There are 4 platys (2 painted, one micky, one sunburst) and 4 neon tetras. The two fish that are fighting are the painted platys, I will try to send a vid. In regards to a hospital tank, I have a 2 gal fish bowl I could use with a bubbler, (I don't use it as a real fish tank don't worry) but I'm...

I have a good amount yeah, there's a big coral structure in the middle with lots of holes and some large plastic plants for them to hide in, but the bully fish just follows him in there. I should also say that they are all males. Not sure if that is helpful.

Hi, sorry if this post is quite franticly made. I just recently got some new fish and the one fish that was already in the tank prior to the restock is now bullying the other fish of his same kind. They are only a few days old and they seemed to be getting along before but over yesterday and...

Ok, through out the day today he has been doing much better. Only like 3 times today did he swim sideways. Everything about him is still the same (Color, poop color, buoyancy) but because he is not fully better I still am looking for the reason behind this. Thanks!

Hello and good afternoon! I am not new to fish keeping, as I've had aquariums over the past few years, but I still feel I don't really know as much about the hobby as I would like. I know and understand the basics like setting up an aquarium, the carbon cycle, etc. but I would like to know...

Hello and welcome! Your tank is so beautiful!

He seems to be doing much better this morning. Last night he was almost always sideways but today he only floats sideways every now and then. He has been floating to the top more, and gulping a bit, but I've only seen him do it once. The one fish that I had before has gotten a bit more...

That should work

Good afternoon, Yesterday I got some fish to add to my 29 gallon tank. I originally had one platy and I added 3 more, and 4 neon tetras. The fish in question was fine this morning but just recently started to swim sideways. He doesn't have any difficulty going to the bottom or top of the...

Thanks for the info! I think I'm going to go with a betta but still am not sure.

Thought I might make a small update. Its been 4 days since setup and things are still going well. The color of the water is starting to clear up, the plants seem to be doing well, and the moss seems to be growing already! I'm planning to get a few foreground plants soon but haven't found...

Thanks!

Wow... that tank looks a lot better than mine, I hope to some day make a tank that good! But in the meantime... I need to deal with my own tanks problems. First of all my water is tinting orange. I would assume it is from the driftwood but I soaked it for 2 days strait constantly changing out...

Sounds good! Would the java fern be ok with being attached to a rock and then i burry the rock or do they need their roots exposed?

Thanks!

Oh goodness! Yesterday was the day that setup happened! I had been soaking and cleaning the drift wood for a few days, found some rocks in my backyard, tested them to make sure they were safe, and got my soil and sand. I put in all of the components and I'm not super happy with how it came out...

Are there any fish that would be good in a 29 gal tank that would be safe or is giving away my only option

So if I don't get rid of the algae eater it will me a threat to my tank and possibly cause injury or death to what I put into the tank...

He's always been quite skittish, but as he's gotten older he's been less afraid. There's a small cave in the coral structure he likes to sit in and doesn't mind when other fish are next to him. However an attack from him I guess is quite likely. He used to live in a 10g tank because that's what...

I added the picture to the main post.

Hi, here's some answers The type of algae eater, I'm not sure but I will attach an image of him if that helps. I do a 33% water change weekly and a 50% monthly, I clean the gravel with a gravel vacuum every water change, and I use aquasafe+ from tetra for dechlorination before adding the new...

Hi, about 5 minutes ago I look over at my tank to see that there is a fish laying on the floor. Strange thing I though, but until I walked up to the tank I didn't realize what what actually going on. A fish that was perfectly fine about an hour or two ago was laying dead on the floor. This is...

Thanks!

Yeah haha I'm so exited. I set it up on the table today and I think it'll look great. I'm thinking of using a background, a plain color that will make the plants and colors pop, like a black maybe? I'll figure that out later though. Also, I've been researching silent cycling and i cant find...

So I bought some driftwood, got some stones from my backyard (I'll testy them to make sure they're safe). I got some Java moss, some small amazon swords and a small java fern. I'll wait until I receive the plants to buy more if I want. Maybe some anubias and a small grasslike plant? Not sure...

Thank you so much for all of that beautiful info! I'll get to work after I find some soil!

Ok update time! I went to the petstore and I spent a good 30 minutes having a panic attack in the aquarium isle and I ended up getting a 38L (10G) aquarium. I think this will be good space for a fish and I assume easier to maintain. I still really want to go for a well planted look and being my...

Ok, I'm planning to return the tank and view my options. I might get a 5-10 gallon and do what whistlingbadger recommended. Thanks for the advice.

Hi there, I bought a 13L tank (3.5 g) a while back but after having a bit of a problem with my 110L tank I never got to even taking it out of the box! I've done a good amount of fish keeping in the past but I need to be positive that I'm doing things right when setting up this new tank. It has...

Thank you for telling me that, to hard of a decision to make for myself. Today was a hard day...

Would you mind elaborating?
