    Carbon and Indian Almond Leaves?

    I understand, I only use carbon if I ever needed to remove meds from the water. I was only going to use it to remove tannins if it left everything else behind, but since my fish love the leaves so much I decided to tale the carbon out earlier to day and throw a few more leaves in. Back to the...

    Carbon and Indian Almond Leaves?

    I currently use Indian almond leaves in my 50 gallon for my leaf bed. My fish love the leaf bed but I'm not sure if I still like the black water look. My question is when adding carbon to the filter ( which I don't normally have in there) will it only removes the tannins or will it also...

    First time Dwarf tank. Have stock ideas, looking for opinions please.................

    Thanx for the suggestions. I decided on a group of marble hatchets. Are they really that bad of jumpers ? Do they actually try to jump during feeding's if they get spooked? Are they annoying to keep or is more if there isn't a proper Canopy that is sealed tight that they will eventually get...

    First time Dwarf tank. Have stock ideas, looking for opinions please.................

    Weird but I've never even looked at one in person before. Are there any particular types that are nicer? Are they a true top dwelling fish or more of mid/top layer?

    I was thinking maybe a school of hatchets but they are kind of ugly. My cardinals ten to be more mid level then anything and I would like something at the top. Any suggestions? Am I not pushing my limits for stock. Seems OK now but when they all grow out?

    Can't find leaves? Fake leaves?

    The Amy girl i bought them from on Ebay also sells them on aquabid.she had really good reviews. i think we are zone 3 and it would get to cold here for the almond trees.

    Can't find leaves? Fake leaves?

    I don't know if they became more or less but they definitely get wet and decay under the snow. I do have some under my patio but they're all maple trees I cant find any oak. pretty sure winters are much worse here and a lot more snow. either way ordered almond leaves from amy on ebay. I think...

    Can't find leaves? Fake leaves?

    It's currently spring here in Canada and and there is only new growth on all the trees around here. I've been looking for oak leaves and there may be some leaves that didn't rot away in the bush over the winter and that's it. It seems like oak leaves would be what I'm looking for. My question...

    Suggestions on diet for South American Community tank?

    Once in the morning with the flake food and sinking pellets and once at night. I think it might also be that it's heavily planted and food is getting caught up in the plants.
