Thanks, that's what I've been doing. And since I put more plants in and did a water change earlier this week, the algae seems to be less. As for adding more fish, like I said, I realize I'm understocked. I was thinking of adding a 2 more of the Black skirt tetras, but then was thinking about...

Ok, I've had my tank up for a little over a year now and it was going well until a few weeks ago. I decided that I wanted to try and use live plants instead of the fake ones i had been using since I set it up. I bought 3 plants, set them up and everything seemed to be going ok. However, now I...

Darkentity, The reason I wanted to stay away from the dwarfs was due to the fact that they are considered a more fragile fish. From all the reading I had done, as long as the Pearl was the only one in the tank, there shouldn't be any problems. Since the Pearls tend to be larger than the 3...

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I'm heading back to the store monday to get a couple of more fish. I'll have to look and see what other colors they have. Guess I didn't screw up as bad as I thought I did.

Thanks for the reply's. The Gourami has been in the tank since Sunday night with no problems. But I realize that it could just be settling in and will eventually become a terror. So far, though, the Platies seem fine. After looking online, it appears that the albino danio is really a gold...

Ok, I have spent the last month doing research and making sure that I picked up the right fish for my new tank. I wanted a Gourami, since I thought they looked cool. I had decided on a Pearl, since they are peaceful and I figured it would get along with my 4 Platies. Well, being somewhat...

I have a question on stocking my tank. The tank is currently cycling with 4 Platy's. Everything looks good, Ammonia is 0, Nitrate is 0 and Nitrate is about 10. I have a couple of fake plants in the tank and a sunken lighthouse. I am not sure what other fish to put into the tank. I was...

Hello, I'm new here and kind of new to keeping an aquarium. I had tanks about 20 years ago when I was kid, but things have definately changed. I'm currently cycling a 30 gallon tank with 3 Platys. Don't flame me on that, I didn't realize and took the advice from one of the chain pet stores...
