10 gallon

I'm looking for plants to go in a 10g brackish water tank housing only 1 fiddler crab at the moment. The tank gets no direct sunlight and besides a few stones the substrate at the bottom is sand. I've been researching and i like the banana Lily and the rosette sword. Would either of these be ok...

Hi all, I’m currently cycling my tank ( I think) and looking for ideas to stock my tank. Here is how it started I was in my basement and found my old 10 gallon tank with the filter ( the basement is heated) I took it out cleaned The tank out bought a new filter because the old one didn’t work...

Hi there, After 23 days of fishless cycling my 10 gallon finally could process 3ppms of ammonia in 24 hours with zero nitrates. Since then I've rescaped (twice!!!) And finally stocked my tank. I put 4 panda corys, one large zebra nerite, one small tiger nerite, and my male koi half moon betta I...

Hey everybody! So, I have thought of starting a saltwater aquarium, and I have a 10 gallon tank. Are you guys able to tell me what equipment I need, as well as stocking and maintenance? I know my options for stocking are limited, as it is a 10 gallon. Thanks for your help!

Hi there, I currently started a new 10 gallon 2 weeks ago that I am in the middle of doing a fishless cycle in. Here is a picture, although I am adding some microsworfs along the perimeter of the glass, a moss covered bridge made of coconut shell over the sand, and dwarf baby tears on a piece...

I am getting a 3-4 inch Pacu tomorrow and I will be putting it in a 10 gallon with 2 other Firemouth Cichlids (small) and yes I know I need a way bigger tank but for now I will keep it in a 10 gallon until it gets about 6 inches then into my 20 gallon, but what other small fish or snails do you...

Hi there, Im really puzzled with my first attempt at fishless cycling using ammonia. My two 5 gallons I successfully did a fish-in and had them cycled in about 3 weeks. Starting my new 10 gallon isn't going so well. Here's some helpful info on tank setup: First 2 days I had the tank filter...

Hi there! Please read the entire post to get necessary info to help you answer my questions! Thank you! I currently have 2 cycled 5 gallons housing one Betta and 3 ghost shrimp each. I successfully did a fish-in cycle in both (luckily) but with my second Betta the nitrite level stressed him...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and to fish keeping in general. :) I'm interested in getting into the hobby of fishkeeping and have done lots of research. Of course, I know about the Nitrogen cycle, the pH levels, water temperature, water conditioner, lighting, heating and many other things. Lately...

hi! i am Lyuba and i am new to fishkeeping. Well, several years ago I had tiny tank with betta fish, which survived a lot (never did any cycling or dechlorinated water). Currently cycling my new 10 gallon tank with One & Only. I would like to have one betta and a couple smaller fishes (looking...

So i had a betta that recently passed away. :unsure: The good news out of that is I get to pick out new fish. I have a ten gallon tank that my betta was in all by himself. I am kinda going in the direction of a community tank, and I have some ideas but i don't know which one would work out...

I got a betta (velvet thunder) about a mount ago since then I have added 5 harliquen rasboras and 6 glow light tetras. Thunder was fine with this he still acts the same and does not chance or attack them. I was thinking of getting some Pygmy corydoras and I was wondering how many I should get...

I've had a guppy and a cremesicle Lyretail Molly for quite some time, and the guppy has always enjoyed playfully chasing the molly around the tank. This morning, however, I guess he was hungry, as he decided to nip at the Molly until the poor guy had several red spots on him. As soon as I fed...

I threw a pair of Bn plecos in a 10g for breeding purposes, and it was very surprising to me that the breeding was successful, the male would always harass and chase the female (once I woke up wither her out of the tank) the male did not think his hide was sutible for young, he simply kept...

recently at petco I picked up a female labeled as a baby. I did not want another red veil tail, so I purchase this..Crowntail? Not sure what she is, any ideas? Hopefully her color will change eventually too. Anyways very curious and healthy fish

I recently trimmed an old leaf off my sword to find that it was covered in a carpet of this short algae, not sure if it's hair algae, id like to know for the heck of it Thanks.

recently I Did a 80% water change, all My fish were fine until My dwarf cories,otocinculus and bristle nose pleco started going for air constantly,they loose a bubble of air like they can't hold it on and then go for a new one Ph 6.7 Ammonia 0 Nitrate 10 Nitrite 0 Tank size 10 Gallon

I have a HOB filter in my 10 gallon tank, and the intake sits rather low (even without the extension pipe). I want to convert from gravel to sand. I have owned tanks with sand in the past, but I guess I had good luck in terms of clogging and HOB breakdowns from sand. Long story short, I am...

Hi, everyone! I'm relatively new to the fish community. After a fairly sad experience, due to inexperience and overstocking (and unexpected breeding, which led to further overstocking), I've decided that if I really would like to have fish in my life, I need to make sure they're being cared for...

I currently own a ten gallon community tank I will get a 25 gallon tank for cichlids. So far i think i want Kribensis, Sun catfish,Electric yellow cichlids, and blue johanni cichlids. Will this work? How many of each species? Is the size ok?

