Otocinclus! They are cute, and don't get real big either.

Well I do not want any babies in my tank, haha, so no female guppies for him.

That's probably it then, I have no other guppies. Haha, horny little guy.

Haha he sure is a live wire! Be ready for him, Dottie!

I LOVE having my tank on my desk. Sometimes while I'm working I look up and stare off completely watching them swim around. Plus, I don't need a desk lamp! WOO!

I did the same thing you did, out of ignorance of fish keeping. It took a few weeks after for my smaller, 8 gallon tank, to cycle and then become clear. I just kept doing 25% water changes and checking the levels of everything. I did have to replace my bubble wand with an airstone because the...

Okay, so I've checked my water for the past week, and all stats are normal. My filter is running. I have a heater and also a bubble wand. My tank is still not that mature, and I don't want to partially change the water yet.. but there are little white particles floating everywhere! Can anyone...

Two Zebra Danios, Two Sunset Dwarf Platys, and Two or three Fancy Guppies. They are really active, beautifully colored, and very fun to watch! An Oto Cat would be good, too!
