I had a 6 hour drive so planned on needing the bubbler but for a smaller drive it's probably not necessary but it can't hurt either.

I did a 6 hour drive , 10 hour total tank-to-tank move with Africans in a 5g bucket. Put in some hidey decorations and plugged an air stone into the car lighter with an adaptor and drove like my mom was in the car. No fatalities at all. You could bag them separately for 10 miles but moving is...

Welcome to the site. There's a bunch of different answers to that question and it depends on what you want to do but a 10g is a bit small to raise fry and maintain 6 mollies IMO. I would either invest in a bigger tank, and keep the 10 as a nursery if breeding is your interest or just leave...

Guppies are flashy and move slow and Gouramis tend to nippy. I know theres always exceptions but fish for me are not an experiment so i usually err on the side of caution to avoid killing them. I would avoid it.

Ghost shrimp are pretty simple. It's pretty obvious when they're dead so until then it's all good so I wouldn't worry.

I have ghost shrimp and love them. They have just as much character as my fish and one guy even swims up into the mix at feeding time. Cheap, interesting and nice to look at. Maybe they remind me of my ex?

I think the most important things to consider how many fish you have I'm the tank and how much you feed them. Do you have scavengers like shrimp to eat anything that slips past the huddled masses. I do about 25% every week. I check my water a couple of times a week because I'm anal about water...

Thanks for the reply. Glad it's not something I did. Appreciate all the responses.

Lol. I saw that the other day then two seconds later saw a dog in the store wearing the bandana.

Yeah I should have qualified that my tank is not heavily planted, nor obviously was my cichlid tank. I'd like to get there though.

I clean my gravel. The thought of all that poop in my rocks is just nasty. I usually do 1/3 of the tank every 2 weeks so a full vacuum every month and a half then repeat. Had a 100 gallon cichlids tank for about 5 years and they all did great. Been doing that with my 30g community tank and my...

Nice. I forgot about Poison. Though I heard Whitesnake 'Here I go Again' on the way into work and I'm tempted to change my vote. My wife says all boys are dumb like that so why would fish be any different. Things seem to have evened out so he either got shot down or I'll have some little fry...

Thank-you Tank is a 30g long, mix of fake and live plants with lots of places to hide. Has an Aquaclear 30 on it for a filter. Maintain the water temperature at 78. There's been no conflict or nipping. Murphy has flared a couple times but mainly the red wags keep to themselves, the Mickey...

Thank you I did the drip method, sorry if the terminology isn't right, but gradually changing him over to my water rather than just the temperature equalization. Murphy was in there 3 weeks or so and in his Betta tank for about a year before that.

These are my first live plants so I have no idea either but I followed their instructions to the letter so I know that part was done right, or as right as the guy that told me is. For the water, I checked it this morning after finding him and it's good so it may be something I can't test for?
