Thanks for the input. I think I'm gonna get 4 Amanos and I've decided to go with cardinals

Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I'm cycling my 20gal tall tank at the moment and I plan to eventually stock it with a Dwarf Gourami and 7-9 Neon Tetras or Cardinal Tetras (havent decided which yet). I would like to also add some Amano Shrimp to be my cleaning crew but I was wondering...

From what I've researched, algae begins its life as spores. They can be either waterbourne or airbourne depending on the species. So it is possible that either your water or the plants were carrying some spores. It is also possible that spores were released into the air whenever you ran your tap...

Oh and a couple more things. Algae can get out of control if there are excess nutrients in the water. The most common way too get excess nutrients in your tank would be overfeeding your fish. You should only give your fish enough food for them to finish in a matter of minutes. If not, youre...

Hello Tony,   Algae is a catch all term that refers to single-celled organisms and some simple multicellular organisms that are photosynthetic. They are considered to be in the plant kingdom but are not true plants because they lack some of the more complex cell and organ types found in most...

Oh okay lol. Then I definitely will look into them. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Welcome Shanedeeley

I thought the calculations were too good to be true . So assuming I have both the 7 tetras and the DG, I'll have 4 gallons left over. Do you think this is suitable or do I need more available space?   Thanks for the input :). Shrimp seem like a great idea for my tank. Amano/yamato sound like...

Thanks for the input. I'm gonna take your advice and simply not mess with it

ah i see, i didn't realize the shrimp were that small. I'll look into a different species   I was thinking of having a school of 7 neons/cardinals. I've been using this stocking calculator on http://www.aqadvisor.com/ as I've been brainstorming. I'm not sure how accurate it is though. I...

Hello everyone, I am currently doing a fishless cycle on my 20gal high tank and plan to stock with cardinal/neon tetras and a flame dwarf gourami. From what I've read both prefer relatively soft water and the tap water here in SoCal is pretty hard. So I was wondering, what were the best methods...

Well I definitely have a lot of thinking to do, still undecided in the tetra debate but I think I'm gonna go with the Flame Dwarf for my centerpiece :). Sorry to keep asking questions but now I'm tackling what bottom feeders I wanna get. I'm thinking of Cory Cats but I was wondering what species...

Thanks for the welcoming and your input guys :). I've been kicking around the idea of a dwarf gourami, particularly a Flame dwarf, are they okay swimming solo or do they generally prefer to be in groups? I think Cardinals are beautiful but I didn't know they were hardier; gives me more to think...

Hello everyone, my name is Trevor. I recently got back into fishkeeping after a few years away from the hobby and just got a 20gal High tank which is fishless cycling as we speak. I'm hoping to have a nice community setup. I'm currently brainstorming on what species I want in my tank and the...
