Well it looks like no harm came from the bristlenose babys eating the mac and cheese. Everybody it still alive and kicking. Just gotta keep a better eye on my little girl tho, tonight she covered herself with dill pickle popcorn seasoning,What Do You Do!!! KIDS

Hi Long story short my little 3 year old dumped her plate of mac and cheese into my tank of baby bristlenose and they seem to have all been munching down on it. Not sure when she did it but now i am cleaning it out. Just wondering if i should be worried about their little cheese and starch snack. Bob

i put the anubias plants into my cichlid tank and set the plants in and around and on my lava rocks and the rhizome was only set on top of the gravel in places . because the roots were all brown i wanted to make sure they had a good chance to sprout a bit before tying them down. another part of the reason for the lead weights was to keep them from being blown around my tank. one of my anubias plants was closer to 20 inches so a lot of plant to get caught in the current. i'am down to my last 3 plants and i already have the darkening of the stem happening to these also i wonder if it has anything to do with the size of these plants. i have had lots of other anubias plants but they never got bigger then 6-7 inches. the ones that i got are the biggest ones i have ever seen. its just sad to see them all melt away.

nope, i just let them sit on the gravel with lead weights around the rhizome bob

hi, i have had almost all of my anubias plants rot out and die over a 3-4 week period, and am wondering if anybody else has had this happen. i ordered these plants with a group of echinodorus and some bulb plants, which have all flourished in my tank. i bought these anubias var -afzelii -bateri var. caladifolia -congensis -heterophylla var. lanceolata they were all huge, over 16 inches. over the course of 3 weeks almost every one of the anubias plants i bought has rotted out. it starts out dark around the stem and gradually the rhizome rots out. when if first received these plants everything looked nice and green except the roots on the anubias were brown. i just figured it was stress from shipping. thanks bob

It is, although those wider tanks (anything over 24") tend to be a bit spendy...is that just a bare tank, or does it include overflows, holes, etc? That was bare tank . With 2 overflows it would be $500 hi, just wondering how your experience with getting a tank built went, and if you had any recommendations? thanks bob
