yea he's not stuck in a plant, i scoured the tank when i changed the water. And now again, about a week ago, another disappeared. I'm noticing the smallest two disappeared. it's strange.

I just got 4 new glass catfish and 3 are healthy and happy but the 4th one disappeared after a day of having him! The slots in the filter arent big enough for him to have gotten sucked in, there is a secure lid on the tank so he couldntve jumped, and the other fish in the tank arent big enough...

Well the fish died. The popeye went away, but his stomach was still very very bloated so i put him in a hospital tank and he died a few days after. Guess I'll never know what caused it. :unsure: -_- :-( :rip:

okay, thanks. :)

I got a 28g tank and it's been running a while now and I'm ready to add fish. I really want tiger barbs but I don't know how big of a group they should be kept in. I don't want them to be in too small of a group and start getting nippy with the other fish. My plans for other fish are 4 glass...

That's so lucky! I can't get my dwarf rainbows to mate no matter what I do.

Maybe a pair of dwarf gouramis would be good for a 10g setup as they are easy to care for and hardy. Plus they are very pretty. :) :fish:

I usually just use common sense when stocking, not the inch to gallon rule. And I too overstock sometimes but with good waterchanges overstocking a little is okay. :) And fishbowls are not acceptable. Plus, they're not good for viewing the fish anyways. The spherical shape distorts the...

Wow... I only knew of two of those varieties of glass catfish! There are tons of types of them... :huh:

Yea if it's not affecting the fish's behavior it might not even notice it's there.

I also have a ten gallon tank and personally I don't really use the inch per gallon rule. It's really a matter of common sense. If the tank looks like it's at capacity, it probably is. And if your fish are lonely I'd say get the other 2 fish. I only really use the rule as a guideline.

cool I'm about to get convicts for my 28g, I'm excited about them. I wish you luck with yours! :D

The bottomfeeders would like the sand because it would be soft for them and wouldn't damage their barbels or anything. But sand makes the tank kind of cloudy when you first put it in and is harder to clean so really you could do either. :)

When you add the wood or rocks some types of rocks can change the hardness of the water, and be careful because there are some types of wood that will stain the water an orangish color.

There are actually certain things that you can get to put into the water to remove the cloudiness. Once the water in my tank became very cloudy but all I had to do was change the filter media and rinse the gravel, which you did, so I can't see why you'd have any problems anymore... maybe it's...

I love harlequins! They're so beautiful. :) I don't have any but I've heard that they're pretty hardy too.

It's great to have someone speak up about this, because, you're right, I'm sure they do not enjoy being kept in such tiny spaces. It would be like a person living in a tiny closet their whole life. Uncomfortable and cramped. :( Anyways, good idea, spreading the word! :nod:

okay thanks :)

I used the med. Maracyn which I put in the tank once every day for five days, as instructed. The eye didn't turn black and the scales are not sticking out.

I'm getting Chinese food and staying home :)

It doesn't sound like white spot. But when you say it turned black around the edges, do you mean the edges of the fins or the edges of it's body? Because I know of one disease where the bases of the fish's fins turn black and it can kill the fish. It's called China disease and is VERY rare...

My danio's eye is very swollen and I bought a mediction for popeye that didn't work. I tested my water and ammonia and nitrite and everything was 0. Then I noticed that his stomach was very swollen and just the other night I noticed that my usually very active danio was moving sluggishly at...

If you did end up getting a betta usually most small fish can go with them, especially some killifish. Or you could get a male betta with a few females. And when you have a smaller tank you should probably change your water more than once every two weeks. I do one 25% every week and it keeps...

What if I got two females? Would they be less aggressive?

Midnight Catfish are really cool, and they usually come out pretty often once they've been in the tank a while. Plus they're peaceful and only get to 3.5-5 in. They hang around the bottom of the tank but don't suck onto it. :good:

Hi, I have a 28 gallon tank and was thinking of getting convict cichlids. But I also wanted some glass catfish and a midnight catfish and tiger barbs. But I've heard convicts are very aggressive and I'm worried that the glass catfish in particular are too timid to be with the convicts. Could...

What type of cichlids do you have in mind for your tank?

You're so lucky! Those are like all my favorites that I wish I could have but my mom only says i can get when i move out! -_-

yeah cause i'm not really sure what i want. i have no idea actually. :unsure:

I got a 28 gallon tank with no fish in it right now and I was wondering what the biggest size of fish i could keep in there is and how many fish i can keep in it. also suggestions would be nice! :)

I just got a new 28 gallon tank and I'm trying to decide what kinds of fish i want for it and i really like oddballs... so could you please give me some suggestions? :huh: :)

Thanks! :)

awww i'm so sorry... :(

Awww. He's beautiful!!! Good luck with ur first betta!!! :)

The other day I was at a fish store and saw the cutest little mono fish and I really want some of them now. And the dealer said it was a brackish fish but I just wanted to be sure about them, like what water conditions do they need, and how big of a tank, and all that stuff. So please let me...

I've had: 1 kuhli loach 1 cory cat 1 goldfish 1 betta 2 rainbowfish 2 marbled hatchetfish 1 silver hatchetfish 1 dwarf cichlid 1 head and tail light tetra 1 black molly 1 pearl danio 1 blue danio Davy, a black cat Barney, a black cat Ebby, a black cat Chester, a maine coon cat about 2 triops...

hi

I'll try finding them a larger tank this weekend, and we'll see if they hatch! :)

Hello, anyone? I need to know quickly because I planned on adding more fish this weekend. :unsure:

I'm actually from Wisconsin, so I don't know if I'll be able to find them but I can try. :fish:
