Well I can see that the cardinal can get big. Why no on the basslet? Every website I've seen lists it as peaceful. If I create enough caves/overhangs it should be okay? Add the basslet last to prevent aggression...?

I suppose it's something to do more research into! I know they can be semi-territorial, and it's better to get one that's a lot smaller than the other so they actually pair instead of just fight as females.I was watching a bunch of 29g coralife biocube videos earlier and most people seem to have...

Looking (and budgeting) into possibly starting a sw tank! I'll probably be keeping it FOWLR for a year-ish to get comfortable as I've never kept a sw tank before. (But I do have a year of fw experience). I'm looking at getting a 29g biocube with protein skimmer. As far as stocking, I'm looking...

Too lazy to get a picture at the moment but my 20g long is medium planted, rocks and driftwood, fluval c2 filter and a large sponge filter rated for 20g. Kept at 74F and established since this January. Current stock: x8 CPDs x4 corydoras habrosus (was once 9 or 10, details below) x1 marble...

Fine as in okay to add? I did find some videos that says they're top level schooling fish, yay! Think I could get away with 8 or should I keep it at 7 for a small school?

Hi all, here's a picture of my tank for reference: http://i.imgur.com/U2MaD9N.jpg It's a 20g long with a fluval c2 filter and a large sponge filter rated for 20g. I'd say it's medium-planted, but I am planning on a adding a tad bit more (going to attempt a carpet of staurogyne!) Here's my...

Well, about a week or so (don't actually remember the day) I had added a small ceramic cichlid cave and small one or two inch pieces of Indian almond leaf to the tank. I only added two pieces of the IAL, hopefully to counterbalance the crushed coral I've had to put in my tank because my local...

Hi all, This one kinda has me at a loss. There are 8 CPDs and 10 dainty cories in my 20g long kept at 75F with 2 filters (fluval c2 and a sponge filter). It had primarily just been the dainty cories (usually only one at a time) that would swim strangely, then do "backflips" to scratch...

20g long, medium planted with driftwood, rocks and 2 hidey caves. My filters are a Fluval c2 (rated up to 30g) and a large sponge filter (rated up to 20g). Temp is about 75F right now, but can/will bump it up to 76 with the addition of the gouramis. I know my stocking might seem a little...

Hello! Since I have CPDs and corydoras habrosus and am looking to get one or two badis badis (blue chameleon fish) I figure some very small live foods in addition to their normal frozen foods (bbs, cyclops, daphnia) would make them happier and healthier--especially so since badis badis are...

Hmm true! Most online sources I see says chilis' range is 4-7 for pH. I've heard zebra danios are super active, are glowlights the same? The other user commented that they felt the danios would be too active for feeding the badis. I do have a glass pipette I could use for targeted feeding, it...

Okay, reworked the stock a little. Someone in another forum warned me that danios might be too booster for the badis and it having difficultly eating due to that. Hopefully this should be good! I'll have to keep an eye on the pH before I add anything though. The crushed coral from my...

Yeah I like the blue color better too :p they have essentially the same care requirements so that's not much of an issue. ohh, the c2 is like an upgraded aquaclear since fluval owns them now. I have a u2 or u3 (can't remember which) in my 29 and it's fine too! I need to work on cleaning that...

The fluval or the sponge? Haha, I love the c2, though I kinda wish I had just bit the bullet and bought the c3 instead :p I guess I don't have any issues with filtration, but the more the merrier, right?? Seeing as I can just check the wet spot's stock (at least for the most part) online, I...

Well, I have 2 filters now. I'm running one fluval c2 (rated 10-30 gallons) and a big sponge filter with 2 sponges, rated for 20 gallons. It's the kind that has the two sponges where you can move its "arms". I'll have to look as far as flow requirements because I have some salvinia that grows...
