Re: Considering a beta for my 43-gallon community tank


I've had female bettas in a community tank, they were fine with my tetras and Corys. Males, on the other hand, I wouldn't recommend. Maybe a small gourami could work as a centerpiece instead of a beta?

Considering a beta for my 43-gallon community tank

I've had my 43gal freshwater community tank up and running for a couple years, and I'm thinking of adding a centerpiece fish with some personality. The tank's currently home to 7 red eye tetras and 3 Corydoras, so I'm looking for something colorful to liven things up. I've got live plants with ...

Re: Floating plants for a 29-gallon tank


I'm looking to expand my floating plant collection for my 29-gallon tank. Currently, I've got water sprite and a few mystery plants from my local fish store. I'll post some pics of the unknown ones tomorrow.

I've come across water lettuce as a popular option, but I'm unsure if it's suitable for ...

Re: Floating plants for a 29-gallon tank

I've actually thought about setting up a separate goldfish tank just for the excess plants from my main tank, so nothing goes to waste - it seems like a great way to utilize them.

Re: Floating plants for a 29-gallon tank

I've got a bunch of red root floaters in Oklahoma that I'm looking to rehome - hate to toss 'em when someone might actually want 'em.

Re: Creating a live plant-friendly substrate: suggestions needed


I'm revamping my 125-gallon tank to convert it into a planted setup, and I'm still in the early stages of planning. The tank's currently home to some big cichlids that will be rehomed soon, so I'm looking for ideas to get started.

The existing substrate is a coarse white gravel that I want to ...
