I get all mine from www.aquairumplants.com. The shipping kinda makes it a bit pricey so I recommend getting all the plants you need in one order. All my plants from them have arrived in excellent condition and in generous quantities. Beyond that, you can always try out craigslist to see if any...

I'm keeping a close eye on them. So far everything's been fine. :)

Thanks for your help guys! She's actually doing much better this morning! Her fins are no longer clamped and she's back to being active again!  She also accepted food again this morning! To answer Fishaholic's question she's not skinny. I tried getting a picture of her anyway but she won't sit...

No recent additions and no bloating. The url didn't work but I'll look in Sterazin. Is it ok for invertebrates? I have multiple snail species that I don't want to lose either.

I have a 5 month old female hi-fin molly that has been deteriorating over the past couple weeks. She's gone from being active, always swimming with my tiger platy and female guppies, to staying by herself with her fins clamped at the top of the water. Her swimming is becoming more shaky with...

I've got plenty of nutrients. I'm starting to think there might be some allelopathy going on between my plants as only these two species are affected. The banana plant has been clinging to life since I put in in the tank(surprisingly it's still going a year later) and the cardinal plant nearly...

I have been doing weekly 35% water changes. I'm going to try cutting back and keep an eye on my water chemistry. 

I have t   I have the lights on 12 hours a day normally. I'll try dosing some CO2 and see if that helps. It is weird. I don't think it's nutrients as I have plants that are far more nutrient dependent and they're doing just fine. How do I go about increasing NO3?

I don't add fertilizer no. I use a substrate specifically for planted aquariums so I don't have to add it. It's eco-complete plant substrate.

I have a 20gal planted community tank. I use two 18watt flouri-glo lightbulbs and eco-complete substrate. All plants are doing fine except my cardinal and banana plant. The cardinal plant has spots of discoloration, like the leaves have been damaged. The banana plant's leaves constantly wilt and...

    Which then makes it too cold for the Corys, Sand Loach, Molly and Guppies? They are already at their minimum temperature now, ideally you want 25/26 not 22/23. The platy I guess can deal with temperate conditions but I am assuming there isn't a really high turnover rate in the tank adequate...

Filter is a HOB Aqueon that came with the tank for initial setup. Yes this is final stocking. I had more julii's but a number of them have passed and none of my LFS are carrying them at the time. My temp is actually a little to high concerning the hillstream loach, I need to drop it another 2...

I have a 20 gallon planted community tank. Fish include-   3 female guppies 1 male guppy 1 hifin molly 1 red-tiger platy 1 red-tail sand loach 3 julii cory cats 1 hillstream loach   I've had issues with fin tearing before that was attributed to an overstocked tank. The tank is fine now but my...

And that'll be ok for regular plants?
