  1. Wow that many made it - Awesome!!!

    I have males building bubble nests in their individual homes but need to set up the breeding tanks again.

    Hopefully tongiht since I cleaned my kitchen tonight. No small feat with the size of it.

    Give Maddie a smoosh and the kids some fishy crack!!

    PS - I would love some wild swords in a few weeks for the dayhome tank. Hoping to set it up this weekend and cycle it with the betta, snail and minnows.

  2. So I bought Riverfronts last madagascar lace plant (love 50% off) and now need advice on how best to keep it alive. I have read to keep it in a bit of a current to keep the leaves free of debris but what about fish, substrate, light etc.

    I have it in a 10g with my banana plant that is doing quite well - yes fishclubgirl - I can grow Banana Plants :tongue:

    Tank inhabitants are schenops mollies, red velvet swordtails a token betta (needs to be jarred), 2 pygmy cory's and 2 BN plecos. Also an assortment of plants.

    refillable CO2, about 1.7 wpg - i can do 3wpg if needed, ferts, flourish, trace, iron and potassium weeklyand about 78 degrees. No idea on chemistry - never bother with the kit.

    Any advice appreciated!!!

  3. Ok so I take the opportunity to clean all my filters since I have EMergency filters on the tanks and I dump out the reserve on the Biowheel and I find a schenops molly female. How in the world did she get in there and how long has she been there? She is fine and there was no media in in just the wheel more for water movement. She must have gotten in the cup when I was filling the reserve but still.

  4. Yes I am definately says your BN are too busy shopping at Ikea and they haven't had much luck convincing each other to get a great big shelving unti and some big tanks for the twinkle in their eyes kids to grow out in :hey:

    I'd love a few BN - I will trim it back always so sad to do and fert 1 x wk. Now to find a better light for that tank. Damn 30" tanks.

  5. I was thinking of pruning the affected leaves and just getting into its flourite pot.

    Should I use my ferts once or twice a week until this is cleared?

    I use Flourish complete, trace, iron and potassium.

    Maybe I will get a pair of BN plecos. They are cut and I can always use another cute fish for my daughter to gush over - LOL.

    Maybe mine wont be to busy shopping at Ikea :tongue:
