Its not about swimming levels its about swimming behavior. Danios are hyper active fast erratic swimmers neons are slow calm swimmers. The fast paced erratic swimming of danios stresses neons out for the same reason it isnt suggested keeping fast swimming tetras like blue tetras and bloid fin...

PAR is a measurment that guages lights ability to travel through water. Light at the sutface or top of water column is going to be more intense than light at the bottom of a tank. The deeper the light goes the more intensity it loses. For plants at the substrate like dwaf sag and other carpeting...

Im going to check in the morning, my lights are off now, this is helpful thankyou!!!

Those are both awesome. Ive never seen either of those in any stores near me:( those rasboras though look grumpy...

Sounds about right, how do you sex neons, mine might be male heavy as well or theyre just little terrors;)

lol:)

I like black neons as well but i find them to be a little nippy like you said. I had a tank with neons glolights flame tetras rummys and black neons and the black neons were always the ones causing trouble:)

You are very welcome!:)

Have you looked into salvinia? Its alot like frog bit

Yup, im sure its considered an inevasive species, it is in my tank i just threw a bunch out, but at least its not duck weed...

I think fish store friday is an excellent idea and you take excellent pics!

Ive kept them, theyre one of my favorite fish ever, but again hard to find where i live. They do really well in big groups so id get more than 5. I had 10 they are more active than other corydora as theyll glass surf and even occasionally shoal mid level. They also like chilling on top of broad...

Man i need to move to dallas, the fish stores here in wichita suck. Dallas isnt too far from wichita bout a 5 hour drive, might be worth it;)

Lol my neice used to always want me to take her to jimmy johns and i was like uh ok finally my wife clued me in that my neice liked a guy that worked there. My lfs is run by a bunch of guys that look like meth heads and their tanks reflect it:(

Yup my lfs sucks as well, the petco and petsmar. Are really close and better but selection is low

Those are awesome looking, most the fish at my lfs store look half dead or cant be seen through all the algae:(

My RAM is at the bottom almost exclusively in his cave or sifting through the sand. Id consider bolivian Ram a bottom level fish. Also agree wouldnt keep hatchets with Angels, Hatchets dont move alot they kind of park their shoal at the top and wait for food and Angels will just push them out of...

Byron knows a lot about angels so im going to let him answer and suggest you ask him lots of questions

Its not just about bio load its about space. The most id do in a 75 gallon is six and then mix them with a dither fish. Dither fish help them feel safe and signal to them the absence of predators. Most people use tetras as dither fish for angels.

Never kept blue flash cichlid but from what i understand they can be a bit shy and Ive never kept blue flash cichlid, from what i understand is they are pretty shy and a group of angels might out compete him for food or bully it Having said that if you havent bought your fish yet 75 is a bit on...

Not sure. How big is your tank? Angels are shoaling fish and should be kept in groups or a bonded pair, keeping them solo they become reclusive and or aggressive and stressed

I dont mess with breeding its not my thing. So id go with a gourami at top like a pearl gourami then rasbora as my middle fish and then a loach as my bottom, probably sidthimunki as they are smallest. Or even zebra loach or yo yo loach

Ive never tried just CDB but ive heard it helps, you should get the benefits of cannaibis without the consequences of thc.

Thanks im in remission about 10 months now. Cannabis is actually stupidly illegal where i am even for medicinal uses but i talked to my docs and nurses and about whether it would help or not and legally they werent allowed to advise me or reccomend it but told me ive known patients that have had...

Ive had blue tetra and theyre cool but too rambunctious for my other tetra. Thanks for the tip on the congos!

How do congos do with smaller tetras like neons, rummy, ect...?

I only took them when i was going through chemo so wouldnt know but yeah i get it.

Yeah glo lights are pretty hardy, ill also probably end up getting some once things calm down. Id rather have rummy nose or von rio flame tetra but stores rarely have them. I like the look of emperor tetra but have never kept them, neons and glo lights black neons are just so easy to get a hold...

I use just RO dont mix it with tap cuz i dont trust all the other stuff in it. Fluoride chromium arsenic all that junk my fish or plants dont need so i just use RO water and remineralize it with calcium magnesium and potassium. Oddly the water out if the tap i wont put in my fish tank i drink...:(

I have neons as well, mostly out of availability. Cant get rummy nose where i am no one carrys them because the local water is hard and i dont want to pay for shipping to get them

They can be nippy and their monotone colors are boring , ive never been interested in keeping them, i had a couple rescue red serpaes once theyre jerks:)

I agree. Ive never kept skirts, they have to be my least favorite tetra. Sorry to all the skirt lovers.:)

Just switch to edibles, problem solved;)

Lots of love for congo tetras on here, ive only seen them once at my LFS and they always look blah, but im sure color up once in an established tank

Cool. They both did well together when i had them, rummy are more sensetive than a lot of tetras so make sure to drip acclimate them.

My glo lights used to try and shoal with my rummynose, the rummy nose kept them in line:)

Never had lemons, never actually seen them except on video but they look cool to me

Ive never had them but i really like how they look with their flowy fins.

Personally i like rummy nose the most, the bright nose and the zebra tail are nice and i like that they keep tighter shoals than most tetra.how bout you???

Plenty of dwarf cichlids that would do well in a 55 as well. Apistograms, curviceps, Rams some of the geophagus. Having said that convicts arent just called convicts for their black stripes theyre really aggresive especially when breeding. Fire mouths not so much theyre one of the more mellow SA...
