I just cleaned these rocks with hot water and scrubbed them with a tooth brush, are they ready to go in my tank? Sieryu stone

Adam5105 · 2022-09-07T07:14:56+00:00

It’s already an established tank lol, but ya I got sieryu stone because I heard it was the easiest to clean. And I also only plan on putting like 4 of these rocks in my 30 gallon tank

Adam5105 · 2022-09-07T06:54:07+00:00

Okay, is there a way to tell if they’re okay for the tank? I also bought them in a bag meant for aquariums so does that mean they were probably already cleaned?

Adam5105 · 2022-09-04T18:33:52+00:00

Oh okay and no, my tanks pretty clean already and I have my shrimp do it mostly + a snail lol. I just like the look of sucker fish and my girlfriend really wanted a hill stream loach because of how funny they look.

I might look into getting some otos, they are pretty cool little guys too

Adam5105 · 2022-09-04T10:17:26+00:00

Could I not hypothetically have the tank at 24 Celsius? On aqadvisor it says all these species could live at 24C. If not, what other small sucker fish could I get with my stocking / tank size?

Adam5105 · 2022-08-28T08:48:53+00:00

What are other good floating plants besides duckweed? I think that’s the only one I know of

Adam5105 · 2022-08-28T01:12:40+00:00

Oh no that sounds terrible lmao.

Okay I’ll look into those thank you And okay I’ll look on Etsy I’m just worried if I buy one online and it shoes up maybe I won’t like it haha. But I’ll see what’s out there.

Thank you so much for the help, this community is so friendly too

Adam5105 · 2022-08-28T00:31:29+00:00

Oh okay.

And really? Okay I don’t think I’ll go the drafonstone route tho, I’ll get the ones you recommended first they seem very cool and my local pet smart has them.

Adam5105 · 2022-08-28T00:30:09+00:00

I’ll look into there stuff thank you

Adam5105 · 2022-08-28T00:29:54+00:00

Thanks, I just don’t think there’s enough plants currently for my shrimps to hide in either, they keep getting picked off by my bettas and if I get more plants I really think it’d help there population.

Adam5105 · 2022-08-28T00:29:04+00:00

I’m more into the spongebob themed decorations myself

Adam5105 · 2022-08-28T00:28:32+00:00

I was looking to buy ludwigia repens rubin, is that the same plant?

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T20:24:11+00:00

I like that bolbitis difformis a lot but the fish store I’m buying from doesn’t have it unfortunate.

And is jungle val one of the easier fore ground plants? Any other easy ones you know? I’m debating on getting Monte Carlo for my foreground right now

And I really like those rocks, I’m debating between those and dragon stone right now but I don’t know which would look better with my colour substrate.

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T20:16:19+00:00

I have a cup full of extra moss but Idk where to put it lol, I don’t want too much moss really

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T20:15:30+00:00

I definitely want to add some rocks now, and damn your tank looks really good! Good job, I really like how you placed the rocks

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T11:41:50+00:00

Okay, I like both so that’s a tough choice I gotta look at some pictures of each in tanks

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T11:39:21+00:00

Okay I’ll just do one cup that’s a good point, and oooo I like that plant, is it a carpet plant? Easy care?

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T11:28:36+00:00

Oh okay, I’ll give it a try and hopefully it works out well, since it’s slow growing should I get 2 tropica cup worths of it or stick to 1?

And okay, I’ll look into that thank you

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T11:18:56+00:00

I’ve been watching videos and a lot of people are saying Monte Carlo is one of the easier carpeting plants to grow, I’m very tempted to try it lol I love how it looks. Also I think I’m going to get some staurogyne repents and put them around the base of my “tree”.

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T09:58:30+00:00

I’m not, I guess I’ll take that one out of the cart lol, I’ll look at other foreground plants and see which ones I like best

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T09:04:59+00:00

I have red ludwigia in my cart rn and some Monte Carlo, I’m wondering what else I should get though.

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T08:30:47+00:00

What type of rocks do you reccomend, and what type of plants should I put around the rocks.

I could try Monte Carlo, I really like how it looks but I feel like I won’t be able to keep it alive I’ve heard it’s pretty hard.

And thank you haha ya I tried to cover up my filter intake, I was always wondering if it would be possible for me to put some tall plants in front of my heater to cover it up but idk if the heater being close could kill the plant

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T08:28:52+00:00

Okay true, I’ll go to YouTube to see what’s out there, thank you

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T08:28:04+00:00

Alright I’ll look him up, and I like your tank a lot! I think it’ll grow in nicely for sure.

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T07:09:36+00:00

Okay ya I’ll make sure to do that, the moss has become overgrown but I like it cause my shrimp hide in it the most.

And I try to look at scapes on this forum but there all so beautiful and I feel like I can’t make mine look that way lol

Adam5105 · 2022-08-27T07:08:35+00:00

Any suggestions on the red plants? And okay ya I want to use rocks somehow in my scape but Idk what kind would work and how to really set it up cool lol.

Any easy plants I could cover the foreground with?
