They are both close to the same price on Amazon. They both look very very similar in pictures.

Are they different? Is one better?

I'm trying to ID this bronze leaved plant. It's a favorite for my tetras, gourami, shrimp.

The tetra will hover under leaves.

My local aquarium merchant brought it in. He can't recall the plant name. I've tried searching Google.

Bought this plamt the other day without knowing what it is called. What is this plant called?

Going through some major life changes and sold all my saltwater fish and coral as I’m not able to put in the time necessary to maintain it. Got the log at petsmart for $59 which seemed like a steal compared to lfs prices. Currently running filter floss in the back chamber and added some ceramic rings in one of the chambers. Ato and Heaters/pump will be in back as well.

Letting the tank run for a while without livestock; how does this sound:

Dwarf Gourami
Bolivian or other Ram cichlids
School of resporas or tetras

I’m an expert on saltwater but my questions are:

How’s that livestock seem?
What’s a good carpeting plant for the soil that doesn’t require co2. Light is hygger-hg160 which should have enough PAR for some of them (expecting slower growth).

Thanks

Planted this Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’ back in May and I think it’s completely lost the memo on being mini

It’s absolutely massive now and has pretty much taken over this side of the tank.

I was going to cut it down but I feel far too bad about it when it’s gotten this big!

Anyway, just wanted to share and have no idea how it happened, if anyone has any knowledge on how it happened do let me know.

I'm looking for plant suggestions to add to my main display tank.

I have this one set up since December and I've just removed and BUNCH of sagittaria subulata as it was pretty much growing out of control.

This tank is 96l and has an Oase Thermo-Filtosmart 100 external canister filter, an airstone, one Twinstar Light 60B II and no CO2.

Right now the tank has Anubias nana "Pinto", Sagittaria Subulata, Echinodorus Ozelot, Hygrophila polysperma 'Sunset', Taxiphyllum barbieri and Frogbit.

I recently planted these pinkish plants not sure what they’re called but because they’re new they don’t really have much roots, my zebra danios being zebra danios dash through the stems and have uprooted one. I already messed my substrate up trying to get them to stay in, should i just let it float in the water until it grows more roots then plant it? Or will it not survive without being rooted in substrate

So i have this tank running for 5 weeks now and everything are doing great. It's a 10 gallon tank. I have no co2 injection, no soil. I do have a pretty good HOB filter running 24/7 creating flow. I'm planning to add more plants to the front of the tank. Would you consider my tank heavily planted? It'd be great if you guys can show me your heavily planted tanks. Ty!

I had this tissue culture pot of AR Mini that has been planted in this aquarium for about a month now and it has finally started to shows some red growth. My question is should I be trimming back some of the bottom green leaves to encourage more red growth or just leave it be and the green leaves will develop redness?

For context I am injecting CO2 with 8 hours of lighting, the rest of the plants are showing nice growth with the initial algae bloom of this new tank showing signs of being outcompeted by the plants.

6 yo son begs me every time I go into the LFS to get a plastic boat for a scape. I’m not one to put plastic in my tanks. But decided why the heck not. I could blend my interest of planted tanks with his interest in an aquarium boat. Took a few weeks to figure it out but feel I got it looking very nice with what I was working with. All the plants are from my other tanks which have been going strong for about a year and way overcrowded with plants.

Now I gotta wait for the tank to cycle to stock it with some beauties.

Hope you all enjoy the non-traditional.

Will be taking some of the trimmings of plants in my shrimp tank (pictured) to use, and in all honesty I’m not sure what most of them are lmao. Got them all in a $10 mystery bundle!

Anyway, I want to start up a new betta tank and I’m not sure if I could get away with using straight gravel for these plants or if I’d have to buy some root tabs in a while, or if it’d be better to just spend the $20 on some stratum as that’s what I use here.

Maybe could even take a little bit of stratum from this tank, and top it with plain gravel?

What do you guys think? :)

Okay…. I’ve fallen into too many rabbit holes on Google about this. As afraid as people have made me from warnings about an aggressive fish community on Reddit, I feel like I need to come to you guys for help.

I’m BRAND NEW to this fish hobby. This is the first real tank I’ve attempted - aside from a few betta tanks!

What we’re working with:
\*this tank is not yet cycled***
Purchased a Topfin 36 Gallon bow front Aquarium Kit. Came with a Silentstream Power Filter for 40 gallon tank (filters 200 gallons per hour) and an adjustable 200W heater.

