Who Gives A Fish Forums

Got two tanks with similar fish - Corydoras bronze, and Blue velvet shrimp in one, and the other's got similar fish plus guppys and white clouded minnows. Should I trim it back, it's getting pretty thick - about 50-75% now.

Considering root tabs, any decent ones stand out?

I'm probably going organic, but I'm not too keen on having fish in the same tank with it. Now I need to find some easy-to-grow plants that don't need fertilizers.

Does this really make a difference for fish, though?

Looks like male to me, but I'm interested to hear what others think since it can be tricky.
