I’d say you guys are right and thank you all so much! I hate it but I really don’t have any room to add more and they’re a schooling fish. Even though it’s a pretty heavily planted tank with an overhauled filter I think I’ve pushed it to the limit already. I guess I’ll see if Petco will take it...

The body shape and fin placements do match up nice and it does have the same black speck on the tail. However the main color of this fish isn’t a blue at all and it has no stripes, it’s just a solid silver body.

Okay cool! So would high dosages of fertilizers have any kind of affect at all on water parameters?

Pond snails. They’re harmless to your plants and fish. They’re easily overlooked when packaging plants and sometimes fish to the pet stores and from there to your home aquariums. They eat algae and waste and aren’t a problem as long as they don’t have enough food available to multiply to the...

When I stocked my tank I asked for 10 ember tetras. After watching for a month this particular fish just doesn’t seem like it’s an ember. I can’t find any other fish that looks like it. The embers are a transparent red and they rarely move their fins when swimming. This fish is more silver and...

I’m not 100% sure I really can’t tell ya one way or the other but I would think that if they’re safe enough for people to drink through they’d be fine floating in a tank

Oh yeah for sure. You can use airline hose to make a circle it works great. I squeeze gel super glue in one end and fill that end up good and then just kind of fold the other end a little to shove it in easier. If your hose has any kind of kinks that won’t come out and it’s shaping weird you can...

No not really. I use two clip on desk lamps with medium intensity led bulbs on my tank and I dose liquid fertilizers but they’ll do fine without it

I’ve even been considering starting a legit goldfish tank just so I can feed them excess plants from my tank so nothing goes to waste lol

I know it’s ridiculous that’s how I got mine. Not trying to undercut people’s business on eBay but I’ll gladly give them to anyone for free because I love them and I’m proud of my success lol

I’m located in Oklahoma and I have a TON of red root floaters that I need to get rid of but I don’t wanna go through the hassle of selling them on eBay or anything, and I hate to just throw them away when there’s people out there that would use them.

I read the article and there’s some interesting points in it. However to say that a filter only makes the water clearer and not cleaner and then to say you find that sponge material makes a great platform for beneficial bacteria seems kind of conflicting. Fact of the matter is yes a filter does...