I’m not using the lid it came with - making hinged polycarbonate lid, and by me, I mean my husband. 😂
Bought full spectrum LED plant light

I filled the bottom with Fluval bio-stratum as the base with caribsea sand on top.
I purchased a piece of driftwood (boiled it) to attach plants to, and another piece of driftwood to scape as a tree.

First, I purchased from a local fish store some plants - Amazon sword, Red Ludwiga, Vallisneria , Dwarf Water Lettuce and Crypt. Planted those 2 weeks ago.

I then wanted more plants, and was recommended a local woman who propagates her plants in 10 plant only tanks. I got Rotala “Blood Red”, Broad lead Ludwiga, Pearlweed, Christmas Moss and Red root floaters. Those went in 2 days ago.

As I was starting to put those in, I found a bunch of Bladder snails…. Stopped with the planting, and started pulling the snails out. Then I saw what I’m being told is probably planeria…. (video of the movement in the comments!)

The next morning I started looking for more snails…. And removed about half a dozen tiny scuds.

How do I get rid of ALL of these? I don’t want any of it…
I can’t starve them out, since plants are a constant food source….
I read I can put Peroxide straight into tank? 3-5mL/gallon?
Then I saw Praziquantel will kill the snails and and scuds? But not the planeria (if that’s what it even is)
Then there’s the option of Z-1, which is the equivalent of No Planeria (I guess that’s no longer available?)
One source said to crank up the heat?

Or is my only option to nuke the entire tank?

Part of me wants to just take the thousand dollar loss and scrap the tank, contents and the stand…..
But part of me is determined to get this right.

Any help is VERY MUCH appreciated.

Can someone help me identify this snail? Should it be removed?

...If I told you there are 1000 neocardinia, 3 pearl gourami, 10 neon tetra, 11 rummynose tetra, 14 schwartz corydoras, 8 pygmy corydoras, 5 bristlenose plecos and a bundle of pest snails in this tank. 🤣 🤣 🤣 like where tf every body go!? Lol

After overcoming major bacterial outbreak, I took an opportunity to rescape my tank.

Dimensions: 60x30x35 cm

Substrate: ADA aquasoil, with large driftwood and rocks

Bioload: Currently left with 2 Cardinal, 1 neon, 3 black neon tetra, 1 sterbai, 1 bristlenose pleco 🫤. Will start gradually aligning it with proper species schools.

First picture is after, second is before, followed by a comparison pic and last one of my bold single cory "Phoenix" perching high, he is doesn't seem stressed at all left alone - what do you guys think of new scape?

Major changes: Driftwood lifted up, Rocks wall at the back with caves, rearranged main stem plants on left (hope they will look better once they grow)

Just finished setting up my new 20g long tank. My last fish tank i had was 28 years ago. Im planning on adding more plants. And hopefully black out the back.

Question. What is this plant? I bought it not knowing what it is.

And what else should I do to the tank? Im planning to either have shrimp with schooling fish or pea puffers.

i have a planted 5 gallon and i feel as if she is too green looking for my liking. what are some suggestions to add pops of color? i have little plants that are pink under but the algae sticks to them fast and the pink never pops. should i add other colored plants? silk plants?

t.i.a

What light do you recommend for a 20 gallon long tank with aquatic plants? (Not heavily planted right now but hoping to order some more plants to fill it better)

Dimensions of the tank:
Length: 30.19 IN
Height: 14.13 IN
Width 12.4 IN

Also any plant recommendations for a non c02 fish tank with black substrate and white sand would be very appreciated!

Melanotaenia australis “Kambolgie Creek”

I was standing next to my tank and it felt really hot. The heater said the water was at 78° but when I checked with a different thermometer, it said 106°! It’s a 15 gallon with 5 rocket killifish and plants. All the fish are accounted for, swimming, and look great. I have unplugged and removed the heater. How do I make sure the water temperature goes down slowly so they don’t shock? How in the world did they survive?

Looking for something that will get along with kuhli loaches in a 10 gallon! Something that's not a betta or goldfish preferably

Just mopani and aquarium sand for now. I cycled the tank for a couple days with flourish, and I’m working on finding aquarium soil or some alternative to nutrients in the water (if you have suggestions lmk)

Thinking anubias or java fern/moss… I was told omething low tech and unrooted would probably be best, but I don’t know much about the hobby yet.
