4 or more if they are small... i have experience bigger ones living in pairs are just as happy

its really hard to say... IMHO... if the ecological system in the tank is fully balance, which may be in thsi case, you may start to wonder... is there a need to change water???/ Assuming that all waste broken down.... ammonia broken into nitrate and plants takes in all the nitrate...... The...

I'm running a 10 gallon with a hang on filter, and a 2 gallon with a internal filter.... Well the hang on is great, but it doesn't quite suck the dirt from the bottom.... I'm thinking of starting out on a canister filter.... on the other hand, the internal filter is good at clearing dirt at...

i have a friend who has a micro tank... those 1 feet X 1 feet X 1 feet planted tank with just 3 fishes in it.... His tank is... well i would say 2/3 planted.... with a bit of gravel and no filter, no air pump and just clip on lights and definitely no sunlight on it daily.... no CO2 as well...

I'm using a Hang on Back filter as well... the exact model is Ehiem Liberty 200. there are 4 cartridges at the back... i make it a point to clean one each week... and after cleaning it twice, i will replace them.. again, one each week. so that the other 3 can still have sufficient bacterial...

hahah... if i get anything from the bell/sell section, while i save from the price of the tank, the transportation will kill me flat.... i'm stayingin Singapore :lol:

From my part of the world... there is no such thing as cold water.... even the tap water is about 28 to 30 degrees celcius. But Gold fish survive very well..... THis is what you may consider doing.... cultivate some green water. Green water are water with suspended algae in them. The algae...

hhahh..... i'm kinda like in your same shoe.... i have a 12 Gallon now... and my wife just refuse to let e buy even a 81 gallon that i've been eyeing for.... i'm even contemplating buying it for a neighbour and ask him to pretend to throw it away, so that i can quickly go pick it up!!!! The...

i had algae all over the tank just last week..... algae on the plants.. on the rocks... hair algea threading over just about anywhere, including the glass and even inside the filter medium.... my light was on about 15 hours a day........ End of last week, i decide on a complete black out over...

My 2 cents worth.... If your fishes are dying from fungus infections, wyou would be able to see the fungus growth pretty clearly.... and it takes a while for fungus infection to kill... my last batch of platies lasted more than a week before kicking the bucket. I would do a test on the the...

hahah.... look around your home house..... i had a cardinal which dissapeared without a trace as well.. yesterday i found it under the sofa something like 10 feet away.... a pal of my had a missing fish... and found it under his bed... in another room... both out house has not other form of...

i get what you mean abotu neon always getting sick.... the more expensive fishes are much hardier...... i have 15 cardinals, and theyhave been well for the last 2 months... i hopee they stay this wa, coz i've issued a strictly no replacement law in the tank.... i want some really colour...

No offense to anyone, but i beg to differ.... IMHO the 1 inch per gallon is a guide, but not bilble truth. i cannot imagine the bioload of an one inch neon be greater than a one cm puffer. i have a 11 gallon tank, slightly bigger then yours.... my stock consist of :- 15 cardinals 6 zebra...

why do you need that book when you got this forum of helpful people? well.. my take is this: the book is nto interactive... the forum is.... if everyone can lern everything from books...... gee i would have become and astronaut! my 2 cents worth

if you want a quicker method... i use fresh prawn.....peel off the shell and dump in one a day for the first 4 days..... I did my cycling this way a with completely new equipments..... my cycling was completed in 1 and a half week...... the con is the water will be quite cloudy afterr 1...

hahah... i know... i know you weren't going to kill the fish unless its the last resort.... i'm just sharing with you how i felt when my dog went blind.... until i realised that animals may have just as fulfilling life with or without sigh....

well... as long as your fish still can find its way around the tank, and can find it's way to food.... i don't see why you need to put it down.... Fishes are not like human... they may not need their sight that much..... i have a blind dog.. and she has been blind for the last 4 years of her...

i have a japaness koi pond at home.... As you would have known that koi feeds vertically.... and if the pond is not deep enough, the koi will not grow to its full potential length.... well... my pond is not deep enough... so my kois kind of like stop growing after about 1 foot in length...

what i did last time was that i soak it first in hot water...... for 1 day.... after that, i crush it, stole a new laundry bag from my wife, put the crushed shell inside and then chuck it in the filter. However, this method is very slow though, especially if you don;t crushed them.... If...

Mine had to be Cream.... my lonely puffer fish.... he is intelligent, and really cute to watch. he explores everywhere in the tank, and then when he finds no food, he will re explore the tank one more time.... When i hold the BW on my finger, he will swim to the top to nip it away from me...

this is a common problem if you have enough light source... and enough nutrients in the water... the easiest way to clear this up is using ocean free green away. However, the dosage on the instruction doesn't seems to be enough.... i doubled it before it clears away the algae... of course, if...

Hi... just to share my experience... i had a snail infestation, and i refused to use chemical as well. I bought 4 clown loaches.... clown loaches are very prone to ICH. they gave all my fishes ICH and wipe out my tank.... I got a batch of new fishes, i decided against clown loach this...

HI Guys, Not too good news. My 2 cory and my 15 cardinals hasn't been eating well lately.... and the cory looks really stress.....the cardinals are hiding all the time.... Anyway, yesterday, i found some white spots on the tail of some of the cardinals. BAD NEWS! The evil ICH is attacking...

Well, from my very little experience (4 months) neon tetras can be kept with Danios. No worries on that. i dunno about the light problem.. i'm facing it as well. I have a 10g tank with 15 cardinals, 2 corydoras and 1 puffer. The puffer is wild and bold..... the cories are sick, but i really...

Hi! If you refer to my reply above, you would have seen that after a bout of ICH, only my cory survive.... I too thot they were immune to ICH... The truth of the matter is that while they doesn't seems to show the white spots commonly notice in a ICH attack, they can carry the bacteria...

i wish i had read your posting earlier.... i had 4 clowns sick with ICH as well... they later passed to almost all the fishes in my tank.... wipe them out within a week... left me we 3 corydoras..... anyway, i found out that coppersave is too strong for fishes.......

You were luckier.... i was away on a trip with my wife the weekend that went by, as it was the labour day break here in Singapore. We set up the Automatice feeder.... did a Water change.... check filter and everything.... feeding and all that jazz. When i came back yesterday night, i lost 3...

Hi Bignose, WEll, I guess i wasn't saying that the fishes are unhealthy.... they actually looks normal, and act normally.... just don't spawn.... well... we can take it as a sign on unhealthness.... Just my 2 cents worth to help out...
