Re: introducing my new betta breeding pair

I think the female could be called Galaxy, that's a pretty obvious choice, or maybe Nebula or Stardust, those names seem fitting. Good luck with the breeding, I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Can female rosy barbs change sex?

Hey everyone, long time no see.

I've got a question that's been bugging me, I've noticed my female rosy barb has changed a lot over the past few months. She's now got the same colouring as my male one, really bright and vivid, and her fins have got some black on them. What's weird is she's started ...

Re: Help with a struggling 125-gallon planted tank

Re: Help for my nana plant that's struggling.


To better understand the situation with your nana plant, could you tell me how many nerites you have and what size tank they're in? What's their diet like?

Also, is the plant's rhizome exposed above the water's surface? Do you use any fertilizers specifically for plants? What are the specs of ...

Re: Help for my nana plant that's struggling.


With such lengthy lighting periods, I wouldn't be surprised if algae has taken over the anubias leaves. The nerites would then rasp this algae off, potentially causing damage to the leaf surface in the process.

Try reducing the lighting duration to 8 hours and see how your plants respond. If ...

Help for my nana plant that's struggling.

Hi all,
I'm having some trouble with my largest nana plant - it's been going on for months now. The leaves are getting torn or eaten, and a lot of them have turned yellow and fallen off. I'm stumped! I'm wondering if my nerites might be the culprits - they've already cleared out all the algae, so ...
