I can answer any questions relating to aquatic plants and their care. I have had tons of experience working on my clients' aquaria as well as my own. By working on so many, I have encountered more varying situations than the average aquarium owner. I also have independently studied classical organic chemistry. I am pretty knowledgeable about compressed CO2 injection systems as well. | |

I can answer questions related to common freshwater aquatic plant species. I can also answer questions about any aspect of freshwater fish care. *This is the place where you can ask me questions if I am ‘Maxed Out’ in my main category, ‘Freshwater Aquarium’.* Questions regarding care, trimming, and general conditions are welcomed. There are many plants available in the hobby that would go well with most fish. There are very easy to care for plants, and I can advise you on what's best for your setup. Plants in a freshwater aquarium setting generally require three things, light, presence of nutrients, and minimal fish aggression towards the plant(s). I can also answer questions related to any problems you may encounter with freshwater plants. I cannot answer and technical questions related to pressurized CO2 injection systems, nor questions about saltwater aquariums. |

Hi Jeremy, From what you've described, it's not very likely that your Bala will survive. Your description sounds like the shark has something of a mixed infection, as white 'residue' could be any of
2009-11-02 What types of aquatic plants would be best for me?:
There are many species of freshwater plants that would go well with your tank. There's only one problem - most freshwater plants will not tolerate salt. Mollies don't actually need salt. They can be kept
