When fish jump out of there tanks they are usually stressed, or the water quality is bad. I would do a water change and see if he starts to look any better. I know you said it is just a hospital tank so I guess what is he going to go into in the future and how soon because he is not enjoying his...

Thank you for the advice. How would you recommend I treat him? Unfortunately I don’t have a LFS and I don’t know anyone who has a tank. I am thinking maybe more plant will help the fish hide so they don’t get nipped at or chased.

The kuhli loaches don’t usually school they sometimes shoal a bit. The purpose of getting a little group is so they feel more comfortable and come out more. It does look like they are full grown (3-4 inches). It is very difficult to breed kuhli loaches and would take a lot of work and would most...

I think it would be okay. As long as they are the only fish in the tank other than the shrimp otherwise you might have to size up a bit.

Wow it’s gorgeous 🤩

The tank is only 10 gallons. I know they need bigger but they used to be in a 29 gallon but we moved and couldn’t take the big tank with us. I lived in a really small town so there wasn’t really many options of rehoming them. There is only 4 serpae’s. I also have 4 neons, 2 red and yellow flame...

I only have 4 🥲 I know they need more but I don’t have enough room. I would like to rehome them but I just don’t know where. There is no local fish store just the big box stores.

I know they do look terrible. There’s about 3 smaller one and a very large fat one.

I have just been noticing some of the fish in my tank have some crooked fins. It’s mostly just the serpaes so I am thinking they are just going after each other but I figured I would get your guy’s opinion.

Unfortunately I’m not in the UK I’m in the US but thank you

Ok I think rocks always elevate a tanks scape so I would go ahead and get some!

Thank you I hadn’t realized what an impact a darker colored sand could have on the Cory’s! I’ll check out the sand you suggested for sure!

For me it’s always good to start with an idea. It’s hard to give suggestions to you because I don’t really know what you would like so I would search up some 5 gallon aqua scapes online that you like and take some ideas from that. This is a website with some ideas for a small tank and just a...

Wow those marigolds are so pretty 🤩 what is the purple flower at the top it almost looks fuzzy!

I just have one question for now. What kind of black sand should I get? I want to get black galaxy sand from aqua natural but it would be pretty expensive to get the right amount so anyone have any suggestions of black sand that is nice and soft for the Cory’s but come in a bigger bag?

Hi everyone. This is going to be my 29 gallon aquarium journal. It’s going to be long because I can’t really set up the tank for awhile. It’s going to have toucan tetras, panda Cory’s, tiger or orange zebra otto and Heterocharax virgulatus. About 15 of each and only 6 of the ottos. There will be...

Pretty!

Never really thought that it might be warmer or colder in some parts of our tanks. Like you were saying in the wild there are colder and warmer spots so it seems natural, and with the circulation from the filter the warm water moves through the rest of the tank probably making It the same...

A picture of the tank and water parameters would help for us to see the setup of your tank. The fish are most likely just still stressed and will settle down in a few days or a week.

I would add 3 more Cory’s of the same species and a school of 10 small neons or dwarf rasboras.

Yes pictures and parameters will help us identify the problem.

Ok perfect! Glad I asked otherwise I would have gotten the 30 gallon. I am going to probably get an adjustable heater for the tank so I can find a good temperature that is good for all the fish. If that’s good 👍

Found the filter on Amazon. They have a few different options just for the size of the tank. I’ll do the 30 gallon but will it be too strong? Sorry for all the questions they are a bit stupid lol but you can never be to sure.

Thank you so much for all the help! I will defiantly have to post picks when the tank is finally done but not sure how long that’s going to take! I’ll check out the filters and I will defiantly not use a HOB filter from now on.

Hmmm very hard to say so I’m just going to say fish. I mean I can never really say what my favorite is when I haven’t owned 99.8% of fish and I haven’t even tried saltwater yet.

Thank you so much! Happy to here that I can have the toucans! I will try to make the bottom part of the tank have a bit more flow for sure! Is it just that one sponge filter? Your tank is beautiful great selection of fish! Would a hang on the back filter be powerful enough?

Would it be ok to have 48 fish in a 29 gallon tank assuming I get 12 Cory’s? It seems like a lot but I feel like with frequent maintenance it would be ok? And what about the thing I posted above 👆

Thanks for sure! Yes makes sense. Whatever makes the fish happy is best! You can add the white sand or not whatever you think is best for the little fishies!

Yes I think the lighter substrate would look really nice. You can put it wherever you feel is best. You are doing dirt? Just for the plants or the look of it as well? The only problem with doing dirt and sand would be the cleaning. The lighter colored sand will show dirt easy and you can’t...

Wish I knew that a few years back!! I got a three spot gourami which I found out a while later and a dwarf gourami. The dwarf gourami died soon after I got it but the 3 spot gourami lived for ever!!! He was soo mean. He was in a 10 gallon then we moved him into a 29 gallon with a bunch of...

I like the 3rd one. The lighter substrate and reddish rocks look good. I also like the colored plants and the driftwood will help with more cover. You have to put up picks of how your tank turns out!! I need some inspiration because I am terrible at aqua scaping and I am going to get a 29 gallon...

What is viral septicemia?

Welcome to the forum. Nice big tank for your betta! 👍

Dice

That’s a really smart idea!!

I feel like they might be pond snails. They don’t normally eat plants I don’t think but if they don’t have any other food sources they will. Bladder snails won’t eat plants no matter what so I think it’s pond snails. You could try and feed them or just get an assassin snail and get rid of them.

Everything

Thank you they are very beautiful fish I will probably get about 15 of them like you said. Could I also do another school of toucan tetras? Also maybe about 15 they are also relatively small or do you have another recommendation that will look good with the Heterocharax virgulatus? Sorry for...
