I did. It didn't attach, sorry!

They usually are between 3-5". While a 20 long is preferred for more than 1, they do fine in a 20 tall with good filtration, wood, and lots of stuff to hide in. This girl is almost 3 years old and about 3 inches long.

It's a bristlenose, not a common!

Thank you! I think that answers my question on the fish end. In regards to plants, is there anything I can do for them? I'd love to be able to have vals, and some other faster growing plants. They all seem to die within a few months even adding root tabs. Is there another type of fertilizer...

I only partially vacuum the sand I can reach. I keep the substrate shallow so pockets of gas can't form, and I monitor my water params. The plants eat up pretty much all my ammonia and nitrates. The snails keep the sand pretty well turned over, in addition to the kuhlis and cories always digging...

I'm checking daily. Thus far 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 0 nitrates. I've even been overfeeding a bjt to see if I can get a nitrate reading. If things went properly, I suspect I won't get an ammonia reading and it will go straight to nitrates. By seeding I meant that I put 3 bags of ceramic rings...

I want to be able to have a larger variety of plants. All mine just melt away, even with ferts, after a few months. My endlers also do not do well at all. I'm down to 2 from 25.

I've been having trouble adding to the kuhlis due to my water apparently. I have 2 juveniles remaining out of 4 I ordered recently that are almost ready to move over, and hopefully not get outcompeted for food. The 3 kuhlis are going on 3 years old if I recall correctly. They have lots of...

The 55 gallon has been running about a week. I seeded it with media from my 20 gallon tall tank. The 20 has been running for years. The 55 has 4 bolivian rams, now 11 false julii cories, and 15 lambchop rasboras. The 20 has 5 panda cories, 1 BN, 3 kuhlis and 2 endlers and about 1000 Malaysian...

Hey all! My new api gh and kh kit came today. In addition to my pH being 6.5, my kh and gh are both 3. I have well water. What is the most stable way to raise these safely (and without a ton of calculations)? I have bolivian rams, julii cories, lamb chop rasboras in my 55. I have a BN...

1st inhabitant in! This store doesn't carry pearl gourami or I'd have gotten them. They only carry rasbora het too....so looks like I'll be placing an order online soon :( lol
