Conflicting advise is never in short supply any where. I guess really just watch them and you'll know what's best. :)

Good luck and to your dad. I don't know the article that you mention but I've read before that they don't eat algae, I disagree.

I love them too, it's so funny really. I get so attached to them. Lol I also bought some purple on eBay because I couldn't find any locally. The sellar sent extras incase of....... She sent white and blue also and they all survived and I love them all! Too funny.

People, including me, forget that it's really no different than , say lions. It would be understood there, but fish have the same "animal" kingdom.

I don't heat the tank. Although it is in a room with a pellet stove in the winter so it isn't around 50 degrees or widely swinging to 90 in the summer but before I decided on fish again I looked for the specifics of the conditions. The tank will vary a few degrees but not drastically and all...

Hi, I have one just plain ordinary pleco. Lol it was basically alone in a tank of fake ivy for three years. I never did see it. It was tiny tiny and wow how it's grown.

I like Cory's too. I went to the store to get some and they said they have a sale on weekends. Buy one second is a penny. Since I'm not in a hurry and yes every penny counts I can wait a couple of days. I really liked the panda Cory's. They were tiny because they're babies and I know they'll get...

Can't help with the how many guppy question,but what a great daughter you are. I don't have an adult child but I would wish for one as caring as you seem to be.

No recommendations sorry just wanted to say that I love mystery snails and I've never seen them eat plants. I've only ever seen the brown and yellow in stores.

All is now peace and harmony. The white clouds swim at the top, the neons toward the bottom, the red nose in the middle. Occasionally they all get together in a big group then split off again. The red nose are quite funny.

Hi. I have fake ivy in there which seems great. I had aquariums forever but then got away from it for a long time until recently. I only have a few fish in it but I think I like it that way. I have decided that I like the little ones. I added some red nosed tetra and I love them. Lol they're so...

I always had a fish tank of one size or another and put whatever I thought was pretty in it. Growing up we always had a fish tank and that's what was done, I can't be the only one. The last tank I had I gave the fish to a business owner that had a huge tank (and an aquarium service) because I...

New aquarium set up, but older and different, maybe not wiser. :) definitely new to the forum.
