Goldfish are very filthy fish ( despite their pretty name). You'd want a big space to help fight the waste they produce.

Thank you. :)

It's been about 4 weeks this coming tuesday that I have been cycling my tank. I am cycling with fish. Today I woke to a cloudy tank. I'll break down some info so maybe a solution can be found. I have 4 fish ( Not added all at once.) 2 Zebra danios ( my starter fish) and 2 juli cory cats...

That's what everyone is telling me. Gouramis must rule. I'll have to go get one after my tank is through cycling. :D So I think that's set then for what is going to be in my tank. 4 Zebra danios 3 cory cats 1 Dwarf Gourami. I have black gravel and I hope to use other plants and...

I'm running out of room in my tank. I was planning on just doing one schooling fish, bottom and one center fish. What are those tetras like though?

What got me into fish was every time I went to the pet store I would go into the fish section to see the fish. I always wanted to keep fish. I have a zoo at home but I just wanted to get into fish. So I got this betta. He lives in this gallon set up. I got him a female lady friend but... it was...

Well I was bad today. I ended up getting two Juli corys. It was love a first sight. I know I should've waited... but I adjusted for an ammonia spike. I tested after an hour of putting the corys in and nailed that ammonia spike. I'll just keep on testing my water religiously the next couple of...

***Update 7/01 Ammonia .50ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 0ppm 7/02 Ammonia .50ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 0 ppm

6/30 .50 ppm of ammonia 0 ppm nitrite 0 ppm nitrate Did a 25% change.

Such beautiful aquariums! :)

You two have been great in giving me your experiences. It's really helping me along with my tank. I love having two different voices. Thank you. =)

That was my reasoning in getting the Zebras. I knew they'd could handle it plus I like them and am going to have those in my tank.

I don't think large changes are either. The bacteria is on the sides of the tank and filter and gravel. I'm sure I'll get nitrite soon.

I've been 50% because I was worried about the fish's stress level. But if you think 25% would be ok too.. your logic makes sense to me. I was doing 25% before.

Yeah bettas are a hit and miss. It all depends on the kind of personality. I have a betta that just can't stand anyone in his territory, including me. He's mr. grumpy gills in a nut shell. As for me I'm doing something unconventional for my 10 gallon only because of my circumstances and lack...
