As a beginner and wanting something simple to start out with, my first plant was the Java Moss. This was recommended to me by the guy at my local store as being the one that I would find the easiest being that it was my…
Java Moss is a very low maintenance plant for beginners and one that is very easy to keep. It doesn't take a lot of time and it's perfect if you are new to keeping plants as a startup as you work your way to maybe…
I absolutely love flowering aquatic plants, especially the ones that bloom and have colors on them. They really do brighten up the aquarium and I love that. My most favorite when it comes to these kinds of plants are…

Your favourite Plants?
As someone who loves to keep things simple and easy to manage, I would have to say my most favorite for a freshwater tank would have to be Java Moss. It's one of the easiest plants to manage and it looks great in the…
I would have to agree with Li0nFish. One of the worst things about keeping fake plants in an aquarium is the cleaning of them and they always seem to get the worst dirt in the places that are hard to reach but you don't…
It really depends on the size of your tank and how much time you have to put in to take care of a plant. I know that Java Moss is one of the easiest to take care of and grow and is great for beginners who are just…
I would say it depends on what you use in your tank for the water as to whether it would be safe for your plants. If you are using some chemicals in your water, I would definitely check to see if they would be safe to…

Algae Eaters?
It would really help if you could tell us what kind of algae you are having an issue with. There are a lot of algae eaters for saltwater tanks but as said above, many only eat a certain kind of algae so just getting any…
Many do not realise that algae can be a problem in salt water tanks but it very much is. There are quite a few types of algae that form in a saltwater tank that you do need to keep an eye out for. Here is a list of the…
From what you have described it seems that lighting may be a huge factor is how it's gone from appearing to just blooming everywhere. How much lighting does your tank get? Is it in a place where any kind of sun light…

Need little adviced
I would definitely not advise putting acara in with goldfish at all. Getting two separate tanks if you can that would be a better option as they as stated above both need different size tanks and different temperature…
I myself have not used driftwood for my tanks in the past but I do have friends that have used driftwood in their tanks. They bought the driftwood from the store that was not in water, and it varied on how long it would…
I myself learned the hard way a lot of don't when it came to my first aquarium and its many things you wouldn't even think of. The first thing I learned was to not overcrowd my aquarium which is something I don't think…

Is Superglue safe?
I would be very wary of using super glue in a tank if I am honest, it just seems like one of those glues that would be really toxic and would cause harm to my fish so wouldn't take the risk. Silicone is something I…
I have always been wary about anything designer or anything that is an odd shape with a tank as I would always worry that it would crack with the pressure of the water needed within the tank. I think that if the person…
It wasn't something that happened to only me, but it was something that happened when I was younger and living at home with my parents. We had a huge tank that would stand on the floor, we had it placed in front of the…
I will admit that I am someone who will after a while get bored of a layout of something and I am such a pain for it. When I had my tank, I would set it out how I was happy with it and how my fish would be happy with…

Decorations?
When I had my tank the main things, I had in there were shells, rocks and some aquatic plants as well. I found the way I had it all set up it looked really nice, wasn't overcrowded and the fish seemed happy with their…
When I had my fish tank I would always do small water cleaning weekly without fail, I had myself in a routine where I would do it at the same day every week so that I knew it would be clean and I would not have any…
Being someone that has never needed to use a heater I haven't needed to place one in any position but if I was to have a heater that I needed to place, I would definitely place it horizontal rather than vertical mainly…
