please read the above as its a rule of thumb. The novel stated recommended to allow about 12 in2 (75 cm2) of surface area per 1 in (2.5 cm) of adult fish body length (excluding the caudal fin). In addition to the surface area,you also need to consider the volume of the tank . . .

im wondering how toxic is that for fish friends as I used super glue for my filtration system.

I have not looked into fish sizes what I can say is a rule of thumb is 1 inch per 1 gal of water. if you really want to be sure here is straight up facts . . . .It is usually recommended to allow about 12 in2 (75 cm2) of surface area per 1 in (2.5 cm) of adult fish body length (excluding the...

guppies are fast breeders, and more or less easy to look after. making them a low-profit fish. sorry if you had to find this out the hard way. more work means more profit. as well as higher risk. best of luck cheers

Two beautiful looking tanks!

sounds cheap but it's not. looking at about 100.00 for a new tank and set up im stuck in the rut too. I have a second tank but it's not the best im using a cracked filter as a new filter will run me at least 30.00 then u need a heater that's 15.00. and a tank well looking at another 60.00 used...

no I have some on top and in middle, my tank has some issues PH and stuff is out to lunch I just don't have funds to fix it. But it's good enough they will survive. it's just not an ideal environment and im aware. Its why I never yet put my tanks on the tank of the month LOL

could also be stappers' Catfish

If I set up a tank for Pictus Catfish and one of my guppies happens to jump into the tank with it. will the pictus eat him before he dies from water condition issues?? has anyone ever had their guppie land into a tank with a catfish and become food rather than rotting fish scum?

viking your answers are always on point ^-^ Caves and plants are frys best friend. ---- baby shark do do do Baby shark ps thank me later for sticking that song in all your heads LOL

Heres the two tanks I have a ton of fry but there fast and don't smile when I take their picture.

Too bad you don't have a 10 gal tank it would be a good starter tank for you. There no much money either next time u have 100.00 laying around u should get your self a nice beginner setup. don't listen to people who say 5 gal is fine really hard to do anything with that. pictures coming your...

downloading all these off torrents LOL THANK U!

im going have to agree to disagree until I have proof. From my understanding, this is an issue. Male guppy fish are wired to mate and in a male-only guppy aquarium, males will start to become aggressive towards each other if there aren’t any females around. Aggression may progress to the point...

this will help too many will cause imbalance in your tank they will chew on each other tails. dead fish spread sickness in tanks and can cause massive problems. here's what u can do please know that some of these are inhumane. . . I'm going list ideas from humane to inhumane. Im not going say...

addon if you want all males they will fight because they want sex and they not getting any. u need females or u will lose fish

Maybe too many males. 1 female per 3 males are the right ratio or else the males will fight over the gal. Im thinking ratio problem keep the temp at 25 degrees celsius

wow super helpful!

for the record 1 inch of fish per 1 gal fish tank. 5 gal is perfect but if you get any more then one fish your tank is too small.

they look fancier then females. they want to look good for them. fish, in general, are hard to tell the gender. guppies are among the easier ones to do so though. Guppies are amazing starter fish as they are very adaptable. you don't need a big tank I would recommend a 20 gal for breading. and...

if you get your tank in order guppies are super easy to breed. 1 male 4 females u will get a ton if tank is setup u can even sell them to people/ pet stores. gotta get that tank right.

I have guppies mine just had like 30 babies. she is preg but yes be a long while yet before birth. she will get fat and act very abnormal. hang around the heater or at the bottom/top of the fish tank may not eat. or spit out food as she gets more preg. she may vibrate. 1 male per 3 female is a...

INSERT: My nitrates have been 20-40, Nitrite 1-3, GH 150, KH 80, PH 7, Ammonia .5. im just learning my self each fish is different i think others here will for sure help guide you with proper levels for your fish.

5 small Vallisneria Spiralis and one anubius Nana plant I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism. And im no expert either but in all honesty your too excited. plants are tricky you have to have a really good balance or else you will run into not just plant problems but fish problems...

GH at 450 presumably ppm (mg/l)? The bottle does not say a unit of measure I have just emailed them pending response. Livebearers (like the guppies mentioned) are hard water fish. Pictus catfish are soft water with some "middle ground" of sorts, but they will have problems long term in...

Why are you testing for cyanuric Acid?' The stips I bought at the pet store come with that test on it. The town I live in is a farming community. The water used is bathwater (not sure if that makes any difference.) It comes from the town's filtration system. Is total hardness the same as...

free available chlorine, total chlorine, alkalinity pH, total hardness, cyanuric Acid. The type of catfish is Pictus Catfish Thank you for your help on this

So I'm Asking the Big question that beginners want to know. I'm sure this is on or should be on a list of most frequently asked questions. So I beg your forgiveness. But Rather than reading pages after pages of partial answers or trying to find a needle in a haystack I want the whole meal deal...

Mine does same. Take a pen and tap the impeller. With it then it should work don't keep it running without water as it will over heat and never work again. Cheers.

Pictures of fish ^-^

It's okay there Is a fish heaven. Where all pet fish swim in the Clouds ^-^

The purpose of the filter on your aquarium is to remove excess food, decaying organic matter, free-floating particulate, dangerous chemicals, and the fish's waste products from the water. The fish excrete waste constantly as they swim around in the water. In conclusion if you okay with your...

I want pull a homer Simpson and have a pet lobster that ill end up eating. what kinds are edible and how long would I have to wait before I could eat the babies. MMM lobster.

id like to add if you don't have you need need need filter and heater in the tank

some of these people are overkilling the situation. Guppies are very adaptable I hate to sound like a broken record but 1 male for every 3-4 female is best. as stated above huge issues happen if you don't have fish ratios right. and or too many fish for a tank. Daily water changes may not be...
