G'night! I'm heading off too.

Amazon Prime has been a blessing and a curse. I save so much when I order but I'm sure I order more than I should just because of it. <_<

Sounds like your sorority is pretty peaceful.

Oh, almost forgot. I know OFL said floating plants are great for oxygenating but they also hide the light for the plants growing underneath. Something to consider.

He had that nice double tail too. Stupid tetra heater.

I'm really glad to hear Alala is doing so well. Sounds like she's not letting her disabilities get her down at all. :D You gave her a good name, it gave her a fighting spirit.

Nice! I never got to see a pic of Faron until now. He was so handsome! Love his colors. How's Alala doing? Has her gill cover grown back?

Makes sense to use it that way. Most of the people I talk to are on the forum anyway so I just use that as my "social media" site. XD

Haha. I have photobucket and that's about it. I don't even have facebook. XD

If you are linking from photobucket, then type until you want to insert a pic. Click on the little mountain icon that kinda looks like a postcard. Copy and paste the photobucket URL and that will insert the file.

If you are uploading photos, upload all of the photos you want to use. Then type until you reach a point where you want to insert a pic. Go up to the little paper clip icon and click it and a list of the photos should appear. Click on the photo you want and insert it into the post. Keep typing until you want to insert another pic. When you click on the paper clip, it should say something like "manage attachments."

Yeah, I guess that's why all the best planted tanks are really long and really shallow. The shallower they are, the easier it is for the light to reach the bottom. At least that's what my LFS guy told me. Also makes it easier to work in, too. But I know how you feel. They start out looking so nice and then after a month, they look really scraggly. >.< Goodness knows my 20g does.

Lots of plants are like that. It means the lower part of the stems aren't getting enough light. My bacopa caroliniana has done that and so will bacopa monnieri and wisteria.

If you don't use anything copper-based, I think most ferts are okay with shrimp.

hmm, I had absolutely noo idea about the bacteria on the driftwood thing. Thanks for the info. :) I'll definitely be more careful if I get more driftwood.
