Re: Can green terror and blue acara interbreed successfully?


I've had my share of dealing with green terrors and acaras, and let me tell you, it didn't end well. When I kept green terrors, they turned on the acaras, eating them without hesitation. I was wary of putting another acara in with the green terrors, so I eventually gave up on that idea. In the end ...

breeding green terrors: a beginner's guide

I've got green terrors in a tank, they've already spawned and the babies are free swimming now. Can they breed again with the babies still in the tank, I've noticed the male is doing that tail vibrating thing, just like he did last time before they spawned.

Think adding another female would be ok or no

Re: Building a thriving 5-gallon shrimp tank


I'm a big fan of susswassertang, personally. I got a small amount with a shrimp shipment and initially, it was slow going, but now it's picking up pace. Not as fast as some mosses, but I find it way easier to manage - I've got it in three tanks now. Took around 4 weeks to really take off.


I'm ...

Re: Building a thriving 5-gallon shrimp tank


I've worked with moss before, but not susswassertang specifically. One thing I've found is that moss tends to grow alongside algae, so make sure you're regularly cleaning out the algae to give the moss room to thrive. Also, don't forget to dose enough minerals and maintain a decent amount of ...
