Aquariums

AJ asked:


I’m looking for good quality, inexpensive rocks and driftwood for my freshwater aquarium. I don’t really know what qualifies as inexpensive, though. In local fish stores, I see slate and granite for about $1.29/lb., and small-to-medium sized driftwood for up to $30. Can anyone think of a better place to look for this stuff where it’s cheaper than a retail fish shop? I’m in Austin, TX, so local places would be much better.

I am wanting to place a few live plants in my newer aquarium but don’t really want to buy a stronger light. I am just wondering if there are plants that will do ok in lower light. I have a 20 gallon tank and it came with an overhead flourescent light that is only 15 watts. Any plants that would be ok with that lighting?

MJF asked:


I have a 10 gallon tank with one betta, four mollies two golden mystery snails. I have read that both bettas mollies like a small amount of aquarium salt in their water. Will this also agree with the snails?
If so, how much salt do I add?

Krysta d asked:


I bought some aquarium plants from a local store here. The lady doesn’t know what kind they are. They are long and skinny and have leaves going all the way around. I put them in my turtle tank and they love them! But I am wondering
1. What kind of plant this is? Similar plants they will eat?
2. How can I grow them at home?

Monique M asked:


What do I need to convert a Goldfish (black moor) from a 2 gallon aquarium to a 10 gallon aquarium? I have a large amount of gravel, water dechlorinater, and lots of food.
The aquarium I am getting has a filter, heater, hood, lights, thermometer, and a net.
Any other chemichals, tests, anything?
