I am gonna take a picture of it and post that soon.
Right now i only have three fish. A Black tetra, a flame tetra, and a serpae tetra.
I am gonna get only 2 more fish :/ for the tank, Which kind should i get? I was thinking about some mollies or swords.
OH Yeah it's only a 10 gal. :D
One bad thing about the lil cups is as Alia said they kids go by and see them and want to get one then they pic up they cup and start shaking. :( Then the poor lil fish gets a lot of stress and dies. :sick:
There is a perfectly good explaination to the reason they put them in the lil cups.
Since Bettas are such a popular and good selling fish the wal-mart store buys large quantities. And we all know how aggressive they can be to other Male bettas, so they seperate them so they don't fight because...
Someone told me to have only 1 fish per gallon, but i guess it would depend on the size of the fish right? Me with tetras i would put about 15 to 20. :D
And a cool tetra to add would be flame tetras. They are red and silver.
:D YAY another tiger barb lover like myself :D
I think any shoal of at least 5 would work out fine. :grr: And like LesGerber said you can mix different types of barbs too.
:thumbs: What other fish are you going to have? :thumbs:
Oh and welcome to the forum.
The walmarts prices are cheaper than the pet stores i have been to but i don't like how the care is there. Just because fish are small dosen't mean they are any less important. I live in North Carolina and we are kinda country people and one day they were going to have a hog killing to so the...
:D Good luck :D
Don't get mad if some die because i have a fry of swordtails and it started out with 25 now down to 5. But they have been alive for a few weeks now.
I am only 16 so since i can't get a real good job i was thinking about working in the pet department since i obviously know more about fish than the current staff.
They have those bettas in very little cups and one guy working there knocked some over!
When i went to Wal-mart one day i was looking at the fish and they have a woman working there and i don't what is wrong with her but she was mixing the fishes water. Then she put a BETTA in with the TIGER BARBS!!! (how dumb is that?) I told her it was a bad idea so she took it out. Then she put...
;) Well i am getting a 55 gal. tank. And i did some research and picked fish that the tigers would most likely leave alone. Also about the loaches the ones i saw at the store were less than 2 inches long, but if they do get too big then i will make a pond in my yard for them to live in. ;) (...
:grr: 10 Tiger barbs, 5 Black tetras, 5 Flame tetras, 4 Lyertail mollies, 2 Black and 2 Red velvet swordtails, 4 platies, and 4 clown loaches? :grr:
:huh: What would you add or take away? :huh:
Well how do you think this would work out as a community? The 10 tigers, 5 black tetras, 5 flame tetras, 4 lyertail mollies, 2 black and 2 red velvet swordtails, 4 Clown loaches, and 4 platies?
All in a 55 gallon tank.
