Definetly sword for the first one... and it looks like Rotala might be it for the 2nd, but I'm not 100% after looking at different pics. Thanks guys!   I have pretty decent lighting (LED) which I can customize to add more power or some blue if needed... Think I can get away with no CO2 and just...

Just bought these 2 plants yesterday and am not sure what they are...     The one on the back with red leaves...   Thanks!

Here is the new boy in da tank. Yet to be named, suggestions welcomed.

Ok, so here is the new one... He is still a bit shy and nervous, a little hard to feed him, but my tetras don't seem to like bloodworms anymore (they jump on flakes like there is no tomorrow though), so that leaves him the time to get to them if he's hungry. Let's wish him a better fate than...

Well, I went ahead and bought a new one. This time, I put him in a breeder box inside the 10g. This time I can make sure he'll eat for a couple days before letting him go freely around the tank. Will try to post a pic tonight.

So I bought a Crowntail Betta last week and put him in my 10G. He hasn't really eaten since I got him and spent most of his time patrolling the back of the tank. In the past couple days, I found him hidden more often than not and sometimes, just sitting flat on the gravel. Today, I found him...

Hello, I recently bought a used 55g that came with an Aqua-Tech 30-60 filter among other things. I want to make it a mbuna tank and am now looking at buying a 2nd filter because obviously, this one won't handle the load alone. Therefore, I'm wondering if I can keep this one as a "sidekick" to a...

Very nice write up... It's like you just summarized everything I have read in the past week or so as I'm looking at building a mbuna tank with my new 4ft 55g tank :) Many thanks for this, should be pinned!

omg, I spotted this thread when it first started...Thought it was funny, then I go away for a couple months and it now has 2100+ replies... what in the world did you lovelies all talk about? I'm sure someone here can write down a nice little recap :shifty:

They are having a blast there! :good: Is that kitten litter you have as substrate there? How do you like it? Is it possible for fish to dig into that if they like to?

Wow, how do they manage to build such beautiful aquascapes is far beyond my knowledge... Those imitating land scapes are truly amazing. Inspiring yes, but far beyond my reach, hehe.

Just a huge WOW at the contrast the albino cories are making on black sand! This will definitely be something I consider for my tank. Very nice Dieses! Now if I can only find a place to buy black sand to fill a 55g without leaving an arm and a leg in the process...

Ohh, I didn't even realize I was in the planted tank journals forum. I didn't want to put in the african forum since i'm not sure yet what i'm doing...but if a mod can move it into the right place, that'll be perfect!

Well, I ended up buying the 55g I thought was 65g because they said it was 24" high...but it's 21". It is plenty big enough for my living room...gf would have freaked out if it had been the 90g...haha. I started a journal thread here ...

This is my first journal as well as my first attempt at setting up a decent sized tank without an excuse of being completely clueless about fish keeping. Recap : Last december, my gf wanted a betta fish for xmas, so I went and bought a small bowl, some food, dechlorinator and a betta fish...
