    Adding leaves to the tank

    Hi terrenlai - welcome to the forum. Only problem I see with adding leaves, in your setup, is that they will settle over the existing plants and block out light / collect algae. I am not familiar with that type of leaf, so I can't answer your question regarding that. If it were me, I would...

    July's POTM contest theme will be FULL TANK setups. Any aquatic setup (including vivariums, palladiums, and of course aquariums). Clean those tanks out, trim those plants, clean that glass, siphon that gravel/sand, replace those lights (seems to be a problem in my room), stock those fish...

    ID this fungus algae thing?

    Good to know dw. Have had this on wood (especially 'new' wood), when setting up tanks. Never found it to be harmful, just unsightly. I normally have to rub it a little to get it to come off. Thanks for the info and for the question aarhud.

    Yeah, that makes no sense to me. :) Shoot me a PM with some ideas on how to do that? I'll work with the admin and see what we can't do for next and future months.

    There should be a poll on this page; although, I am not familiar with Tapatalk, and whether it is compatible with polls. When I use standard mobile browser, I can see the poll at the top of the page.

    24 gallon setup

    I wouldn't; a single female apisto, generally regardless of species, is greater than two square feet. I think you would end up with some dead fish. Generally, I would not recommend mixing any apisto species in home aquaria.

    Small Harem of Steel Blues. No one is moving.

    See if you can't find some oak leaves at a park or somewhere they don't use herbicides/fertilizers. Put a huge wad of them in there -- that will give them tons of places to hide in.
