    Inridea and Uaupesi questions

    I know someone who just got some of these in and after doing a quick search didn't find too much information on them. The inridea in particular. Does anyone know what these guys require? Do they need softer water compared to others or do they have special requirements unique to their speices...

    Scientific names for the following...

    Thanks for the replies guys. That really cleared up a lot for me. Neil: The red-eyes weren't a planned addition. My boyfriend got them for me because he felt bad for them at the store. They were the last three and he didn't want them split up.

    Snail erradication options

    Ok, I take all my plants out; should I rinse them off or dip them in something? Or just eyeball them and pick off the snails I see? Then should I completely empty the tank of water take out all the gravel and rinse it? Won't that disrupt my first layer of laterite? Sorry for all the dumb...

    Snail erradication options

    Ok, I just got some plants + CO2 injector + powerhead + new lights today and after a couple of hours have noticed a few snails. I don't think more than five, but who can be sure? From what I am understanding, snails are bad, right? And copper gets rid of them? I have a bottle of SeaChem...

    Getting and Keeping water hardness down

    I am most interested in getting viejita's. Not sure how many I shoud get though. Ah, the snow. We just had a blizzard here, so right now, getting fresh snow will be quite easy as there is close to two feet on the ground. But you are right, spring will come some time, so I probably won't...

    Getting and Keeping water hardness down

    Hello Everyone, I am in the process of getting my apisto tank set up. Its been cycling for about 5 days now with a bag filled with peat. While my KH has lowered significantly (125 ppm to 98 ppm, still a ways to go, I know) my GH has remained the same at 150ppm. Should I get another filter...

    New to plants....LOTS of questions

    Hello all, I am going to set up an apisto breeding tank within the next month. It is a 20 gallon and I am planning on stocking it with a duo or trio of viejita's and some other fish (have not decided yet-not that far in the planning). I'm going to make it a planted tank and since I have never...
