Re: Glass Catfish Tank?

Another question. Will the glass cats jump? I will have a light over an open tank for the plants. Most loaches may jump, right?

Re: Glass Catfish Tank?

Thank you for the replies. I will have to see what I find locally. I will not be setting up this tank for a couple of months, but this gives me a good idea. I keep going back and forth on what to keep. I am also considering some loaches - zebra or something. What about shrimp? Would the glass cats ...

Re: 1st post, can you help me create the perfect tank for corys?

I have not been keeping cory cats for very long, but they are doing well, as are other catfish in my 55 with my current substrate.

Re: what is eating my plants?

The aufwuchs/algae eating plecs do chew on plants, often for the algae that grows on them. The side-effect is that they can damage the plants themselves. Well fed plecs tend to be less destructive. Ah - okay. My other bottom feeders are probably eating up the food too quickly - I need to do more ...

what is eating my plants?

I have a L200 and a L187 in a planted tank. I added some type of red sword plant a couple of weeks ago and the leaves are being eaten pretty bad. Also the Amazon swords that are in the tank are beginning to be eaten as well. I added both fish about two weeks ago also. I have removed some snails ...
