You are off to a great start :good:

That actually is a picture of the front of the tank. The perspective is off, the tank is 31" tall and only 21" long and is about 50 gallons. Right now I am just using nutrient rich substrate without CO2. Want to see how the plants do without adding CO2.

Thanks guys! The plants will grow in and fill up some of the empty space.

What do you guys think of this tank setup? Dimensions of the tank are 21" long x 18.5" wide x 31" tall. Stocking: 1 veil angelfish 3 silver hatchetfish 1 rubber lip pleco 2 megalechis thoracata 1 peacock eel Wish my camera took better pictures so I could show you how good this tank looks...

Those look like Angel eggs. Watch out, they will get territorial and try to kill all of the other fish in the tank. You may have to get a new tank just for the pair.

My other two tanks consist of: 55 gallon long 2 melon discus (pair) 1 golden dojo loach 8 black neon tetras 4 cardinal tetras 5 oto catfish 2 yoyo loaches 4 corydoras trilineatus *loaches were purchased to combat a snail problem. Decided to completely redo the tank and keep them in the tank...

Filtration on the tank is a Fluval 305. Water quality has been perfect since the tank has been set up which was about a year ago.

I currently have a 42 gallon hexagon Oceanic tank that is leaking in two places. After sending the company an email it was apparent that I would need my original receipt for a replacement. Not being able to find the receipt I had to go out and purchase another tank before the leak got worse...

:hyper:

Very nice looking tank! Really like the live plants. Adding a blue background would make your tank look a ton better.

Getting a new 55 gallon long tank and I am trying to decide what to add. So far I have figured: 4 Corydoras (Corydoras trilineatus) (4 * 2.5" = 10") 12 Cardinal Tetras (12 * 1.5" = 18") 4 Oto Catfish (4 * 1.5" = 6") 4 Bumblebee Gobys (4 * 1.75"= 7") Maybe some Bamboo Shrimp? That leaves me...

The Eel is under the gravel. Run your fingers through it and he will come out. Some Peacock Eels will spend most of their time hiding.

I am not sure what type of Pleco this is. Could someone please help me ID it? This is the only picture I have of it.

42 gallon

What can be added to a tank with a group of 15 Cardinal Tetras and 4 Otos? Can Discus or Rams be added into a tank with them?

Take it out and bring it back to your local fish store. Just tell them it is too agressive for your tank.

All of my local fish stores use the exact same test kit that I purchased. To make sure my results were accurate I just tested the Nitrates again and got the same result.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Cracking tank? What looks to be a crack is actually some algae. It has been dealt with since those pictures were taken.

I hope it doesn't die, it was expensive. What could the 0ppm nitrate reading mean?

All of the plants are real. The plant in the lower left corner has been in the tank for about 3.5 months and is thriving. It was purchased from the same place as the other plants. I do not remember the exact name of that plant; however, it looks really cool. Most of the plants in the tank...

Water test picture: Here are a couple pictures of the tank:

The tank has been set up for about 8 months. I will take a picture of the tubes with the water in them.

My 42 gallon tall tank is stocked with: 2 Silver Hatchetfish 3 Veil Tail Angelfish 2 Blue Rams 1 Gold Ram 2 Oto Catfish 1 Armored Catfish 1 Peacock Eel 1 Rubber Lip Pleco The test showed: Nitrate: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Ammonia: 0 ppm pH: 7.2 Are these optimal levels for my fish?

I wouldn't bother putting them together. You would probably end up with dead Angelfish.

PRW1988, thank you for the information. I was thinking about adding some more otos. Here is a picture of the tank: My camera stinks in low light.

You are right, I am still at a loss for what I should add to the tank. My 42 gallon tall tank consists of: 2 - 2" bodysize, 6"+ with fins Veil Angelfish 2 - 2.5" German Blue Rams 2 - 1.5" Silver Hatchetfish (These two chased and killed two others that were in the tank) 2 - 1" Oto Catfish 1 -...

I love Congo Tetras but they are so expensive. :(

When I turn my bubble wall on, my Angelfish swim over and watch the bubbles rise to the top of the tank. It keeps them busy for the whole day. My Pleco is also amazed by the wall, he sits behind the bubbles and swims up and down the side of the tank. :hyper:

What would you recommend as a small schooling fish that can be put with Angels? Preferably something that is calm and colorful.

bummer :(

Will there be any problems putting Cardinal Tetras in with Angelfish and Rams?

42 gallon tall: 3 Silver Hatchetfish - 1.5" each 2 Veil Angels (1 gold and 1 striped) - 4" each 2 German Blue Rams - 2.5" each 2 Gold Rams - 1.25" each 2 Oto Catfish - 1" each 1 Peacock Eel - 5.5" 1 Rubberlip Pleco - 2.5" 1 Armored Catfish (Megalechis thoracata) - 3.5"

Thank you guys!

I purchased the catfish pictured below and was told that it was a Porthole Catfish. At the time of purchase it was about 1.5" long. Since then, about four months, it has grown to 3.5". From what I was told, a Porthole is only supposed to get up to 4-5" max. My catfish looks different than...

Three-fingers thanks again for the Hatchetfish recommendation. I am loving the new addition to my tank. Also, I think my Angels are happy the crazy Gourami is gone.

I have decided to take my Dwarf Gourami back to the pet store. It killed the other Dwarf Gourami that I had in the tank and is making the Hatchet Fish stay at the bottom of the tank.

I bought a couple silver hatchet fish today. However, my Gourami hates them and is trying to kill all of them!!! I don't know what to do now. :(

Thank you for the recommendations guys.

What would you recommend as a top swimming fish? I have a 42 gallon tall that is stocked with: 2 Veil Angels 2 German Blue Rams 2 Otos 1 Peacock Eel 1 Dwarf Gourami 1 Porthole Catfish 1 Rubberlip Pleco I am looking for a fish that swims around the very top of the tank and likes to be on its...
