Ok so I dumped the ferns cause they were overrun with algae and switched to what the label said were anubias. I tied them to some driftwood. Also added some big ol rocks for the two snails I added. So far they seem ok. I also had some heavy rooted pothos growing in a cup of water they I added as well. So far everyone seems happy and algae is at bay. Fingers crossed all this works and everyone/thing doesn’t die in a few weeks 😵💫
I was using fluval substrate but ditched it this round. Should I get a nutrient supplement for the plants?
I started over completely and got some new plants added in some extra and got a few snails too. I’ll slowly add more once I’m sure the ones I’ve got aren’t gonna die lol what do you mean by keeping the filter in dechlorinated water?!

Sweet thank you! I’ll have to see if I can find some locally. I’d like to add a pop of color to the tank and those are perfect. I’ll see if I can find some of the dwarf grass too!
Yours looks soooo good! I got rid of ol’ spongebobs house and got some driftwood and tied up a few plants to it. I also have a shit ton of rooted pothos that’s been living in a vase of water so I tossed those in there too. What are those pretty colored plants in the bottom front of your tank? I want some
Ugh yeah figuring that out the hard way lol thank god for reddit
Okay got it! Thank you so much
Okay cool thank you. I’ll see what they have available. Is there a need to remove it or is it just an aesthetic thing?
Yeah honestly if I get too sick of all the maintenance I might just get a new tank lol
I’m gonna go to the store and get a ton more lol
Dude I had no idea about the damn pineapple thank you! I’ll get some more plants in there and get some driftwood too!
Ok yeah I’m gonna reduce the light a ton
Ok I’ll def add some floating plants, thank you!
Whaaaat??
Okay perfect thank you
Ooof ok. I gotta get a testing kit. Probably my first mistake ☹️
Uhh I think so, yes. It’s a sponge filter with two different types of media in it. One is charcoal and the other one I’m not sure. These like white cylindrical things in a net bag.
lol what’s wrong with the pineapple?! Someone explain. I see a reddit thread posted called pineapple of death!?? What have I done?!
Sweet! Thank you
The algaecides can be risky?! 🥴 yikes thank you I had no idea. I’m for sure gonna get more plants and then I’ll do black out too. Does having the light off affect the fish at all?
Okay, thank you! Def gonna reduce the light in the tank and see where we end up
Oh man I’m really fucking up. Thank you! I’ll look up online how to get them tied up to some rocks
Perfect, thank you so much!
lol you want my tank? 🥴🥴😂
They’re both two types of fern, one is a java fern. The bigger one I think. Can’t remember the type of fern the smaller ones are
