Who Gives A Fish Forums

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll try adjusting the light duration first and maybe add some root tabs. Appreciate the help!

I've got a 20 gallon tank with a Nicrew ClassicLED light, running it 8 hours a day. My Java Fern and Anubias aren't growing much, just kinda sitting there. Should I upgrade the light or adjust the duration?

Just rescued a guppy with some nasty fin nips, and my corys are acting super lethargic. Tank is a 20 gallon, parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate. Temp is 78F, running a sponge filter and a HOB. Any ideas what's up with them?

I'm relatively new to aquariums and I had a quick question.
I've got a 65 gallon tank - 4ft long and 18 inches wide. Currently, it's home to 6 small green barbs, a medium-sized red-tailed black shark, and a small common pleco. They've all still got some growing to do, but the tank looks pretty bare ...
