Boy what a tough place to be in. Contemplating changes in not just one but 3 large fish tanks... Since downsizing to fish tanks with smaller foot print, planting them. Over the years the inhabitants evolved to accommodate the planted tank scene. When I get to that place where a change is...

I've evolved to stocking planted tanks prioritizing the clean up crew. Critters that help maintain clean healthy plant. Unfortunately this usually reduces the species list inwhich I may keep in a planted aquarium. Pea puffers are amazing but can be turds. The brown stuff on those leaves does...

I found these at Bridges Pet in Snohomish. There was 3-4 more that color this afternoon.

I almost contemplating Apistogramma. I may eventually move Platy into another tank and try the Apisto. I'm afraid water too cold though for dwarf cichlid :/ I'm at 69°F.

It's kind of a dark tank so the yellow and blue iridescent should go well I think.

I'm trying Platy. I tried a Goby. He did well for long time but at night it chased Guppies. One night it chased one right out of the tank. My fingers are crossed.

Thank you. Going to LFS soon. Leaning toward Platy.

Any suggestions of nano fish and other critter species I can keep in an "unheated" nano tank? Specs: 12L tank , PH 6.8, room temp - winter 68-71. Summer temp could reach 78 as a max. Planted tank. Current stocking guppies, otocinculas. Guppies can go into another tank if needed. Would be...

Overall Experience: 5 - always happy to visit Cost: 2 - below average Quality of Fish: 4 Variety: 2 (for species), 4 (for equipment/decor) Service: 4 - sometimes I have to search for them The aquatic section seems unbalanced. There seems to be a lot of one thing and a little bit of everything...

Overall Experience 5! Cost 3 - average Quality of Fish 4 - some tanks under quarantine. Variety 5! Service 4 Massive aquatic section. Largest in area for sure. No saltwater fish. Small on live plant selection but some to get started. Very little Compressed CO2 system support. Lots of teen...

It's quite typical for plants to shock when moved. Roots need to dig in and get situated. Even longer if there is no root but just stem. The hygro you have in front is an amazing plant. Once rooted in can grow rapidly and easily propagated through trimming. Makes a great background and will...
