Thank you so much. Your channel should have a lot more views and likes. This has been so helpful. I'm up to my fifth tank - one big one with community fish - doing so well. Two smaller tanks with guppy fry - doing great - another taller tank with two pregnant molly fish - great. There is ONE tank - the same tank that just gives me nightmares. I did it the same as the other tanks. I've cleaned it out - added thicker substraight - threw out the drift wood and just used a soaked rock - same plants as others - but I've no idea why IT is the one that gets cloudy. I only have a Betta fish in that one with six golden tetras and 2 albino bristlenose and two albino cory's. I think I need MORE plants - and probably better lighting?
Wow, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your amazing tank setup! It’s so exciting to see your passion for fishkeeping. For the cloudy tank, adding more plants and upgrading the lighting is a great idea. Cloudiness could also indicate an imbalance-maybe check water parameters like ammonia or nitrites. Since this tank has a Betta, golden tetras, bristlenose plecos, and corys, ensure you’re not overfeeding and that the filtration matches their bioload. Plants like Anubias or Java fern could help with clarity and stability too. Please let me know how it goes!

Hello! This is my first comment. 😁 I'm new to aquatic plants. I'm not new to growing plants or fishkeeping, but this my first time to combine my 2 fav hobbies. So far so good. I started super easy & low tech. I didn't even attempt to plant stems until recently. I've had some plants catch on & thrive, & others that can't seem to simply catch on no matter what. Java Fern & Bolbitis being my 2 big problems. You mentioned a CO2 supplement. Can any one recommend one to me?
Hi! Thanks for leaving your first comment-it means a lot! 😁 Combining fishkeeping and aquatic plants is such a rewarding journey, and starting low-tech is a great approach. Java Fern & Bolbitis can be a bit challenging. They do best attached to rocks or driftwood since their rhizomes need to stay exposed, and they thrive in low light with steady water flow. If they’re struggling, check for signs of algae or rhizome rot, and give them some time-they can take a while to establish. You’re doing great by experimenting and learning as you go!

I bought the liquid form of CO2 - yes it's worked well in all my tanks aside from one - but I think there is another issue in that one. xxx I used the most in my biggest tank (which is not huge really) and the plants are doing AMAZING. Hope this helps. I bought the API one. I actually STARTED with root stem plants - they are all doing amazing. xxx
Did you show us a ph controller showing 12,4!!??. That may be an issue for plants as well as fish😅. In my experience both melting and abnormal algae growt is both caused by low nitrogen levels. Lowering light for less consumption and/or add more nitrogen to the tank usually helps.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts-it’s always great to get feedback like this. You’re absolutely right; a pH reading of 12.4 can pose challenges for both plants and fish, and it’s something I’ll clarify in the future. I really appreciate your insights about nitrogen levels and lighting. Both are critical for maintaining a balanced aquarium, and your tips for addressing melting plants and abnormal algae growth are super valuable for viewers.
Thanks for the great question! You're right-8-10 hours of light can encourage algae if your tank isn’t balanced. Factors like plant density, nutrient levels, and regular maintenance play a big role. Try adjusting light duration to see what works for your tank! If you found this helpful, please like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more tips.

@dbcaquatics am always happy to support 😊
Just subscribed to your channel congratulations on thousand subscribers.
Thanks for subscribing! Glad to have you here - let’s get our aquariums looking awesome together!
I am in another class 😊
Another class? Well, I guess you’ll have to study both plant care and classroom survival techniques!

Wouldn’t having lights on for 8-10 hrs cause a lot of algae

I've found that too - it's a real game of chance. Plants love light - but so does algae.
