Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've had great success with my Cyphastrea, they're super adaptable to lighting. My emerald green one's been thriving under my 7x54watt Constellation, it's grown like crazy and kept its vibrant color - it's even outpaced my anthelia. I also have a couple tucked away in the rockwork, out of direct ...

My experience with non-aquatic seeds has been pretty hit-or-miss - I've had no issues with germination, but most seeds have struggled to reach maturity. Marigolds were the exception, taking around 6 months to grow. Everything else either didn't develop a strong root system or just withered away. I ...

I'm guessing it depends on the type of seeds you're using - what's the plant you're trying to grow? I've had my fair share of growing seeded plants outside the aquarium, and let me tell you, it's been a huge waste of time. Never attempted it inside the aquarium, though. Not sure if your substrate is ...

I'm not aware of any local Aquarium Societies in my area, likely due to the limited number of pet stores and their small fish selection. I imagine larger cities might have them, though. For fresh plants, I've found azgardens.com to be a reliable source - they claim to supply NASA and colleges, which ...

I've always thought of them as "spider plants" due to those offshoots they produce when mature - you can easily pot them and grow more. They make lovely, simple gifts when potted nicely. I've also seen them look great in hanging baskets. To be honest, I'm not too familiar with their specific light ...

I'm dealing with a sick fish myself, and four weeks without eating is a real challenge - my girl's got fish bladder disease, so two days is barely a blip on the radar. Adding some real plants could be a great way to give your Dumbo a sense of security, just make sure he's got an open path to the ...

I'm worried about the future of these fish if they don't bond or outgrow your tank. You might end up like me, shelling out big bucks for a larger tank. I've got 4 Dojo loaches, and let me tell you, they've exceeded all expectations. Everything I read said they'd top out at 6-8 inches, but I've got ...

I've been using Seachem Florite for a while now, and I have to say, it's been a mixed bag. The original black terrac was okay, but the "dark" color they came out with later was a total disappointment - it's this ugly, unnatural-looking beige/brown gravel. I'm planning to switch back to black as soon ...

I'm after some low-mess floating plants, you know, ones that don't shed a million tiny bits everywhere and clog my filters. Had frogbit or something similar before, and it was a nightmare, always cleaning out the filter. I've got a bunch of fish that love hiding in floating plants, but I'm stumped ...
