i agree^, but if you take out the swords, a small cichlid would be good(dwarfs, or maybe a convict cichlid

I agree^

thanks i'll do that, your help is greatly appreciated.

i had no idea what the tank sixe was when i said that, and you're probably right.

pics would be nice

will the gourami be alright with the shrimp?

hey, i was wondering about some tank mates for a dwarf gourami, its a 10 gallon tank thats in the process of cycling. i already have the idea of some guppies or endlers. but i am really looking for a cleanup crew. i was thinking ghost shrimp, i think they are really cool and i need to know if...

the bristlenose IS a small species, no more than 6 inches you should be fine, i have one full grown at 6 inches in a 30g tank

just wait she might be a little late, cant rush nature

yes treat for white spot and do many water changes and hope for the best

i would just play it afe and get a divider from the pet store. better safe than sorry

not an expert on plants but 9 is hornwart

soak the wood, forget the granite, the vinegar thing is a little weird and ive never heard of it. soak the wood for a week in tank water.

yeah, you are in deep trouble my friend, should have cycled your tank for at least 3 weeks. good luck. i would give you advice but that just common knowlege, and NEVER overstock

When it comes to the fishless cycling, i like to add about a small pinch of fis food to your cycling water to give the bacteria something to jumpstart on. wait about a month for your cycling and it should stabalize, no need to check every 12 hrs, as eager as you are. I wouldnt add that granite...

whoa cool it with the water changes, 50% is plenty. In my opinion, mollies are a little big for a tank like that. but you can have like 5 platties maybe 6 in that tank. Watch out cause they breed like crazy and eventually youll be overwhelmed with babies.

i do a 10% change every week, and a 25% every month along with changing filter media. i just ran out of water test stuff a few days ago, all that i have is a pH tester and a NH3 which is at normal levels

this tiger barb has been out of the school for a day or two, and today i looked and saw that one of its eyes are bulging really far out compared to the other barbs. whats wrong and what should i do!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

they should be fine for quite a while, try to move them within 2 months

huh, if its rubbing on stuff, that sounds like ich, but you aid it was red so i don't know. ich is tiny white spots on the fish, you can add some medication to the tank. watch out cause invertebrates are very sensitive to the medication for ich

bogwood lowers ph, just get some ph raiser from petsmart or petco. make sure to add a little bit at a time or you could put your fish into shock

sharks need schools, and that tank is too small for all those fish. rams and sharks will eat guppies and neons also

Welcome, try not to take fish keeping too seriously, its supposed to be fun, no need to plan and prepare for 6 months. all that you need is to buy the tank, filter, gravel, and chemicals. clean gravel, add water and get filter running along with heater then cycle the water for 2 weeks, then add...

i agree^, you need to add a few fertilizer tablets when you put them in and wait a few weeks for fish to let the water cycle with the plants and bogwood.

yeah, don't do that. fish are just like us and they need a determined day and night or else they get stresses

i was wrong about the tank size, its a 15 gal. im definetely gonna put in the dwarf, and im also gonna put in some guppies. now im just deciding on snails or ghost shrimp.

no problem.

mine is really wierd for a cichlid, its very shy and timid, its more bullied by other fish. ive never seen it bully any other fish in the aquarium. ive had it for 2 years, it used to be in a 40 gallon, but its only 4 inches long, so i figured it would be fine in the 20 long.

im a high school junior, i have a 20 gallon with tiger barbs and convicts. i used to have more tanks, but i moved in with my mom, and i didnt have the space for my 55 gal. i have about 5 years of tropical fish expirience.

looks like all the signs of ich, and stringy poop is normal for like all fish. do a 25% water change weekly, and use ich treatment. you can get it anywhere, and you should be doing 10% water changes weekly even when your fish aren't sick. and 25 once a month while you clean your filter.

i have a convict cichlids and seven tiger barbs in a 20 gal tank, small i know. but this thing has two 20 gallon filters in it and the water is pristine. i was wondering if i could add some cory cats?

usually those stands are built to hold heavy things, think about it. its like 8 pounds per gallon of water so they are pretty tough. you also have to keep in mind that you might just have bad luck. stuff happens and if it falls, that sucks, maybe you'll get your money back or maybe you won't

I need ideas for the 10 gallon tank im setting up for my high school science class, its going to have one dwarf gourami, and then i don't know what. i need ideas, i was thinking neons, cory cats, and ghost shrimp.

tiger barbs are great, i have em with mine and they get along great, pleco would also be nice in your tank. make sure to get at least 7 tiger barbs though because they need to school., and they come in many different colors, green regular, red, and albino.
