Really? That many rasboras? That's awesome I didn't realize you could put that many in a 10 gallon 😮

I was thinking about shrimp but I've had TERRIBLE luck with shrimp and they're pretty expensive at my LFS. How many chili rasbora would be a good amount without over stocking? Or if you had any shrimp tips lol. I used to have them but after about a week they would vanish or would have a lot of...

Yeah I used quite a bit of filter media and gravel from my established tank so I figured that's why I noticed it cycling rather quickly. As for stocking I'm not quite sure yet. Any suggestions? I've heard people say chili rasboras were a good option because they stay rather small. All of my...

Wow I thought I had a pretty decent grasp on cycling. That's extremely helpful! What kind of fish would you suggest for a fish in cycle? Or maybe I should just use a different form of ammonia and finish the cycle without fish?

I've used it before I just didn't have any on me as it's been so long since I've cycled a tank. As for a fish in cycle I've never tried it before because I was always afraid of harming the fish. What's the safest way to go about that?

I've been adding ammonia in the way of fish food

Theoretically how fast can a tank cycle? I was gifted a small 10 gallon tank for my birthday and loaded it with plants from an established tank from my LFS. I also took gravel out of my established tank to put into my sponge filter. As of today I had a nitrite reading of 5.0ppm and 0 for ammonia...

Thanks for the advice everyone! So far tonight no lip locking or bumping. They have been swimming around a bit erratically together and pecking at plants and driftwood since I've turned the lights off. I'm not sure if this is normal but at least it doesn't seem like aggression anymore

That makes sense. I've had them for about 5-6 months now. They're usually pretty docile with each other, even at feeding time which surprised me

They've been together since I've purchased them and I've never seen them do this before. I assume it could be because they've grown quite a bit from when I've gotten them but they've been doing this for a few days and so far no injuries. Then in the mornings they carry on like usual and stick...

Interesting I was worried they were two males fighting as I didn't have another tank ready to separate them if needed set up yet. I guess that explains why my honey gouramis have been hanging out in a different part of the tank lately

This has happened every night for the last few days. No fin tearing or injuries so far. It's just strange that they only act like this at night and during the day they're very docile and typically just float around with each other. No aggression towards any of the other fish in the tank either.

I have 2 angelfish that I bought from my LFS. I bought them both from the same tank when they were quite young. The owner said they were too young to sex but as they got bigger it seemed like a male and female. The whole time I've had them in the tank they always swim together and they're never...
