For my new 135 litre tank I was thinking of stocking: Green tiger barbs x 10 sparkling gourmai x 3 (from my dad's old tank) kuhli loaches x 10 harlequin rasbora x 10 Would this be okay? Any issues I should be wary about?

Hi and welcome to the forum :)

Here's a picture of the tank this morning :)

Thank you guys:) I have decided to set it up today, I've added tropica plant substrate for the plants, some eggcrate to protect the glass bottom from rocks, added Unipac limpopo black sand (I figured this may be good if I want fish that sift around in the bottom:)). I have added some rocks and...

Oh wow that's very big:) I'm sure I could keep lots of fish there:)

I have got myself a second hand tank:) it's dimensions are 80cm x 40 cm x 47cm, it says on the back aqua nano 80 so I think that means it is 80 liters :) will get some pictures when I figure out how to post them:)

I I understand now:) thank you:) the tank has been refunded and I am thinking of getting a bigger one.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind:)

I'll see what I can do :) Ammo shrimp l;ook really nice. There are lots of second hand tanks going for cheap on Facebook in my local area:) If one is cheap enough i could get a large tank!

Thank you all:) I have returned the tank and got a full refund:) I will save up for a larger tank - maybe 30 to 40 litres and am thinking of having a betta and cherry shrimp :) thanks all very much, I can't believe what would ahve happened if i got the fish, i cant believe fish shops would allow...

OK I'll return it to the store:) thank you very much:)

OK,, I'll avoid those:) maybe some cherry shrimp would be nice:) they stay small I think:) although don't shrimp need salty water? Would this be possible to do?

Hi guys! :) I got a new marina 360 10l tank and was thinking what to put in:) I thought some arowana as my fish shop have then and they're really small and cute:) I also thought maybe a school of 3 scissortail rasbora as they are cool, the fish shop guy said they grow to 10cm though O_o does...

Thank for your advice.

There's one that is certainly female, 2 that are male and 1 that I can't decide (it's quite young so hard to tell) However the female is sometimes chasing away males, anyone know why that is? Perhaps the males want to mate but she does not? I will swap one of the males for a female soon as well.

I'm fairly certain I have their genders correct and I will try and do 1 male to 3 females. It'll be hard to see my fish go though. My tank is not big enough for more sparklers according to aqadvisor.com at least. I will ring up my LFS, thank you.

I decided to stock some sparkling gouramis in my tank and I think I got 1 female and 3 males. Anyways there is lots of fighting between the males they keep squabbling with each other and croacking and I'm already seeing some nipped fins. Should I go back to my LFS and replace some of the males...

My local fish shop only has otocinclus affinis, are they suitable for my tank?

OKive read some articles on how cherries can thrive in soft water but I think I'll need to supplement thier diet with cuttlefish bone or something to help them moult

Ah OK, I see. I'll probably not go for anchors then as they need well oxygenated water and my tank is quite like a cube so that doesn't allow much oxygen diffusion. If someone comes along with Cherry shrimp advice it would be good as I like the ottos and cherries idea but of they're not suited...

So there's sparkling gourami that I like and I've had a look at anchor catfish which also seem nice. I haven't seen anything on cherries though.

Thanks very much Byron. That was lots of information, nothing bad about that though, very informative and for now I think my options are shrimp (if they CAN do softwater ) and ottos, and second option would be some other nano fish and I'll have a look on some right now for soft acidic fish.

I like the look of bettas but would like to keep several fish, and I think bettas can be agressive but I definitely considered them, dwarf puffers as well not great with shrimp is what I saw I thought guppies were hardwater and I did consider them but my water is soft My pH is fairly neutral...

So I've got my new tank up and running I've been doing a fishless cycle and doing my research the tank is about 30 liters and my hardness is 3.5 German degrees, I was tu inking of getting 6 otocinclus vestitus catfish and 6 cherry shrimp but is my tank to soft for cherry shrimp ? And is it too...
