    Stocking Fluval Edge 6 Gallon

    No it isnt. If there is an inch per gallon and i have a 6 gallon and 6 tetras that works fine. My tetras do not looked stressed at all and their colors are very vibrant in the tank, they swim back and forth and dont even nip at each other. And when you tell me that the tank is too small, i am...

    Stocking Fluval Edge 6 Gallon

    Try amano shrimp they are bigger and i have 2 male bettas with shrimp and they dont bother them at all. I have neon tetras in my 5 gallon you could try that. In my opinion pygmy corys are too big for a 6 gallon considering that you need atleast 3 of them.

    Ich problem

    Yes i change the water twice a week and suck the tank really good. I took out charcoal from the filter and all levels are normal.

    I need some Stocking Input.

    I made my 5 gallon an amazon tank with an amazon sword, shrimp, neon tetras and it looks amazing and there are tannins in the water so it actually looks like the amazon.

    How long until this Platy gives birth?

    Bacterial Bloom???

    Did you rinse the filters usually after gravel vacumming my tank it gets cloudy but it settles it just might take a while because you have a big tank.

    I have a 30 gallon high with 5 leopard longfin danios, 5 bloodfin tetras, 3 cory catfish, 4 platys, 1 gourami, 1 pleco. The corys and pleco are juveniles so are not that big yet.

    This is my alligator snapping turtle he doesnt have a name but is friendly and is very cool to watch eating. I got him 2 years ago and i got him at the size of a quarter. He is very determined to catch every single goldfish that i put in his tank and he sometimes gets too impatient and chases...

    Amano shrimp are cool mine paddle to the top and they bear hug the flakes and eat them it is funny.

    Danio baby

    Ya I read that about amano shrimp too. They need brakish water. I left a male and female in a tank for one xay and they laid eggs but i dident see any so I thought that they dident. Guess that i dident look hard enough. They look so cool as babies they are clear. What kind of danios do you have...

    I also bred them in hard water which is shocking.

    Danio baby

    I let my danios breed in a seperate tank and i did not think that they spawned but i took them out anyways. I ended up putting platy fry in their and i just found one danio baby i do not know how he survived i dident feed him. I am surprised that i did not suck hum up during a water change and...

    I do both of those already i was just wondering if their was an alternative but thanks for the feedback.

    Pregnant guppies & one platy

    I dont reccomend putting them in a breeder box, but once the fish seems safe and comfortable she will give birth. The fry will hide in the plants.

    Betta Imbellis (Peaceful Betta)

    Female bettas are usually less agressive than males in a community tank and can be a great addition to a community tank.

    Platy fry

    I have 30 platy fry in a 5 gallon aquarium and they are with a snail. I was wondering if their some kind of fish or crustacean that could eat the flakes that fall to the bottom. But i want it to be peacefull and not eat the fry. I was thinking amani shrimp but they might eat the fry. Any...

    Sudden Cory cat death

    Petsmart fish always die. Also fish some times get too stressed when in a new tank and they die.

    Serpae Tetra close to dying

    I have tetras and danios in a 30 gallon and they still fin nip a little it so a 10 gallon is way too small. When i first got my tetras they din nipped one small danio and he quickly healed because he was in a bigger tank and could hide until he was better A quarantine tank is your best option.

    Serpae Tetra close to dying

    Does my guppy look to be squaring off?

    Looks like she is pregnant and squaring off. She looks like she is going to give birth very soon. How long since she had her last batch of fry?
  38. Derekshatch

    Needing help !? Gouramis !

    Gouramis have bubble nests so the male and female need to be together.
