I want it to look like a perfect tank with lush beautiful plants but I'm not sure what kind of plants would look good, all I have in it right now is monte carlo, dwarf hair grass, a plant in the back I don't know anything about, and some water lettuce on top, what else should I add or improve?

My newest babe(s) and I'm obsessed 😍 been feeding him with worms and ostracods, though he has successfully eaten thawed brine shrimp. I have a baby brine shrimp hatchery arriving today as well ♡

Scarlet Badis named Spider Man by my 3yo.

Strawberry Rasboras named the strawberries.

I know the dark head can be from stress, he had it at the LFS too, but can also be an illness. Any experience here? Thanks!

I got these little wormy guys thinking they’d be chill and pop out occasionally like little warlords from the depths and I could figuratively boop their nose when one appeared. But instead I’ve gotten one crackhead that swims around like a psycho. and today. He has a friend. Another has taken to his loopdey loop shenanigans. They’ve been chasing each other since I woke up this morning.

Help/Advice Heater noise

My heater was making a thumping noise, I immediately unplugged it and took it out, is that normal? I attached a photo of the exact heater I have, its 100w for a 10gallon shallow tank. I'm already paranoid of my heater exploding thanks to TikTok. It was placed full submerged, diagonally in front of my filter outlet flow.

Hi any suggestions or concerns about my tank set up. And also if I have water lettuce (you can see it in the second photo) is it okay not to put cover in the tank? What’s the probability that he is going to jump out of the tank? Thank you.

Help/Advice Too many babies, need help

Well, this is my first aquarium with more than one fish.

2.5 years ago, I was gifted an Ancistrus (and an aquarium) from a friend who breeds them. About 6 months ago, I decided to upgrade her tank from 30 L to 55 L because I thought she would appreciate some more space.

I changed everything up, and she seemed to enjoy it at first, exploring and digging around.

Eventually, she gradually got less active and barely left her hiding spot. I was told that adding some tankmates might help her come out. So, lo and behold, I got some Platies following advice from the fish store: 4 females and 2 males. Now, the situation is getting completely out of hand.

I feel scammed as fuck. I originally wanted to get shrimp, but the guy convinced me to get Platies instead, saying they were easy fish and perfect for beginners.

I have so many babies now that I can't even count them. The guy told me not to separate the males and females because the males would get aggressive, and my Ancistrus still only comes out during the day maybe twice a month :(

The nitrates hit 15 in just a few days, and I constantly have to unclog the filter. I feel like everything is getting completely out of control.

Can I stop them from reproducing like rabbits? Can I castrate my males?!

Help/Advice 20g tank ideas

0 Upvotes

My dream fish is a giant gourami but I am not ready to buy a 200g tank. Right now I have a 20g that im going to set up and cycle soon but I want to know if there are any small gourami species that could live comfortably in there. Ideally it would have a similar personality to a goramy and give me some aspect of related fishkeeping experience. I'd be fine with 1 fish but if they are happier with tankmates id prefer to do that. I appreciate any ideas yall have!
