I don't think it was low oxygen either because I had just finished changing more than 50% of the water. My other fish are doing fine, I even added 3 Corys to complete stocking my 29Gal last night and I have 8 plants. Thanks again for your replies folks. I have another female and she looks...

Pristellas would set the Neons off nicely. Cory are great too.

Thanks for your reply. Something was wrong and the lady passed away shortly after I posted this thread.

My Red Wag suprised me tonight. I have suspected she was pregnant but could not tell due to her coloration. Tonight however she is displaying a swollen stomach that is block shaped and I can make out the eyes of the fry. Right now she is laying on her side in the breeding net at the surface...

Re: Update .5 on the ammonia is high. All 0's is the goal except for nitrates which should be kept under 40ppm. Goldfish produce a lot of waste and my experience in dealing with that and ammonia is a %50 waterchange every five days to pick up the excess bioload.

Whatever you choose, Wal-Mart has a good deal on kits.

Some LFS like Pets & Pals do carry them. API may also have a site which you can buy them. Take Care!

I think that I may have 4 Males to 2 Females. I suppose that because two of the smaller one's have a less black on their anal fins. I am not sure on the greyish blue as all of them had little yellow color when I bought them but they are starting to sparkle. My PH is at about 7.2, Temp at 82F...

How was the Barb acclimated to the tank. I may be grasping at straws here but it could be osmotic stress.

I added a small school of Lemon Tetras to my 29G last week and I assumed that their nipping at each other was a normal thing. However for the past couple of days they are shooting around the tank really going after each other. Do I need to add a couple more or what to settle things down. I...

It may be that you have a clog somewhere in the Python. I used to run into this problem with my low-tech gravel vac from time to time. You could also try emailing the folks that make the Python for help too. Good Luck!

Thanks! Looking at those pictures and googling a few more I think that I may have two females as the ones I have do not really exhibit any red bands. I am not to sure though. I take it that the Powder Blue and Neon are the same fish? Thanks again!

Hello Folks, I just added a pair of Powder Blue Dwarf Gouramis to my 29Gal. and I am not sure of their sex. I did witness what I think my be breeding behavior last night though when they gently swam around each other over a large rock that I have in the center of my tank. There have also been...

Thanks guys! I think that my cycle is complete. I stocked a school of 6 Lemon Tetras Sunday night and added a pair of Powder Blue Dwarf Gouramis tonight after having no ammonia for the last couple of days. May tank is moderately planted with 4 Swords of different varieties, 3 Water Sprites...

You may want to consider a different filter than the one you are using now, at least one rated for 30Gallons and throw in some more gravel and a couple plants. I was in your boat about two months ago, my son brought some feeders home from a wedding and I just bought a cheap ten gallon starter...

I got through my cycle this past weekend for my 29 Gallon and added 6 Lemon Tetras to my 3 Swordtails. It is amazing how pleasurable this hobby is, I even got attached to my live plants in the process. I can just sit back and watch this tank for hours, even the maintenance is fun. Good luck...

Would Quartz work out okay in a tank?

You may want to fill out the Danios and Tetras to make a proper school for them and work from there. To help out with your research for compatability, Tim's Tropicals has a nice compatability tool and you can find it on the internet. Take Care!

I think that I am closing in on the end of my "Fishy" Cycle in my 29 Gallon. It has really started to look nice with plenty of plants to include one pice of driftwood that looks like a lady's high heel shoe draped in Java Moss. Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 0.5 PH = 7.8 My question is at...

I am currently cycling with 3 Swordtails but have plans to stock 6 Lemon Tetras, 8 Pristellas, 1 Pair of Dwarf Gouramis, and 3 Cories. Take Care!

Thank you all for your replies. Regarding the Gouramis, would adding one more fish to this scheme overload the tank?

I was planning on a male/female pair, does this help to solve their agression?

I have a 29 Gallon setup and have started cycling with 3 Swordtails. I have a stocking scheme and wanted to run this by the forum to make sure that I am not stretching things a bit... 3 Swordtails 8 Pristellas 6 Lemons or Bleeding Heart Tetras 2 Dwarf Gouramis 4 Corys My tank is a...

My son came home with 3 feeder goldfish from his brother's wedding last month. After witnessing the agony of their living in a small glass flower vase for a few days I headed off to the B&I and bought a cheap 10G starter aquarium. After setting it up and receiving the fishes appreciation I was...

I bought the Top Fin 29Gal. from Petsmart this past Sunday and at 430 AM Monday I was up to my ankles in water. I returned mine for a refund and took the money to Wal-Mart to pick up an Regent/Aqua-tech 29Gal for $15 less. The filter was not as nice but other than that a great deal.
