    Tips for neon tetras??

    I was originally going to buy neon tetras for my 20 gallon tank but ended up buying danios instead. I am hoping to get neons in the future but have heard some discouraging things about them such as they die easily since they are so mass produced due to being so popular. I also read that they...

    White specks on glass

My tap water pH which i texted today was 7.6 as well which i don't think will change. I don't want to try chemicals, I'm just trying to do...

    Im stocking my 20 gallon soon and need some advice on what fish to put in there. I want dwarf gouramis and albino cory catfish for sure.

    Stocking 20 Gallon

    I think that would look nice, I don't want too many schooling fish though. I was originally going to get neon tetras, albino catfish, and a few mollies but i figured that the mollies would eat the tetras
