I've always seen glosso and any of the grasses (hairgrass, the different chain sword varieties, etc) go rather quickly at any place I've seen carry them. Most of us planted tank lovers can never get enough of them it seems, I always end up wishing I could buy a mass amount of them, but can't find it...

Hey, I haven't been down in a while it's a little out of the way now that I don't live in Norfolk, but I want to do a trip down sometime. I was wondering what freshwater plants you have in. No need to run around and compile a full list, just a rough estimate would be great. I was also wondering if y...

I normally wouldn't suggest loaches in such a small tank, they tend to be super active and like plenty of room to swim around in. I've got a dwarf puffer that does fine in a 2.5g by himself, and its a nice change from the ordinary fish you normally see. You could do a nice school of dwarf rasbora, w...

Honestly, I say whatever type of pygmy cory you can find, grab it.

I personally have a few pygmaeus at my dad's house, and its difficult to tell the difference between the two species because they zip around the tank so quickly.

6 lined wrasse also are said to snack on the nasty critters. When I had a nano SW without room for extra livestock to get rid of them, I turned the lights off for an hour, threw a sinking food tablet or three in an open area, then waited a bit. Turn the lights on and swoop in with a net, and flush t...

And once you pick up an algae eater and all the nitrates, etc balance out, you definately have enough room to bump up those harlequins and cories.

Trust me, its way more impressive watching a bunch of shoaling or schooling fish than a handful. They're less stressed too.

I'd probably just stick to inverts/maybe an algae eating blenny or something. Hex tanks don't really have as much surface area, which is key to oxygen content. If you want something interesting without adding much to the bio-load, try going for a pistol shrimp/goby pair.

*forgot to add, I wouldn't worry too much about the fish as long as the tanks are cycled properly. In the shipping process, fish are moved at a much more rapid pace than this.

Stick some of the cultured live rock and some of the substrate in the new tank from an established one, throw in some dirty filter water, and a frozen food cube or something similar to kickstart the ammonia cycle.

I can actually see that happening. Koi are very close to carp, which tend to be the top dogs when they're in lakes around here.

It's suprising what can go with Malawi cichlids. Mne tend to be very tolerant of the fish my mother puts in that tank. She always brings home something that I cringe at.

From my experience, they aren't harmful, but extremely creepy, and I wanted them gone. I placed food out away from all the rocks, then turned the lights off and waited for the big guy (16"-18") to come out and feast. I grabbed a net and flushed him, along with any others I saw. Many stores...

In my experience, pandas tend to do best around 78 degrees. Also: what is the height on your tank? Cories need to hit the top to grab oxygen from the air, and if the tank is too tall, they can't breathe it.

Just a tip. Try keeping the water changed every few days and make sure you clean up the poo. This will help keep it from becoming septic and infected. Turn up the temp a few degrees as well.

Dang... The thing was out killing dobermans and rottweilers..
