    What are the effects of over-stocking?

    Hi, I have a 26 gal tank with a filter that can filter up to 80 gal. I also have 12 x-ray tetras, 5 guppies and 15 neon tetras which all seem to be doing fine.

    Aquascape idea??!? :)

    Hi! I've had a 25 gal tank for about a month with a Betta, 6 guppies and 6 neon tetras! They seemed to be doing fine but I wanted to add plant substrate for my bacopa, so I've taken all the water out and put some amazona plant substrate in! It was a lot of money and ive kind of come to the end...

    Adding dirt

    I put gravel on (2kg) but it just mixed in with the compost! I ordered 5 kg of sand. Will that be enough to cover 30cm by 80cm? Does it have to be a certain type of sand? Thanks for your consistency.

    Adding dirt

    Thanks, I've emptied the tank and used miracle grow potting mix for my substrate! As I was getting my fish out with the net, I thought the tetra was in the net but it was actually slightly to the side of it, so when I tried to get it out, it went ton the side or the net which was plastic! I put...

    Advice for first tank; 5g

    I would recommend guppies! They are pretty, active and colourful! You may be able to fit neons in there but if it is tall, maybe not!

    Could i keep an Oscar in a 25 gal 32" tank? If not are there any other big fish I could keep in that size tank ( preferably with neons but I have a 10 gal that I could move them in maybe)

    Clown Pleco in Tannin-rich Tank?

    Shouldn't be a problem for the clown pleco! My friend kept a clown pleco in a way over-stocked 100l tank that was mirky and the fish were fine! In fact the pleco was one of the ones that survived the longest (8years)! My only worry is that your tank would be too small! I would say 100l would be...
