I've been stockpiling a bookmark folder of bowl-scapers. I plan on introducing it in a post about bowl scaping, but I'll leave this here for now...

"Hoplisoma sp. aff concolor Rio Tomo CW217
Sensational is the import of this beautiful new #Hoplisoma. According to the supplier, it comes from a small tributary of the Rio #Tomo in eastern #Colombia. The fishermen refer to this flow as the Cano Negro. The water is...
ScapeCrunch family,
As many of you know, I am a big fan of aquarium automation to function as a tool helping you with aquarium husbandry. This not only makes your life easier but also helps to maintain consistency when we get lazy or busy and can even save the day in case of an emergency. This...

Hi! I know that at times it can be difficult to know whether or not a plant is right for your tank. There are lots of things to consider when purchasing a new addition to your planted aquarium: What size is the tank? What other plants and fish are already in there? What inverts are in there? Is...
