I was so excited to add 12 ghost shrimp to my 100gall today...I netted them into the tank, they scattered and my tetras anhialated about half of them. I mean full on attacked. I think about 4 or 6 survived and have found hiding spots, but I'm guessing their days are numbered....even though I...

Oh and I forgot to add I really want 5 or 6 panda Cory's for the bottom as well

Every web site I read to research a fish before I buy, says something different! Figured I would ask here for some first hand experience help. I am stocking my 100g tank. Currently I have 8 black neons, 8 red n blue columbians, 5 red eye and 3 serpa tetras. As of tomorrow the red eye school will...

That's what I'm beginning to think. I bought them exactly a week ago. All the others seem to be fine...fingers crossed it remains that way

Whoops, I meant 10. Sorry, I am posting from my tablet with my infant in the other arm.

Bad news, within 2 hours, he died. I was using liquid drop test. Ammonia 0, nitrate 0, nitrite 0.

alright, maybe ill get brave and try it! :)

I was thinking i read somewhere that the kissing get too big to be with the tetras, such as the tetras will become kissing food....is that untrue? I would love to have a pair of kissing goramis as my centerpiece fish!

I woke up this am to one of my red eyes bloated and kind of bobbing along in the water. He tries to swim for a moment then floats in every direction but forward. A few of his scales look like they are peeling maybe...everyone else in the tank is doing great. Water tests perfect. Im going to...

I have a 10g with neons and glolite tetras, a 20g with platys, mollies and a pair of albino corys, and I just started stocking my 100g, so far a school of red eyes, school of columbians, school of black neons and then 3 each of serpae tetras and blue longfin danios. (The two groups of 3 were...

Hi, I'm in phx and LOVE phoenix tropical fish! I have gotten all my freshwater fish there. The livestock is young and hearty and the prices are great.

The red and blues are also knows as red and blue Columbian tetra. I'm going to look into the German blue rams, thanks for the suggestion

Thank you for the replies. The more I read about the balas, I have decided they definately are not the best way to go, although some sites say they will be fine in anything over a 75...and I originally thought the tetras needed 8-12 but the one fish store I went to, not a chain store, said 4...

Hi, I've been a long time Lurker, but this is my first post. I currently have a 10, 20, and 100 gal freshwater tanks. I'm trying to stock my newly cycled 100g. Currently I have in it 4 black neon tetra, 4 Serpa tetra, 4 red eye tetra, 4 red n blue tetra, and 4 long fin blue danios. My final goal...
