yeah thats what got me started into fish keeping..the local country club got rid of abunch of their goldfish in a carnival..im about a 100% every fish they gave away died..mine did and even went out and bought abunch of stuff for them.. but that's what got me started now ive have two tanks and 8...

couple of otos?

me too ..that tanks looks AWESOME like an underwater city...nicely done

its not something they do all day..i think it just has to do with their behavior right now..i saw the two bigger ones trying to nibble on each other...hopefully they can settle out their differences :lol:

The first week the platties were very happy constantly swimming around and chasing each other, but these last couple of days they've been hiding in the plants alot and not moving much. I've noticed a couple have been laying on the gravel (not laying down just resting on top of the gravel) the...

hey man I think it eventually happens to everybody..don't worry about it. I've had 4 fish die..the first two died for reasons I still dont know why of when I first started and I had two of my very nice size balas jump out of my tank..in fact I left the room and came back 15 minutes later and...

im sure the people thought "oh brother" but you really did the right thing..my first time around i got suckered into buying fish that were way to big for my tank..still have my balas but theyre ok for now.. i agree people buy all these big fish before they know how big theyll get and the people...

my platties watch tv..and my balas are like a little gang of kids..they go and hide as a group :lol: panzies :P

I got them at walmart..they didnt really know what they were doing but im pretty sure i ended up with two males and a female..unless theyre gay :lol:

haha he told you

bump :P

I've notice two(one with vertical stripe on tail and other that has huge horizontal stripe thing) of my three plattys always hang out together and chase each other but when the other smaller one with the vertical stripe get near, the bigger one with the vertical stripe chases it away. Sometimes...

You're suppose to change the filters every 3-4 weeks... If you don't what you had happens..guessing you left it running too..

third tank :P

keep us posted

after noticing the same oto had been underneath a plant for half the day sucking on gravel, i moved the plant a little, he didn't swim off, so i kinda pulled him on the tail and he was dead..not sure what did it..the other fish are doing fine

:clap:

here goes..I put my coat over the back just to see what it would look like with a background..black would look good the otos are hiding

i ended up getting 3 plattys and 2 otos

sometimes i go 2 weeks because im laaaaazy..but ive got an overkill filter on my tank

hmm i guess my next best choice is danios

i used biospira on the 29 gallon and it worked..there are alot of fakes out there but this product works.. hmm I've got a book that read a male and female tiger barb could be kept together..could you not do that in a 10?

i think ill probably have to rule them out..i dont have sand or and shells :dunno: thinking about some tiger barbs though??

hmm what do you guys think about tiger barbs

actually it's doesn't matter really matter what fish I use, I just love the look of cichlids i'll be keeping the fish after its over so I want to make the aquarium good looking and i want to get some fish in there that look good.. one could barely call it an experiment.. basically i'll be...

ive moved past fishless cycling..i use biospira and its works wonders..24 hour cycle no chichilids at all? even the 1" ones or 2" ones?? what are otos?

and its probably hard to find..

ttt

ok i got my 10 gal set up check it out at http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=70593

just got this done.. went from deciding about gravel at all, to getting gravel and some plants..it still looks bare..i don't know how you guys make your tanks so awesome, mine looks like some pos from the 80s.. :thumbs: o well someone mentioned african dwarf chichilids which i like alot...

Ralph, the sex puppet, Anderson :D

duct tape :kana:

in that case how about some female dwarf chichilids

how big do the smallest chichilids get..

ooh i like that idea..if i did that i may just keep them in there..can i just put any sand in there or what do i need to know

awesome...poop tornadoes..actually I am asking because im getting two fish to put in a ten gallon tank for a only a couple of week because im going to monitor their behavior with different variables and feeding times for a school "experiment" and I didn't want to bother with gravel

do you have to have gravel in your tank? :dunno:

ouch..I plan on dealing with that when the time comes up..I bought the fish before i knew anything Honestly I don't know about the pleco..got him at walmart more then a year ago the two balas are still very small..my mom bought them for me as a gift without telling me..the other one is pretty...

would you guys add more plants? any ideas.. i think it looks pretty good compared to how it use to look

just algae I think..you can see the brown stuff in the picture below the rock level
