Ok, thank You!! Will be doing a water change tonight/ scrubbing biofilm/ cleaning the filter. If in a week it has not healed, I will add salt.

So my brother told me that one of my fish looked bloody, and because he's much younger than me I know he can be a little bit dramatic. But I went over to my tank and realized he was right! Well, sort of. There are no aggressors in the tank other than the other tiger barbs. (STOCKING: 8 tiger...

Hello! This is my first tank, so it is quite a work in progress, but I couldn't help but enter my 29-gallon tank.:):):). The tank has been set up in total for 5 months, but the bulk of the fish have been in the tank for 3 months, however, there are some fish added more recently. I love my tiger...

Update! Even though no one will probably see his, I decide to just to post this quick end result. As per suggestion I decided to add three albino tiger barbs to increase the school to 8! I planned on getting a pleco, but upon arrival they did not have the one I wanted… but they did have the...

Hello! I posted a couple of days ago how I had a 30 gallon tank with five tiger barbs + 1 mystery snail. I am considering taking the Tiger barbs and putting in 1-2 fancy goldfish. I had a couple of questions specific to goldfish before I make any decisions. How many goldfish could live happy in...

Sorry about the goldfish comment! This is in relation to getting rid of the tiger barbs and putting in a fancy Ranchu goldfish. Sorry for not specifying. Thank you for the information!!!

Hello! Thanks for all your advice and responses! it looks like the most recommended option is to increase the school level. I like this idea however I was originally looking for a fish that I could tell apart from the rest which is why I was leaning against it. I would like to make sure that...

Hello! I have a 30 gallon tank (with relatively soft water). It is properly cycled, and then to limit the risk of possibility of feeling sad over the loss of a dead fish, I got a school of tiger barbs (5) + 1 mystery snail, not realizing how they did not have a long list of tank mates. Now I...

This is my idea for a starting point—- the bag of salt says 1/2 cup for every gallon for full salt. So I will go lightly 1/4 cup. Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for responses! I have Java moss, dwarf onion, and a small anubias. I already have a hydrometer. The salinity I already know (1.008) Thanks!

-Ok thank you will start Adding salt today - The ones the particular LFS have are young, but not crazy young. About an inch or two. They are already in brackish water, but my plants were in fresh so that’s why I’m going so slow. -That actually does help, because I have a bag of salt that says...

Hi! I’m going to be getting a F8 puffer! I have a 29G that is currently cycling. This is the first day, so I have not added salt yet. But I would like to slowly start raising the salinity. How many cups/ tablespoons/? should I put in at the start and how much should it rise? Thank you for...

Ok thanks. I don’t think I really want gouramis then unless I get lucky and find the powder blue in my fish store. I think I will continue my search for fish and go to the pet store tomorrow, see what I see, take pictures, and come back to research on the fish seen. Thanks to all and Happy...

Hi! Questions about honey / dwarf Gouramis. How many dwarf could go in my tank? How many honey? Also, are “sunset honey gourami” much bigger than honey? Or the same thing? Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh. What about a pair or just one? I think that they weren’t gonna get three anyway. Thanks for response:). Appreciate it. :)

Ok! Sorry, I didn’t know but I now know. So a no to the pea puffers? I think that my freind is planning on buying them as the online “trustworthy“ shop says 10g is ok as does other sites. Thanks to all!! :) :) :) :)

Ok! Are dwarf gourami = sparking gourami? Also how many Chilli Rasbora? Love this combination! Thanks for response! :)

Hi! Thanks!:) :) :) Will check Chilli rasboras out! I'm not planning on a community tank, just a centerpiece fish or a small school of fish or a large school of small fish :) Thank you!! I cannot get a bigger tank, but I will make sure to follow your cycling instructions! I will have plants in...

Hi! So I recently joined this site and started my first thread. The thread left of with me saying I was gonna do some corys in a 10G….. But then I kinda fell for other species!!! I don’t have my tank cycled yet, as I have decided to get the tank on Friday, cycle it through for a while with...

Alight after reading my original post I have see how the slash mark may have been confusing, and that is an error on my part. I planned on buying the tank now as it is on sale and the fish on black friday… not sure if there will be any sale but if I go on Black Friday I can get some nice decor...

Ok! Thank You! Do these smaller species require middle-tank fish to be happy? I have decided to go with a kit that includes a heater and a filter (10g). I will most likely buy it/ fish on Friday. Any plants that are a definite no-no? I know duckweed is not good but is there anything else...

Ok! Thanks! I'm confused though...habrosus cories are Ok or not Ok? If Ok does anyone know how many I could fit in 10 G planted w/ sand? Thanks!! :) :) :)

Could salt and pepper corys be happy in a 10 gal? My 20 gallon tank my fall through... Will they still be ok? Its as long as the old tank just less volume…I will con the search though. Thanks! :) :) :)

Thanks! Any specific brands for heater?

Ps.— anyone know good fish tank brands ?? Thanks!! :)

Ok thanks! :) :) :) I need suggestions for filter & heater….Thanks :) :) :):thanks::thanks::thanks:

Ok.. So I really wanna finalize my tank but can’t seem to decide/ find a good tank... I have been looking for ”starter kits” but would it be Ok to just get a tank and a heater? Because doing that seems to cut the cost by a lot. Would this tank be ok? I really wanted a starter kit but I guess if...

Ok! Thanks! The area I am planning on putting the tank is 36 inches, and 11 of those belong to my brothers ant farm. Will continue the search :). I will also look at upper water fish. Thanks :) :) :) :) Thank you! :) :) :) Thanks to all!

As I said before, my space for a tank is 25 in long by 16 in wide… Has anyone ever heard of a long tank that long? (Not being sarcastic, asking truly, had anyone heard of one? I cant find any...Will keep searching though :) ) I only want salt And pepper corries in their group and some nerites...

I believe I could but let’s say I couldn’t. Would a 10 gal long/ 20 gal tall be too small to make them happy? Thanks a million! Ok! I was planning on buying from local or ”Your Fish stuff” but I will look into that!! Ps. Water lilies (flower) — are these just for ponds or aquariums too? I was...

Ok Thanks. Will wait for response on tank, because I love the look of the black and white corys!!! Thank you so much for all the help you’ve given!!! :) Shrimp- does color matter? Nerites are the best snail right?

Also any suggestions for plants for corrys?

Ok! Thanks! So do you think They would like to have a 20 gal tall, or a 10 gal long, or I should search for a 20 gal long? Thanks a ton!!:thanks:

Will look into them!!!!! Thanks!! :) :) :) :thanks:

Ok! Thank You so much! I really appreciate it :) :) :) :) Questions About a new idea: -Could Panda Corys or Salt and pepper corydoras be happy in this 20 gal? Or would a longer 10gal make them happier? - Tank size aside, I know they like sand but would floating AND planted plants be a bother...
