Hornwort is solid, but it sheds like crazy. I switched to Water Wisteria for similar benefits without the mess.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I'm gonna try Hornwort and Frogbit first and see how it goes. Appreciate the help!

I've been trying to figure out which plants actually boost oxygen levels in my tank. I've got a 20-gallon with moderate lighting and CO2 injection, but my fish still seem a bit sluggish. Any recommendations?

Hi, was just thinking, what if I move their cave to a fry tank when they have eggs waiting to hatch, then replace it with another coconut in the main tank? Would that work, just keep repeating the process? I'm hoping I've got this right, they only get aggressive when they have eggs and even worse ...

Hi, I'm so worried I made a mistake buying the kribs, I adore my corydoras. It's really frustrating, can't we just get the right information about fish before we buy them? I feel like I've let my corries down, I was trying to do what's best for them. I've had them for ages and they're such lovely ...

I know my tank might not be huge, but it's long, 39 inches to be exact, so I'm hoping that will help with the territory issue. I've placed their cave in the back corner, out of the way, so fingers crossed that will help minimize any problems.

I'm getting really confused, looked into keyholes and kribs and got different info from different places. Keyholes were semi-aggressive, kribs peaceful. So, who's right? One place says this, another says that. I don't just take the LFS's word for it, they just want my money. I've learned that the ...

Hi All
My tank's a good size - 180 litres, 39 inches long, 15 inches deep and 16 inches high. Got substrate in there too.
I've got a coconut shell in the corner at the back for my kribs, so they've got their own little home.

My tankmates are 2 platys, 6 guppys, 5 blackdendows, 12 corys, 1 brn and ...

Hi everyone, I'm thrilled to share my excitement with you all - I've just welcomed two adorable kribensis into my family. I must admit, I fell head over heels in love with them the moment I laid eyes on them. I rushed home, did my research, and couldn't wait to get back to the store to bring them ...

Hi colR, love the pic, guessing you're into bikes, but back to the topic. The female krib in my friend's tank has a lovely pink belly, but she had it when she bought the pair, so not sure if she'd lose that or not, still looks great though.

I had a pair of kribs a while back, the LFS said they'd be ...
