Giant danios- I was told they would be great in a community tank, but they just chased my other fish and would let anyone on the top 1/3 of the tank

I don’t really know, when I had mine, all he ate were blackworms, but that might be a viable option ^_^

I’ll probably also give less algae wafers and put in cucumber for my algae eaters instead

I have cories, but I also feed algae wagers which make a mess as well as fish poop, so I need to help them out a little

I’ll definitely try that, how close to the sand do you put the tube?

I recently switched my 29 gal long to black sand (imagitarium) and I’ve been cleaning it with a regular siphone, but it’s pretty inefficient. The siphon doesn’t pick up all of the debris and it drains water too fast to get it clean, I’ve tried to stop the flow in order to slow the draining, but...

You might want to get other food just in case as they can be picky. Black worms are a good choice if they won’t take snails

I’m going to test the water tomorrow and go from there

Okay, so what are some steps I can take to soften the water?

Is it dangerous for the fish, or could I try it just to see what happens?

this is what they gave me, they said to put it in my filter

The information was not available in my area, I’m going to try to get a gh and kh testing kit

Oh, I got it tested at a pet store and they told me it was hard and gave me something to put in my filter, I remember seeing bright orange on the test strip, but idk if that was hardness or something else

I just tested my water, it is hard, I’m putting in water softener today, ph is on the alkaline side. No ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites

I think they’re male and female? Here’s another pic

I know this is really bad, but I forgot to add the platys before, please bare with me, I really want to fix my mistakes

Okay, I will send pics as soon as I can. If they’re the same sex, would it make sense to rehome one and get one Another opposite sex?

i got them in February pretty small, so they’ve gotten bigger, but not fully grown yet. I have to check if they’re male or female because I don’t know yet, but they are

How do I tell if they’re bonded? I got them as babies in February and haven’t seen any aggression between them or toward other fish, of course this may change as they get older, but I haven’t seen any problems with them, they seem pretty happy and peaceful right now

I was led to believe that I only need three of each schooling fish. I spoke to a couple of long time fish owners and they said that angels are fine for my tank. What should I do now? I won’t get any shrimp (unless there’s a way with plants and hiding places) but what should I do about the the...

So I have a 29 gal long Community tank with the following fish: - 2 khuli loaches - 7 corydoras - 2 angelfish - 1 bristlenose pleco - 3 otocinclus - 5 prestilla tetras - 1 neon tetra - 4 harlequin rasboras - 3 platys - a few snails which of these should I get more of so that they will feel more...

I’m in the process of switching the substrate in my tank and I noticed these bubbles forming on top of the sand. I know that gas bubbles in sand can be dangerous for fish, but are these okay? I tried stirring the sand a bit, but they won’t go away. More bubbles keep surfacing and they sit on top...

Thank you all so much for all of the help! I’m so excited!

Did you leave the tank half full or put Half of the old water back and then do a water change the next day? (I don’t know if I’ll need to take all of it out, I’ve never had ammonia issues)

Does the sand affect hardness?

How much of the original water and new water did you put back in the tank? (I’m worried about shocking my fish, I don’t normally do large water changes)

I’m planning to switch my substrate to black diamond blasting sand(medium grit), I’ve done all of the research and concluded that this would be the best option for my tank, but I have a few questions: 1. Would a 50 lb bag be enough for a 29 gal long tank? 2. How much sand should I plan on losing...

Natural for sure, I want a new centerpiece that my fish could swim through,I really like grassy moss and I think my shrimp would enjoy it (they already love their moss balls) I like the look of driftwood or rocks with moss on them

whatever would look good on black sand

Okay, so I’ve decided on black sand, does anyone know where I can get decorations for a fair price in the US? I want to do rocks or driftwood with moss and plants

How much sand would I need for this tank?

Would more Kuhli loaches be a good idea? I don’t want to overstock, but I know that they’re also schooling fish and I only have two

How does natural sand affect fish colors?

I’m using tetramin flakes and I have some aqueon granules, it’s really hard to find food because the ones without due are more expensive for some reason, but I’ll look into those
