You know @ClownLurch, I was literally about to post about the water company website but you beat me to it lol.

If you can, try and lower the nitrate to under 20. Your nitrite is very low which is good. Do you not know your exact GH? If you go to your local water company and put in your area, it should tell you your GH or dh which is german degrees but that can be converted.

They might get slightly too big but I think they would be fine. I think they thrive in a 40 gallon tank and yours is just under. I think they'd be ok.

YAY!!!!!! That's a dope piece of wood. The sterbai's would love it.

Hmmmm... I can't really tell to be honest. @Colin_T what do you think?

Bosemani rainows? Dwarf neon rainbows? As upper ideas. BN plecos could really only be your bottom dwelling fish unfortunately as your GH is through the roof.

@itiwhetu, how did you get the DCL ( dwarf chain loach) in your profile pic?

Can I see a picture? I'm flabbergasted by that lol.

Be wary of your tank size if you want a rainbow shark. They need at least a 4 foot by 1 foot by 1 foot footprint so be careful with a rainbow shark if you decide on getting one.

Maidenhead is one of the best places to go for in turns of purchasing fish and fish food. Are you able to tell us the tank dimensions (I'm assuming 60cm x 30cm x 30cm) and your pH and GH? That way we can all suggest fish for your tank, and ones that will please your kids :) That's a lot of...

I have one like yours who's maybe a cm bigger than yours. If he had white markings, it has now turned golden which is pretty cool.

Before suggesting fish, ask what fish are already in the tank. So say a person had tiger barbs in the tank, you should generally tell them to add fish which won't be bothered so maybe like yoyo loaches, or khuli loaches. All fish will at some point be harassed by tiger barbs so suggest bottom...

Has anyone noticed that if you press space twice quickly it puts a full stop? Idk why I wanted to point that out but yeah...

Mine stay at the top a lot to. When I feed them food... In all seriousness mine do that as well in one of my other tanks but in a other tank they don't do that.

ooooo you could make a cool scape in that tank. Be careful with the spiderwood. It can take a few weeks to sink as it needs to absorb the water and nutrients. As you said above wedging it down with stones is a good idea. That's what I did with my 33 gallon. Just a question, have you checked to...

If you are talking about the snail, you might need to get rid of it. I don't know what type it is, but I could help if you tell me the dimensions of the tank. This will help other people on the forum decide what should happen.

Are you talking about the snail? Did you already have that snail?

Just one pair of dwarf gouramis is fine. Watch them for a few hours because they rarely last more than six months. I'm not trying to scare you but the DG can pick up a disease called Iridovirus. @Colin_T could help explain what it is. Sadly there is no cure for it. My only advice would be too...

Pets at Home are literally one of the worst places to buy fish from. They do not care for the fish and you literally have to tell them there is something wrong with the fish or there's a dead fish in this tank over there. They don't care at all.

I'm on a macbook right now... maybe it's that???

Congrats!!! I really love rummynose tetras and it is super cool to see that you have them in your tank.

Welcome to TFF!!! :fish: How many of each fish do you have in there? How big is your tank?

RIP Rainbow. Such a pretty fish.

@Kyle E. btw your dwarf gourami is a male I believe. Males typically have a pointed dorsal near the end of the dorsal whilst females have a rounded end. Your DG I'm pretty sure is a male. It is odd that your DG and betta don't fight as well. I have a DG with a betta and the DG will chase my...

@corylover5, are you just pressing enter? When I press enter it goes down a line. Weird...

Also I just want t bring this up. A possible reason of why he's being chased is that either there is no females in the tank for the males to mate with, or there isn't enough males. If there are say 5 males, they probably wouldn't bully a singular fish, it would probably just be the occasional...

I think what @seangee said about it being a "nano" tank is correct. Whilst it holds 90 litres, it has a smaller surface area than any other tank you own. If you intend on getting any fish for the cube go with Corydoras pygmyus, and a large school of neon or green neon tetras. Both stay small and...

How on earth is your BN 20cm lol. I've never heard of one that big!!!!!!!!

So the cube measures out 90 litres but it won't be fully filled up I assume. Emerald corys should stay in the 160 as you said above. Bristlenose of all types usually reach a max of 10cm so he'd be fine in the cube. Despite the smaller surface area, the fish would have the same amount of room if...

What info do you need? If it's tankmates that you want help choosing we need to know the tank dimensions length by width by height, your GH and pH what else is in the tank.

I wouldn't add anything too the tank. I tried adding 3 pepper corys to a tank with guppys. It didn't work. Within a day two corys had lost an eye and were dead and I ended up moving the last cory to a tank where he had some friends. Yesterday we tried adding orange cherry shrimp. Within nightime...

Well I dropped in a cube of bloodworm into the raphaels log, and lo and behold it started floating; until all the other fish went crazy for it. I did put in a cory wafer too as I know he likes them.

Could you also tell us the GH? Also his tank does look small; what are the dimensions? Your nitrates seem a bit high too.

I would go with a 20 gallon for a puffer. This is if you are going with the pea puffer or something bigger and more aggressive like Tetraodon miurus. Pea puffer tank size would be 10 gallons Tetraodon miurus 30 gallons upwards.

Your water isn't ideal for angels as I believe it is in the 200s in ppm wise. Not to sure though. Either way the tank is not suitable for angels however you could set up that tank as a breeder and have just 2 angels. Tiger barbs will destroy the guppy and angelfishs fins unless there is a...

Right. Should I put the bloodworm in the log where I know he hides. Or should I try and put it around and he'll come out and feed?

Substrate depends on the fish you plan to quaratine. I would always suggest sand as all fish love it and if you plan to quarantine corys, they won't damage their barbels.

I saw mine come out with the lights on as it went for a cory wafer. I think Midnight (the raphael cat) ate it and a few minutes later he went back into the log. I have seen Midnight around 4am because I woke up early and decided to see if he was around. Lo and behold he was there sifting through...

Molly and guppys like hard water over 250ppm. Also a rainbow shark needs a 4 foot tank preferably a 5-6 foot long tank. If you are to remove the molly and guppys I'd up the Cory count to 8.

As Colin_T said above it is best to know your tank dimensions and your GH and pH first before ideas can be suggested.
