So i was browsing craigslist and came across a good deal. 30 Gallon Tank, Aquaclear 50 filter, everything else included with the fish she had for 50 Bux. I have a 55 gallon at home and a 10 gallon hospital tank to go with it. So i drive a little ways and pick up my new tank and friends. 1 Neon Tetra, 3 Longfinned zebra danios, a Male Betta, and a 5 inch Common Pleco. I know weird combination. well i put the neon in my 55 gallon to join the group of 6 i had in there and it was happy. I also put the larger Pleco in my big tank until i decide what i want to do with it since i already have a 2 inch common pleco in there already.

Now the thing is that this tank is planted and i never had a planted tank before. Could you tell me what kind of plants these are?? Also i think it has a lil Hydra infestation on the leaves themselves. and of course i saw about 4 snails crawling around once i got it filled back up.

Right now it just has the betta in it while it get back to normal. All the stats look fine but i'm guessing the tank will do a mini cycle after being moved, i don't think i lost a lot of bacteria because i packed up the filter in tank water, and added a sponge from my 10 gallon filter.

I think that is Black Beard Algae not hydra. Soak the plant in a mild bleash solution for a few minutes to kill it, but I really don't know the exact formula for that. Maybe the planted tank forum can help you. http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/search.p...og_searchinfo=1

thants where I get all my plant info. They also have a list of plant profiles with pictures to help you better ID your plants.
