Can a Betta live with Cherry Shrimp? or would they be eaten? Are they compatible?

Good to keep that in mind about the substrate. Do Bettas mind what substrate they have?? Hatchetfish look like they are cool fish. How many would you put in a 90L tank? I've only got 9 neons in my 34L tank at the moment. I plan to move them to the 90L once it's cycled and settled. I would love...

Wow that's a long time for a fish to live!! I can put sand in, never done that but hey why not!! What other fish would suit a Bolivian Ram that live up the top. Also for future reference if you were moving house how would you transport fish (I bet they wouldn't li QUOTE="Byron, post: 3772413...

Would neon tetras and a Bolivian Ram go ok together in a 90L tank? If so would you just put 1 BRam in??

How's the cycling process going??

I did my first water test today. It was fun to do a bit of science and also check it out for myself. PH: 7.6 Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 0 ppm

woo hoo I just did my first water test. I finally got a water test kit and it's so fun doing a bit of science!! PH: 7.6 Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 0 ppm

Ok! I have a plant on a log starting with N?, can't remember what it's called but it's not doing so well. Some of the leaves are starting to go translucent and I think brown algae is growing on ithe leaves too! I have a Flourish tablets in the gravel but still not going well. I've also got...

Thanks!! NickAu I've been reading posts all over the place and you wrote on one thread that you don't vacuum your gravel -can I ask what is the benefit of not doing so?? :fish::fish::fish::fish::fish:

Thanks for that -the lady at the shop didn't know much about Bettas but neither do I. I am reading more and more about them. Reading threads from this site is really interesting too!!

:thanks: NickAu!! His name is Floyd. :fish:He's still some what pink so the name is staying :thumbs: Do you know what type of Betta Floyd is??

:thanks:for the replies!! He looks happy enough!!

I dont know too much about the fishless cycling process because I'm a newbie too. Putting in plants helped my tank and I got some advice to feed the tank a little fish food. My tank was only 34L so quite small so it didnt take too long.

I have only had my Betta a week now and he was at first pinky purple and now he has change colour -more purple. The first 2 pictures are of the betta at the fish shop just before I got him. The next 2 pictures are today. Would too much light cause this?? Should I be worried? Usually he has...

Just a question: how much would you pay off eBay/gumtree for a 90L tank? It's on there for $70

I might've asked this before but would you put cories with kuhli's? Or the other way around? (not in the 34L tank and not quite yet, just asking). I've been trying to do research on it and some said yes it's ok and some said never, too aggressive with one another

I really like the first 2 in the picture...

I know they are better off but they were one of my first fish A pity the dwarf gourami's are so pretty!! I need some more fish -colourful ones!! Funny you say that because thats what I was planning for my tanks. New tank: Neons, Cories,....... 34L tank: Betta and maybe Kuhli Loaches? Why...

Tonight I sold both Borneos so now I only have my Neon Tetras! :):( -mixed emotions about them going!! I kind of got used to searching for them around the tank. But it has made me want to go fish shopping now! Would 1 or 2 Dwarf Gourami's be ok with Neons. I'm looking at getting some Cories but...

So what do you have with your Gourami's? I'm thinking of getting a dwarf gourami if they are compatible with Neon Tetras.

I'm glad that they survived and now going strong!!

When the tank light is off is it better for fish to be in a dully lit room or naturally lit by the window? -thinking of moving my tank in order to fit the new one. Sunlight would create more algae in the tank -ahh maybe I've answered my own question. Also I have some lace fern floating on the...

Update: the water has dropped from last night but I can't see any puddles or even drips of water coming out of the tank. It didn't go down much only about 1-2mm I have a 380 Aqua One tank and it looks like it's just the rim around the outside on the base is touching but the centre isn't...

I'll do a water change tomorrow (Saturday's job usually anyway) and it only just clogged up today possibly due to the fact that I put some plants too close to the filter so I moved them over a bit. I noticed there is a fair bit of condensation on the lid and there was a little water (like a few...

Just a question about my filter cartridge has a brown sludge over it and just realised the pipe that keeps the water flowing was blocked a little. I just cleaned the pipe out, should I clean the filter cartridge? Yesterday I checked my water and the PH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrates are sitting...

Did the female honey gourami live on to swim another day?? I know this post was quite a while ago but just I'm new to the fish world so a bit interested in how it turned out.

Cool tank!! I'm a little worried about my 34L tank as I found some water underneath the table it's on. I think it's leaking but I put a line on the side of my tank to see if the water drops. My tank is on a table kind of thing -it's kind of like this table but as you can see in picture 1 and 2...

Ok cool, thanks for the idea!! Your tanks are so cool!! What kind of fish do you have in them? I quite like all your tanks the way the plants are set up. What kind of plants do you have in the tank by itself??

Ok the 40L tank purchase fell through but it's possible that i have found a bigger tank and I collect it on Sunday. I think its about 88.4L from dimensions I got: 62W x 46H x 31D -how much would that weigh. My current tank is on a wooden small table from Ikea and it had how much weight I could...

No. I was explaioning the sort of fish that can do very well in smaller tanks (like a 10 gallon). I didn't mean to imply you could add all these with neons. The pygmy cories are still an option though, with the neons. Cool!

What you should look into, now that we know the water is soft, are "nano" sized fish. Ember Tetra, the dwarf rasboras like Boraras brigittae and Boraras maculatus, as some examples. You could have a group of 10-12 of either of these, plus a group of 7-9 pygmy cories. Once again, you already...
