10 Bloodfin Tetras (the yoyo loach chased 2 of them around so much they jumped out a small gap in my tank and died on my floor while I was at work -_-) 6 Peppered Cories 1 yo-yo loach (his friend was an and was going to return him to store for a different one but he decided to off himself...

Rescaped P:

The tank P:

everything i've read about brown algae/diatoms says that it's quite popular in new aquariums and as parameters stabalize it goes away on it's own, it's usually due to high nitrates (even though my readings aren't above average, my plants are just starting to settle in so i imagine that for...

So a small update: I finally finished fully stocking the tank. Part of me wants a focal fish, but I don't want a betta (i mean I do but not in this tank, not with these tetras and 2 filters lol) so idk. The tank now has 12 Bloodfin tetras, 6 Peppered corys, and 4 nerite snails. Everyone is...

well the store didn't have khuli loaches (really wanted to try em) or chili rasboras, which i was going to switch out for the bloodfins, BUUUUTTT a'las, they had neither. So went with my original stock, Got some bloodfins, all they had (8) and all of their peppered cories (6). No pleco (the...

i'd up the cory count to at LEAST 6. guppies and platies are live bearers, So be prepared for them to breed like rabbits. I'm not to knowledgeable about gouramis, but I've always been told their real big meanies. I think Honey Gourami's though are some of the more docile ones, but remember...

Yeah. All my plants are from: Welcome to Planted Aquariums Central - Live Aquarium Plants Plants always came in healthy lookin'. They do insulate their packaging with fiberglass insulation stuff so if you're allergic to that be very careful, but their plants are wonderful! Great prices too! I...

OKAY HERE IT IS!!! Plants in. They're all decently easy plants to keep, not very demanding, but with the dosing of ferts, co2, and my expensive LED light I'd like to think they'll flourish. I bought all rooted plants this time instead of clippings, as I read they don't melt back very easily if...

Tank should be 100% done by next week. I've deciding to rework the plants a bit in my tank, I want to get rid of the brazilian pennywort and actually replace it with a dwarf pennywort, as I want to apply moss ontop of my rock 'cave' and i fear the large pennywort will end up blocking too much...

ty. I'm so relieved to finally have this done. Never had such a huge issue with cycling a tank before omg haha

-sighs- so nice to see this... you have no idea @_@ Ganna let this run till friday when I get paid, if everything still checks out, I'll go to my LFS and give them my list of fish lol

Well, gravel came in today, so here we are re-scaped. Made a little cave with the rocks this time around. 1 and only 1 piece of driftwood. We'll see how it goes @_@

Probably the Ornate Bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis) most likely.

Okay so this is something that's been buzzin' around my head for awhile and I'm genuinely curious about these answers. Normally when I start thinking about what kind of fish I want and what can go in with them, I look them all up in different tabs/windows and compare things such as where they...
