I was looking for info on rabbit snails for a while, and I do believe I read somewhere, that they can easily live up to 5+ years. I could be mistaken though.

You've got to different things growing. In pic 2 its cyanobacteria, pic 3 is string algae. Best thing to do is siphon them out and cut your lights back to 8-10 hours.

A bushynose would be fine, one of the cleaner plecos if you ask me, but you didn't and I'm telling you anyways. If you want the cherry shrimp, and I see no problem with that, start with around 15. They'll get to 30+ before you know it. Oh, I was going to leave an answer after the first bump...

Afraid not. Angels get too large, as does the shark. The tiger barbs need to be in a group of 6+ and would shred the fins of the angels, as might the shark. Any other thoughts?

Yeah,discus get too large, as do kissing gouramis, 8" & 12" respectively. Bettas not a good idea, your blue gourami may kill him. Glass cats would be good, but you need at least a group of six, the tetras also need to be in a school of 6+. I would suggest something like this... 1- blue gourami...

Its a bacterial bloom, feeding on the nitrites. Give it a few days it will clear on its own. Keep up on the water changes though.

Yes, they will be fine in a large enough tank.

They're a great canister, when they don't leak...

Lots of plants, will help too.

I have, black phantoms, long fin serpaes and bleeding hearts, at least 5 of each, and they school together quite nicely.

Change the gravel out for sand.

You can, but you do have to keep an eye out for parasites.

Agreed.

Pieces of pvc pipe, Terra cotta flower pots, slate glued together. I know you are looking to purchase, probably something a little nicer looking, but these all work well and are inexpensive at a garden center.

Ok, by the sound of it, you're doing a cichlid tank. If this is the case, where you are going to have fish that dig, place the rocks directly on the glass or a piece of polystyrene, then place the sand. No matter how much you compact the sand, any fish that dig, cichlids, catfish, loaches and...

If there's not going to be any plants then just place a sheet on the entire bottom. If you're going to also have live plants then just under the rocks. Is there a specific reason why you want to add the egg crate?

Usually 2-3 days, depends on the temp.

Get a small predator that you may have room for and feed it the deformed fry.

Yeah, if you don't rinse the pads well, zeolite dust will go everywhere.

Neither would do any harm, but with regular water changes and good food, they shouldn't be needed.

Here's some info on them. http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/hemigrammus-ocellifer/ http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/hasemania-nana/ I've kept both in the past, and enjoyed them equally.

Is this for fresh or saltwater?

Any of the African tetras, any of the deep body South American tetras, ie., black skirts, bleeding hearts, silver dollars. Most rainbowfish would work well also.

Usually 2-3 weeks is sufficient.

You want something to breed easily, why not try some dwarf cichlids. A school of praecox rainbows, and the cories you want.

If you have a tight fitting cover, 1-3 reedfish would be cool. An elephantnose would also work. Nobody, has a great stock list for you though.

Look into Nothos and Rachoviia. May have those spelled wrong. May even be the same fish... :lol:

Golden wonder killies are generally available at most shops. 1 male to 2-3 females is a good ratio.

Its definitely a bushynose. Hard to tell you why it hasn't grown. I have 2 males in the same tank, bought at the same time and one is 5" the other only 3".

Frozen baby brine shrimp and cyclops are good for them too.

2' cube is 60 US gallons.

Can you post pics of them?

Look up fish tb. That might have been it.

It's hard to tell, but she doesn't look very healthy. It might be best to euthanize her.

They'll be opaque white. One thing that will help to keep the fungus from spreading to fertile eggs, is few drops of Methylene blue. Oh, and change most of the water each day, with water from the main tank.

Looks good.

You'll find lots of breeders keep the best looking females, and males for that matter, to improve their stock.

Looks really good. Your puffer is going to love it, when the plants really fill in.

6+ would be better and would fit in very well. Don't forget to feed them though, as they may not get enough leftovers to thrive. 6-10 kuhli loaches would work well to, and carry the tiger theme a little bit further.

Agreed with magpie.
