Re: effective methods for removing aquarium algae

I've always found it frustrating when some YouTubers and websites claim that having a "clean up crew" means you can just sit back and let your fish or snails do all the work. It's misleading and makes it sound like you can just dump the responsibility on them, when in reality, it's just not that ...

Re: Can female betta fish have tankmates

I'm gonna have to disagree here, danios are quick, and I think they'd stress the betta. You're gonna get mixed views on this, but for me, I wouldn't risk it, even with a female betta.

Re: Breaking news in the world of rebe

That's a fantastic deal you've snagged, I'm a bit jealous. Looking forward to seeing how your 280L project unfolds, you've got a world of possibilities with a tank of that size.

Frogbit's also losing its roots, no idea why, and the tips are dark, almost black - fluxx, anyone?

Re: Why are my floating aquarium plants deteriorating?

I don't fert, that's the issue.

My setup's working, 1ml of Flourish for 5 gallons, 1-2 times a week. I've got a small school, 4 guppies and 4 endlers. Lighting's on for 12 hours.

Re: choosing biotope aquaria over 'candy' setups: a shift in perspective

I'd like to add that as a newcomer to the world of aquariums, it's not always easy to distinguish between good and bad content. It seems to me that some YouTubers take advantage of this lack of knowledge. I've started watching videos on aquarium builds and I find them really calming, but I make sure ...