As I type this one of my beloved guppies is dying. I bought the poor guy and an adult and he was in pretty rough shape. I'm surprised he made it 8 months in my tank.   My plan right now is to fill his place with another male guppy, but I was wondering if there would be any other good tank mates...

im starting a new freshwater tank and i was thinking about doing 5 black phantom tetras and 5 von rio flame tetras with various live plants. tetras are usually middle level and i have no high or low level fish, i thought about some guppies or gouramis but im afraid the tetras would fin nip...

So I have a 10 gallon tank that is very lightly planted. I have small bunch of Java Fern on some driftwood, and some Anubias nana.NO special gravel,special lighting,CO2, or fertilizers YET. My tank has very low LED lights. But I've surprisingly gotten 4 or 5 new growth from the rhizomes and...

Hello all this is my first post so bare with me here. I'm new to the aquarium world so I have a few questions I started cycling my 10gal betta tank over 2 months and 2 weeks ago. I am doing a fishless cycle with pure ammonia and my ammonia was dropping from 4ppm to 0ppm in about 12hours so I...

I have a 10 gallon tank. It's really new so I'm waiting two months before putting anything else new in it, but I have a male betta. I have had him for a few months now. I have the basic petco gravel, heater, filter, and some rocks and plants (I'll upload a picture), and these are what I wanted...

Hello there,    I just figured I would post some pictures of my new tank setup. It's 10 gallons, has sand as substrate and has some live plants (java moss, java fern and anubias. This is my first real attempt at setting up a fish tank. I had fish when I was a kid and I've had bettas up until a...

Heres a picture of my pet crowntail betta Svyatoslav, or Borris. I was taking a Russian history class at my university and the name kept coming up and was fun to say,but he also goes by Boris for those who can't pronounce or remember Svyatoslav. I have had him for about 9 months now and he's...

I keep feeder guppies in one of my tanks, which has worked out wonderfully.  I decided it would be fun to do a little genetics experiment and mix my feeder guppies with inexpensive but fancier guppies in my 10gallon snail tank.  So, I moved over a few females and gave them 3 colorful males to...

I was thinking of setting up a 10 gallon coldwater aquarium. For stocking, I was thinking of 3 American Flag Fish and 3 or 4 Red Cherry Shrimp. The filter will be an Aqueon 10 quietflow and there will be no heater at all. What do you think?

Hi!  Ok, I have made quite a few topic/post things since I joined so if I am making to many please someone tell me and I'll slow it down haha.  Anyways, so if anyone has seen my other posts you'll know I have been thinking about getting a 10-20 gallon tank, but then I read the the fish I...

I haven't been on in a long time, but I need help! My betta (Floyd) is currently in a 1.5 gallon tank. My mom has finally decided that I can upgrade! (YAY!) So... I have a few questions. 1) Is this kit a good choice...

Hello,    6 days ago I set up a 10 gallon tank and have been letting it naturally cycle. I decided today to go to my local pet store and check out some fish. The owner was there and was very informative and helpful... or so I thought. By the end of my visit he convinced me that fish-in cycle is...

Been a while since I have kept a betta. Figured it was time to have another happy guy   Started like this in the cup at the LFS.... he was pretty stunning, but less so than some of the other guys. So many imperfections, I just had to have him.     Immediately acclimated and was eating. annnnd...

My beautiful sunset/wagtail platy is at wits end..    I came home from an all day outing to find my male platy drained of color (black tail now white/clear..red faded on body) and hovering near the top of the tank.  i believe i spotted some ich on his mouth, so my husband and i tested the pH...

Just wanted to share my 10 gallon Buddah Zen Garden tank, this will be a tetra community tank. My first tank in awhile and Im super pleased with it! Tell me what you think :) Just got done with my cycling process and will be adding fish soon!

Hello everyone! I am a 20 year old woman from Canada. I am sort of new to fish keeping and aquariums but I have been doing well so far. Anyways, enough about me. Here's a few videos and pictures of my setups!   VIDEO        

I have a 10 gallon fish tank, with java fern frilley and sword, and i have a banana plant and some mosses. Right now my java sword and banana plant are dying and I don't know what to do. I have plant iron, liquid fertilizer, Flora Max plant substrate, with a full spectrum LED plant light...

I am thinking about getting a male betta fish for my ten gallon fish tank and I have some questions. It is not fully cycled yet but almost, I will probably get him 2 or 3 weeks from now and I know that I can only get one because they are highly territorial.     Is a ten gallon suitable for just...

Does anyone have an African Dwarf Frog in a 10 gallon Top Fin aquarium?  There are small holes in the aquarium hood near the filter and one at the front for feeding. Does/would the frog ever manage to escape?   Thanks

I'm thinking about making one for both my 10 and 15 gallon tanks to give them the extra filtration. I want to go as cheap as I possibly can with this. I noticed that the biggest things that would cost the most would be the filter sponge if I bought it from the pet store (I haven't found anything...
