Yesterday, I put together a new 29 gallon aquarium. The idea was to plant it in such a way that it would require minimal trimming due to most plants being non-stem plants (samolus parviflorus red, and a few types of crypts, so heavy root feeders). Only some stem plants toward the back, and some...

What is good anti-snail medicine for a heavily planted tank (that currently only has plants, no fish) to nuke what looks like baby snails that might have hatched from plant introduction? Something that reliably kills snails but has no negative effect on plants and does not accumulate in the...

I see. It's unfortunate. Thank you so much for all your help!

Thank you so much, this info is very helpful! Is there a visual way to know if fish is ocular albino or ocular lutino?

I don't breed for profit, but love to see fry in my tank, and I usually rehome, for free the unwanted ones to local hobbyists while keeping the best looking ones for myself (I only have one display tank). That is why health is a priority for me. For some reason, my gut feeling is that...

Thank you!

Thank you! I guess, unless I win a lottery, Dan's prices are a bit out of my range. Plus, not looking for to tuxedo at all (to the point, wouldn't take one in for free... nothing wrong with them, just a personal preference). As for the other one, expensive + the fin looks too large for...
