    Out Of Control Amazon Sword

    I have an amazon sword that had completely outgrown my 10 gallon tank.  Can I separate some of it to leave in the 10 gallon and put some of it in my 55 gallon?  The 55 gallon is my cichlid tank with sand substrate...will my plant survive there?

    Fluval 406 And Water Changes

    I finally installed my first canister two weeks ago.  It is now time for my first water change.  I normally change 50% of the water.  According to the user manual I can't operate the filter with the water more than 7 inches below the rim of the tank, and I will be below that.  How do I turn off...

    Water Conditioners

    I use Seachem Prime.  It is effective for both chlorine and chloramine.  I don't know if it is available in the UK though...maybe someone from there can chime in?

    Thanks, Byron.     I want to restock, just not sure how to go about it.  Sounds like I should just just medicate the tank before getting more fish?     I have some metronidazole powder now to treat the tank.  Instructions on the jar say to treat the tank for 5-10 days...what do y'all think?

    No one is paying attention...my tank is very much cycled...ammonia reading out of the tap is already 2.0 ppm.  Any idea why?  Hard to get to a tank reading of 0 ppm when tap water is 2.0 ppm!    I have two other tanks.  Ammonia is always 0.50 ppm after water changes and no problems with either...

    Meaning, the current inhabitants are eating the former inhabitants.   Byron, you may be onto something by mentioning the wood.  I acquired the wood at the same time as the fish, as a matter of fact it is still leaching tannins.  I'll up the water changes from 50% weekly to 50% daily.   It could...

    I am a reasonably experienced fishkeeper (15 years) but I am stumped by something that has recently happened to one of my tanks.  Maybe someone can see something I am not seeing.   Three months ago, I stocked my 38 gallon tall, which has two large pieces of mopani wood and a few plastic plants...

    Guess Who Turned 2 Years Old Today!*pic Heavy*

    Nice...I've always been curious how fast snakes grow so thanks for the information.     About 15 years ago I looked into getting my son a snake but I couldn't stand that the pet store was feeding their snakes live mice.  Just couldn't do that.  We got a bearded dragon instead.

    Rehoming Fish ?

    I just took mine back to the store I bought them from...call first to make sure they have a space in a tank to put them in...don't expect any compensation!

    Snails And Shrimp

    I have a bunch (and I mean, bunch) of red cherry shrimp in my 10 gal tank.  They really love the live plants in there!  Also I have 3 harlequin rasboras in the tank...they don't mess with the shrimp.   Can I add snails?  What type?
