Same with my old angels, thanks for listing the plant and fish species. I’ll maybe use it as a guide in the right direction. :)

This is another setup I’d look to do. Were you specific with plants etc ? I don’t think I’d put angels in either.

Yeah, I’ve had a look about and you’re right it will lead to headaches so I’m just going to go for a general South American setup.

True, i just looked at the original pic again.

Yeah I’m not sure, the pic attached to seriously fish doesn’t quite look like it but if you google “elegant corys” this is what appears:

Yeah that’s what I’m worried about, getting carried away haha. I quite like the idea of making it a certain region, only because I prefer things to be natural but on the other hand If I limit it, that would mean less variety of species but saying that there’s still quite a lot to chose from if I...

Only a 30 gallon, I got rid of my big tanks to free up some space, I kind of regret it but hopefully I’ll get some bigger ones again someday. I agree with the variety, although I’m indecisive so i want to keep every kind of fish lol

Hi everyone, I joined this community in September to get some community fish ideas. I have been thinking and researching since then and I’ve made the decision of going for an Amazon biotope - either blackwater or clearwater. Does anyone have any personal experience with these kind of setups as...

Oh no, sorry to hear that :( the same happened to mine - my one only lasted about 4 months though and one morning he just completely deteriorated and died within a few hours infront of my eyes.

I’ve looked back and my dwarf gourami was in my other 30gallon which i broke whilst cleaning lol - I originally bought the one I want to use now as an emergency fry grow out. So I’ll have a look at the honey gourami :)

Ok, I’ll have another look around :)

I believe that is what my first dwarf gourami died of :confused: i will wait until I have bigger tanks again to get the pearls :) since I’m struggling to find a centrepeice, what about just another school of tetras ? I’m not sure what though

I’m still really not sure but how does this sound: 1 male dwarf gourami 10 - 12 neon tetras 6- 8 peppered cory’s Do you think I could get better use out of the tank or is that reasonable enough ? I prefer the look of pearl gourami’s but if they’re more comfortable in groups then I think even...

Yeah, I forgot how hard it is to choose lol but maybe I’m just indecisive

Yeah I mean Otocinclus :) I was thinking maybe 10 of one type of tetra, but I can’t decide which ones I want

I’ve been looking around and I’ve made a list of the fish I like the look of. I’m still deciding on my Centrepiece fish but here is the tetras I like: Neon Tetras Black Neon Tetras Penguin Tetras - I’ve kept them before Silver Tip Tetras X-ray tetras Glowlight Tetras bottom feeders I’m stuck...

Yeah :confused: I’m sure something else will catch my eye though

today I’ve been looking at dwarf neon rainbows (rainbow praecox) as my shoaling fish and I quite like them, what are your views on them ? And would my water be too soft ? I think I would need a longer tank for these guys ?

Ok thank you for clearing that up :)

Just been reading up on cory’s and read that they can release a toxin when under stress, I’ve never heard of this - have any of you guys experienced it ?

thats true, I had a tank the same volume (120l) but it was much longer, slimmer and taller

Thank You I think I’ll score that one off - I wouldn’t want it to be overcrowded

I’m trying to come up with a general list so I can look into further detail but would a Bristlenose pleco be fine in my size tank ?

Ok, I think that’s the reason I decided not to get the rams a few years ago but I’m not entirely sure, as for the cory’s I’ll look into the ones I want to keep most.

it’s softer than I thought it was, I was struggling to find numbers for some reason but I got there in the end! What kind of shoaling fish would you suggest? I’ve heard a few people say rummy’s. The local fish shop is a good call as I’ve looked everywhere online and no company would deliver to...

Definitely would like some cory’s!

i’ve kept angels and dwarf gourami’s before but I quite like the idea of the gourami being the centrepiece, I’ve also looked into blue rams which I like the sound of but I’m not sure if they’re aggressive?. I love neon’s but I’ve never kept them strangely, so I’ll definitely consider them. I...

Sorry, the water hardness is 22.5ppm

Hey guys, I want to get back into the fish keeping hobby after two years away from it, I have a tank which measures: L- 60cm D-40cm H-50cm It was a second hand tank so I wasn’t told the volume but I put the measurements into multiple tank volume calculators which all said 120 litre’s (I’m not...
