Re: Is algae contributing to melting?

I was initially confused by the term "melting" when I first encountered it in a plant forum. They mentioned that without CO2 and intense lighting, my red plants would "melt." I imagined this as a gradual dissolving process, but in reality, they turned translucent and dropped leaves. I ended up ...

Re: Is this solution going to work?

I got my Anubias from APF Aquarium Plants Factory. Their Anubias Lynxa loose rhizome pack is a great deal - 4+ leaves per portion, and they have a buy 2 get 1 free offer. I'm really happy with my purchase. Thanks for asking, anglerman.

Re: Is this solution going to work?


I'd rather see natural elements like spider or mopani roots, or even lava rock, used as anchors instead of plastic - they'll add a lot more style to your tank. Anubias are one of my favorites, they're super versatile with all the different leaf shapes, colors, and sizes they come in.


That's my ...

Re: Is this solution going to work?


I'm considering using slim posts, either plastic or bamboo, to create a miniature forest in my 55-gallon tank. I'd anchor a bunch of anubias and Java fern to them, hoping to achieve a leafy tree effect.

I've had a tough time with stem plants - over 120 stems in the past year, with only about 10 ...

Re: betta spawning experience

Thanks for sharing the pic, I love the setup you have. I'm excited about my own axolotls spawning, I've got a 40 gallon tank for the pair and I'm hoping to get a mix of gold and speckled black, the speckled ones are my favorite. They always seem to be swimming around the front of their tank, and it ...

Re: betta spawning experience

That's fascinating to see the male betta's behavior change after spawning. I have a couple of pink axolotls that spawn, but unfortunately, the eggs are infertile. They completely ignore them. I've watched YouTube videos of their mating rituals, but I've never personally witnessed it.

I've got my betta boy solo in a ten gallon, just him, a few snails and some plants for company. I'm thinking of ditching the black sand, those little beady poops are way too visible.
