stocking

Hi guys, So my 120l has arrived I've decided to use bottled ammonia to cycle it rather than filter media from my betta tank; poor Maedhros has fin rot again so there's something odd going on there, though ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH readings are all fine so I'm not entirely sure what's...

I have a 55g tank stocked with 4 pearl gouramis, 10 tiger barbs, 2 pairs of German Blue Rams, 8 bloodfin tetras, a common pleco and 6 green Corys. The tank is looking a bit empty, I have a lot of plant cover and structure, temp is at 80, pH of 7. Water is quite soft. Curious what kinds of fish I...

Hi As the title suggests, I have changed my mind numerous times on stocking but I'm hoping this may be the final draft, pending your feedback :) My 90L tank is almost cycled (hopefully). There will be 2 pieces of bogwood a few rocks (2 large, 2 small), Jungle val, Anubias, Java moss, Frog bit...

I started a new tank on Dec. 2nd and today was the second day in a row that I got the readings you see below. I know that I need to wait a little longer before adding more fish (it was a fish-in cycle) and I will but I am confident that my tank has fully cycled! Now I have a few questions as I...

Hello! I have a 10 gallon established tank with a single moss ball, two balloon belly mollies, one albino cory catfish and one dwarf male gourami. Would it be possible to get another male gourami and another cory catfish? Or should I just get one OR the other? Or two more corys? I would love...

I am going to start a new 30 gallon tall fresh water mostly planted tank. I'm planning on fishless cycling once i get my soil and plants in. My stocking ideas are 2 Angelfish, 4 Black Neon Tetra, 5 Cherry Barbs, and 3 Dwarf Sucker fish. I chose those tetras because they are bigger than the...

Hi all, Brand new to the forum. Just bought a ten gallon tank and wanted to pose my stocking idea and get some feedback. In your opinion/experience, should it work? Should I add/replace/remove anything? I understand of course that there are no black and white answers, and each individual fish...

I'm thinking about getting a tank. I'm probably not able to get one, but I've been really thinking about a ten gallon in the past two weeks. I wanted small, tropical schooling fish. I thought between two choices: White Cloud Mountain Minnows (1.5-2 inches) or Harlequin Rasboras (2 inches). I'd...
