I've had some previous issues with Brazilian Pennywort. I went through a cycle where I would plant it, it would be fine for a few weeks, but then it would become uprooted. The stem below the substrate died/melted. So I trim it off, replant, and then the same thing happens. After I do this...

Hello, I have a Marble Queen Radican Sword. The leaves don't grow much more than 3 or 4 inches, they lay flat horizontally rather than growing upwards, and they die with age. That being said, it will grow new leaves at about the same rate they are dying. This has been going on for about 6...

The baby is in the red circle

I bought 6 or 7 (adult) Amano shrimp a few months ago from a local store with no ideas or hopes of them breeding. However, within the last week I've found 3 tiny/baby Amano shrimp. I've read that Amano shrimp are one of the hardest shrimp species to breed, so I'm a little surprised. My tank is...

On a per animal basis, which species produces the most waste out of these 4 -- nerite snail, amano shrimp, otocinclus, or neon tetra? Or would you say there's not really a clear winner?

He didn't say to avoid them, but he did say they have differing water parameters - which to me is an implication that one fish could be a better fit for my tank than the other. I just didn't want to make assumptions!

Okay, thanks. Sure, the GH is 150 ppm and PH is 7. Based on that, you previously recommended Paracheirodon innesi and @AdoraBelle Dearheart recommended the Danio margaritatus. So do you think I should avoid the Danio?

Based on previous recommendations, Celestichthys margaritatus and Paracheirodon innesi were a few I was considering. Any thoughts on an appropriate quantity for my tank size? Thanks!

My tank dimensions are 35.43" x 11.81" x 11.81" and it holds about 21 gallons. I've decided I want to go with a 1-species tank of fish that are about 1" in size. I have a few options I like that should fit my water parameters, but I'm more hung up on quantity right now. I've heard 12 is a good...

Now I'm curious - why did you change and what's your current dream fish?

Thanks everyone - that's very helpful!

I saw this fish at the store, and it was labeled as a Green Fire Tetra. After more research, it looks to me like this is actually a Green Neon Tetra. Can someone confirm what fish this is?
