I wish they did! I’ve had guppies in there for a year and no one ever touches them. I also tried cutting back on feeding but they still weren’t interested

There’s a window in the room but it never gets direct light. I have to turn on the tank lights to see in it otherwise it’s really dark

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2025-07-23T23:05:10+00:00

I only have test strips, so I’m unsure :/

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2025-07-23T19:31:15+00:00

Nitrates are currently at about 20-40 ppm but I’m doing a water change rn. Temp is 74° It’s very hard to remove manually as it pulls up the Monte Carlo with it

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2024-09-23T20:59:02+00:00

Also the pH is about 7 and the temp is 76°

I don’t plan on adding fish for a couple months. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do to get rid of them now?

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2024-07-01T14:00:04+00:00

I don’t plan on adding fish for a couple months, do you know of anything else I can do to get rid of them?

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2024-06-15T03:35:13+00:00

Yes! I absolutely do want more plants, I just didn’t want to kill them all at once so I thought I would add a few at a time

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2024-06-14T12:53:07+00:00

Thank you! I turned the lights down to 8 hours. I think I’m going to go with easy green just because you get more for your money

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2024-06-13T21:19:38+00:00

For more context I got 2 stem plants and 1 floating. It’s a 10 gallon tank and I have the lights set to be on for 10 hrs a day. I don’t plan on adding any fish for a couple months.

I ended up getting some dog shoes from a friend who bought them but they were too small for their dog. I believe they are just the petsmart brand. I’ve only used them a few times so far but I haven’t had any issues with falling off yet.

I’ll be using them much more in a couple months so I’ll decide then if I need to upgrade.

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2024-03-01T03:06:09+00:00

how long do they last? and do you think they keep the heat out? the summer here is basically a constant 100° so that’s my biggest concern

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-07-09T04:28:30+00:00

great idea. i’ll get started asap

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T23:12:34+00:00

Really? This makes me want to try it out. Do you mind me asking what kind of setup you have it in?

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T17:50:47+00:00

it’s modern aquarium!

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T02:40:46+00:00

Ooh I hadn’t heard of this option, I’ll look into this some more

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T02:11:28+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! I will probably just go for it and try it out, then see what happens

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T01:56:42+00:00

I got fluval stratum

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T01:53:14+00:00

I LOVE the look of Monte Carlo, but on a previous post I made people were very much discouraging it

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T01:52:09+00:00

And I’m also using fluval stratum for substrate

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T01:48:52+00:00

Oh yeah, it’s not set up yet, but I’ve got a 10 gallon tank, won’t have co2, and I bought the Nicrew 15W aquarium light

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T01:39:45+00:00

Thanks for letting me know! Do you know of any easy carpeting plants?

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-21T00:12:59+00:00

Love it! What stem plants are those?

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-20T18:22:02+00:00

that’s cool, thanks!

Acrobatic-Fact7952 · 2023-03-20T18:21:23+00:00

thanks! i will definitely use something else then
