Right. I never considered neons with the African cichlid or Oscar. Good to know that the gourami would eat them though.

Not necessarily. But I'd still like them to hang out together. Um so will the neons and cardinals school together?

Oh I keep them with the t barbs now. What is the issue with the neons and three spots?

Ooo how do these fish help? I have danios in another tank but I can move them here. Also neon tetra

Does anyone know a good and cheap chlorine tester? My API master kit doesn't test chlorine. I'd love to experiment.

How incredibly helpful that post was

In the seachem thread the tech support person said that if chlorine/chloramine are ur only issues with daily water changes u can dose only what is being changed. So apparently the other interaction is only if u don't change often. I also find it interesting that it says it treats 5mg/l...

So only one of these is left. Normally I wouldnt even think of this but went to a restaurant with a huge tank that had a bunch of unmixables in it. Can I successfully put this single fish in my 55 with rainbow shark angels gourami ?

I'm still stuck on the idea that water has a certain amount of chlorine. If I mix 15 gallons of Chlorinated water with 40 gallons of dechlorinated water, I now have 55 gallons of chlorinated water but chlorinated at a much lower concentration. Example above: tap water is .300mg/l I'll say a...

Yeah no matter what ppl say I'm prob still only gonna dose for what I replace. Is anyone with me on saying this is sufficient? Any nasties in ur hot water tank would still be there if u put it in a bucket first. So that is a moot point. I am under the impression the danger of chlorine may...

55 gallon tank. Should be enough room right?

Will cardinals and neons school/shoal together? I have 13 neons and would like some cardinals (they're on sale for $1 now too) Also right now I have them with tiger barbs and zebra danio and nothing in the tank really schools much at all. Anything I can do to help them school?

Ok, so better forget adding different gouramis for now huh? I do have 13 neon tetras in another tank that I'd be glad to put in there. Would the blue gouramis be ok with other varieties of female in there? I don't think they're hard to sex so I could make sure just one male. Can I keep tiger...

So at this point I've settled on 3 angels (hoping they don't pair up so I can keep all 3) so right now I've got: 3 angels 4 blue (3 spot) gourami 1 rainbow shark 5 assorted mollies a few glass shrimp By my counting I can add about 42 more mature inches of fish to my 55. (I go with 2" per...

Does anyone know?

What are your water conditions?

The younger spouse says it takes a bit of time to work. So I guess then it's an almost instant bit of time?

How much time does dechlorinator take to work?

What is the reasoning behind dosing the entire tank? I figure that there is only enough chlorine for the 15 gallons in there so y would I need more? Not disagreeing just want to know why. My API master test kit doesn't test for chlorine. Anyway this is my friends water that's blue and I put it...

Well mine just randomly roam the tank. No schooling most of the time. But I've had them with danios and with neons. Really I think they're more of an issue with fins than general aggression.

How can the ammonia be disappearing other than by the bacteria converting to nitrites?

From what I understand neon tetras are not the hardiest of fish. Perhaps someone in ur area would be willing to accept them. Unfortunately most of the helpful bacteria is in the filter which is gone. You need to do like huge 90% water changes a day while cycling from what I've gleaned here. Also...

Two questions. One simple. I'm using the hose/faucet method for water changes. I have a 55 g tank. Changing about 15 gallons. After draining the 15 I know I need to dechlorinate before refilling. Do I put enough in the tank to treat the 15 gallons of new water or the whole 55? Or is it even...

I've heard boiling can make them explode. So what is the best way. These are like 2 pretty large ones I'm using to make a hiding place

And can I then keep that trio or quad in a 20 gallon tank?

Haha nothing to be sorry about. When u say hybrid any idea a hybrid of what? So r u saying one is bright orange and the others are light orange. I'm just looking for info on what their needs are and what I can expect from them.

So what I read about it being necessary to overcrowd African cichlids doesn't play put here? Upon a closer check, I might have to admit there is a tinge of orange to the yellow ones especially at certain angles but with this comparison I think there is a clear difference between the orange and...

I saw where u can buy a water change kit but I see it's expensive and basically a gravel vac with a sink adapter and a larger hose. Has anyone successfully made their own who would like to share some pointers. I guess a very important piece will be getting the right size tubing from home depot...

Sweet. I just googles them and it says the males are blue. So I guess that means I have all females. But it makes me happy to think that I can add 1 male and get that blue I was thinking about. I hope these are what I have. So at 3 inches 3-5 of these in a 20 should be fine with only 1 male...

Ok thanks. If they are salousi is a 20 gallon tank good for them? And can I just keep the 3 fish or will I need some other fish? They also had the same thing with red eyes but I avoided those BC I don't like red eyes. If I can or do need something else I'd like to consider something blue.

So red zebras can be yellow? I will try for some better pics here. One of them is orange but the other 2 are yellow as a yellow crayon. Must have been the pic.

Please tell me what device you were talking about purchasing at lowes.

So red zebras can be yellow? I will try for some better pics here.

I know the rule of thumb but also that certain fish need bigger anyway etc.

Hey i have 2 yellow and 1 orange. there are pics in the african cichlid forum. walmart said they would get like 3-4" i think... can i keep them in a 20g or do they need bigger?

Does anyone recognize these?

Here are some not so good pics. I hope someone can tell something from these.

I'll let him know. And yes he has a 75 gallon tank that he's setting up this week
