. As for plants, I'm not experienced with plants at all really. I don't...

    General questions

    Hi, I'm a bit confused about some plant related things. "Low light" - what does this mean? Is it the time the light is on each day or the type of light? I have a Fluval Roma 200L, only one of the lights works but it's very bright and looks as though both lights are on. Is this low light? I've...

    Did I score some good plants? Or at least decent?

    Last week I was on one of the Big Box Pet Stores, and they had a table of things that were marked down. Wellp, I saw some tissue culture plants marked 50% off, and decided to give them a possible future. When I got home and looked up the names, I started thinking I scored big, but now I'm not...

    Do I need plant specific substrate if I use liquid fertilizer?

    I know a good amount about OUTDOOR gardening, but am learning about aqua-gardening. Since most of the readily available planted tank substrates either look too silly, come in too large a quantity, or cost a LOT, I'm curious if it MUST be used IF I am already adding a little liquid fertilizer to...

    The Baby Java Fern Thread

    HI all! I did a search here, and noticed a lot of people ask the same question about their Java Ferns: WHAT ARE THE LITTLE LEAVES GROWING ON MY JAVA FERN? ... or... WHAT ARE THE SPOTS ON THE BOTTOM OF MY FERN'S LEAVES? I thought perhaps a catch-all thread about Java reproduction would be...

    Greetings and salutations!

    (I thought that would sound a little different than just "HI!") Unless you count the goldfish we had when I was a kid, I bought my first fish in August 2023, a white female Betta. In November, I bought what I thought was a baby MALE betta, but is now starting to look like a female! I don't...

    Do pet stores carry such bad stock that you should quarantine?

    I've heard that you should quarantine new plants and fish. Is this accepted practice in the community? If so, pet stores are in the wrong for selling such dangerous stock enough to kill fish. If there's instances where they sell sick fish or harmful plants isn't that animal abuse and shouldn't...
