Hey everyone. In my 75 gallon tank i have a featherfin catfish and a sailfin pleco. I love both fish for different reasons. The pleco is nice, gentle, and beautiful. The featherfin is chubby, funny to watch, and a voracious eater. But.... the featherfin is pretty agressive to the pleco...

I still don’t know what nano plants I’m going to order but I have put a few from my other tank in there that I don’t think will grow too big. I love the idea about the danios. I’ve never heard of them. Otherwise the only small fish I’m familiar with are neon tetras. Thanks for all of the input...

I’ll be honest I don’t know much about nano fish yet. Haven’t gotten that far yet. I’m going to be looking for a rather tiny species I can get a whole school of in my little aquarium. Then maybe one or two slightly bigger ones that will pop. The tank will eventually be heavily planted so I’ll...

I've also been looking at some nano plant varieties online. My LFS is awesome but they don't have a great selection of really small plants.

i have an overwhelming collection of floating pads, not sure what they are but i can scoop out two measuring cups of them every couple of days. I threw a few of those in there and assuming everything is good in the tank they should explode in quantity shortly. My other tank is heavily planted...

I'm excited to announce the arrival of my new Fluval Flex 9g .... they're on clearance at Petsmart for $70 (109 on their site). They also have a 15g for $90 in store. Anyway I stared at it for weeks, i'm surprised there was still one there when i finally decided to pull the trigger. I set it...

Yea if you have a crawlspace with wooden floors I might be concerned. Or if you’re not on the first floor. I live in a house with a concrete slab so no concern there for me. However I had a 150 that sprung a leak and, well, with a crawlspace at least the water would have had somewhere to go...

That's unbelievable yet all too believable. And it's exactly what I was afraid of. I'm going to pass on this one.

I think that may be it. Thanks for the help.

I'm in the market for a tank upgrade and have a tank from my lfs in mind. It's a 75g mainland with a farmstyle stand. I'm sure most stores carry the same or similar model. Well for just $200 more Petsmart is having a sale for a 125g combo. I would normally consider this $200 well spent but...

I finally trimmed away a log of algae afflicted plants today that I've been putting off. Last summer I trimmed all my plants down to the substrate because everything was infected but the new regrowth has been healthy and better than ever. Scorched earth has its merits. A permanent solution to...

Hey everyone. For the last year-ish I've been going back and forth with an algae and was wondering if I could get some help identifying it. It's a very dark green for the most part but can appear anywhere from white in bright light to black in dark lighting. It is very flowy in the current...
