  1. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi, I just started my first aquarium and wanted to start small. I have a 15 gallon tank and it is decorated with all "fake" foliage. I have 6 Tetras. They seem happy but I wanted to make sure they have enough space to swim. Do I need to remove some of the decoration or do you think they can be...
  2. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    I have a 10-gallon tank with 3 assorted mollies, and 5 Pricilla tetras. I wanted to see if other people thought this was overstocked, the tank doesn't look crowded and a couple of other places I've checked say its fine but I wanted to see other peoples opinions because if it is overstocked I...

    Hello everyone! I'm new into the hobby and I've started with a 29 gallon tank. I hate myself for this, but I guess I didn't do as much research as I needed so I need your help. I started my tank 3 weeks ago with Stability by Seachem for a week to start with the bacteria build up. The parameters...

  6. Characins
    So today a short while after I turned the lights on my tanks to feed everyone breakfast, I saw some interesting behavior in my neons. Yep, sure enough they were breeding. I have a planted 10g full of cyanobacteria [ugh], 3 nerite snails, and 1male betta. I've had four of my neons for about 2...

    I'm planning to buy some tetras, mainly neon or cardinal, sometime this weekend to go with my Male Betta in my 20gal tank, but my main concern is my power filter because it is strong enough to suck anything small enough through the vent like small fish and shrimp. The problem is that the local...

    I've had my neon tetras for a few months and noticed recently that the two females had 'torn' or 'eaten' fins and tails, as well as some white patches on their sides which looked to me like lost scales. I just assumed that one of the others had been nibbling on them, but I've never seen that...
  9. Livebearers
    I was thinking about getting some guppies and putting them with neon tetras and maybe a sucker fish and some ghost shrimp but I don't know if the 10 gal I am gonna get is big enough? Also I want to use sand because I heard it helps the ph but the person I am buying the fishtank from is having...
  10. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    So I've cycled my new 20 gallon tank, and I want to place mollies and swordtails together. I have two questions, though. I've gotten mixed messages on whether this is a good idea; some say they're great together, others say it was awful. Will the two work well together? Also, I was thinking...
  11. Freshwater Journals
    Hello and welcome to my attempt to chronical my freshwater tank journey from 10 gallons to 75 gallons. I have some technical issues to resolve (starting with making all my pictures less than 2MB) but my intention is to tell my story just for the fun of it. I've admired other tank threads on this...

    I suppose I ought to start this post with some background on my tank and fishkeeping skills before anything else, since it's highly likely people who haven't been following my discussions on this site over the years may read this post. Tank size: 15 gallons established since: June 2010 temp: 26...

  15. Characins
    Ok, so I just set up my new 36 gallon tank, this is my first tank. I set everything up and ran the tank for a week before getting any fish. I bought 3 red long fin minor tetras on Monday. They adjusted fine for the first two days. Then started a problem. One is big, one small, and medium sized...
  16. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hi, I just set up my first real aquarium last week and put my fish in last night. They seem to be doing great, but I worry about their numbers. I purchased three black skirts and three red belly x-ray tetras. They are close to the same size, and they are in a 15 gallon tank. When I first put...
  17. Cyprinids and Atherinids
    Hi! I'm still stocking my 29 gal community tank, and was wondering: which will look better, two small schools of 4-6 neon tetras and 4-6 zebra danios, or one big school of 8-12 tetras or danios? I really want them to school, but I don't think they will be very scared in my tank, because it is a...
  18. Characins
    So, in my 10 gallon tank I have 3 black skirt tetras. In a few weeks, once my cycle is done/almost done, I want to get 3 more fish, so that I could have a proper "shoal." So, my question is- Would penguin tetras shoal with my skirt tetras? If not, is the only option skirt tetras? I like the...
  19. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hello all, Brand new to this forum, glad to find it. I've had a Betta for a while now in a 1 gallon tank, I bought him at a Petsmart and upon doing a bit of research I found a 1 gallon was WAY too small for him. We'd been talking about getting a 'real' tank, so Friday night we went to an...
  20. Beginner Planted Aquarium
    I have a 20 gallon tall tank and I am planning on building a stand for it this weekend. The stand will be made to accomodate the filter so I would like to know what kind of filter would be best for my tank before I build the stand. This will be a heavily planted tank with some tetras and a...
