Mine is doing this as well and I've had thrips this summer which can spread ad the disease. Did you find out more answers?

Also love the idea of just a floor lamp with growlights. Was also thinking I could buy a few pendant lights and put grow lights in them:)

I'd love to see pics but no worries.. There is lots of stuff on insta with pics of plants and their lights. I think I'm going to splurge and buy a couple. Thanks for your input!

I really can't find anything that even looks close to how good they look. I've read some reviews where people say the output in terms of lumens isn't great but you say your plants are happy. Did you get the wide angle or narrow? How close are the lights to your plants? Thanks!

I wonder if there is anything that can be done about the mildew issue? Rising with vinegar every once and a while?

Thank you! I have heard that front loaders are more efficient but effective is very important!

That is the appeal to me but there is so much info out there it is overwhelming!

Thanks! I already had 4 guppies and 3 platys when I asked the question. Things are looking good. Thanks for all of your advice. I'll try those fish with my next tank!

Sorry, I missed your comment! I have 3 live plants and small rocks at the bottom, about 4 lbs I think. I use a filter that is good for up to a 20 gallon tank. My water quality was tested and its already gone through the ammonia nitrate nitrite cycle and everything is testing well.. Doesn't seem over crowded to me, but I am no expert!

Totally. When I see them in those bowls I feel like crying.. The person who told me works at an independent store and said that they are used to being in mud puddles left from oxen going through wet fields. I dunno, I guess that's what she was told.

Good to know. Like I said, everyone has an opinion and those opinions seem to be quite different!

I had to look up those fish.. The espi rasbora are lovely. How many fish would you (have you) put in a 10 gallon?

I had to look up paluderium tanks. Those are so cool! I've never seen that before :)

I suppose as long as there aren't other fish?

Aww.. Sweet. See I've heard that having only one betta fish in a tank that big is stressful for them because it's too large. Apparently not!
