first casualty I lost one of my tetra today. I was expecting him to possibly die. Since I brought them home from the store, this one hasn't schooled much with the others, often staying on the opposite side of the tank. I also saw that 2 of the other tetras were bullying and nipping at the...

Check this out! my girlfriend is an awesome artist and decided to make the fish her muse! She may be swayed into possibly doing some drawings for other aquarists/enthusiasts! If interested PM me The Community Snail in front of coral Siamese Algae Eater by coral cave Apollo the tank star...

new pics! I have some new pics of the new inhabitants who seem to be getting along swimmingly. I also moved things around a bit for some more cover on the sides, as well as a little more swimming room. My stock list now is as follows: 1 Betta (Apollo) 6 Neon Tetra 2 Siamese Algae Eaters 2...

Not condoning anything, but there is a possibility its a feeder tank. Judging by the metal music playing in the background, I'm sure there is a predator tank somewhere :)

Update #2 After watching the barbs relentless curiosity with Apollo, I decided to take them back. In exchange I purchased 6 tetra, and two black mystery snails which are much more charming than I anticipated. Things seem to be going ok. The Siamese Algae Eaters, against the judgement of some...

*sigh* Even though I'm not really seeing any aggression, I don't want fish in this tank getting any bigger. I suppose I'll be taking the barbs back in the next day or two, and replacing them with tetras. The girl at the pet store could use a stern talking to about her fish knowledge as well...

Well I can move the Betta back to my small Betta tank temporarily, and get a 40 Gal, to get a couple more barbs, I'm just hoping not to get ahead of myself. Also if the barbs get out of hand, or look stressed, I have every intention of taking them back. I felt like the girl at the store was...

Question One thing I do have to ask, is how long should I be running the filter? I currently run it around 12 hours a day, give or take an hour or two. I turn it off at night as well as the light. Should the air stone remain on? I've had it running the whole time, is this preferred? The tank...

update! After two days, everything seems to be evened out, as far as the power struggle goes in their little world. The Betta (Apollo) is not intimidated at all; yesterday, he was often kicking anyone out who dares enter the shelter he was using at that particular time. The Barbs would...

Just introduced 3 Tiger Barbs, and 2 Siamese Algae Eaters to my Betta's 10 GL. tank. Seems that everybody is getting along just fine after a day of feeling each other out. They also seem to enjoy the new coral decoration I got them. My girlfriend and I enjoy watching them figure out the areas...
