I'm back :) Well that tank setup I had before went great for 2 1/2 years but then it all started to crash down on me back in November. I had in that 29 long tank 12 Black Neons 8 Serpae Tetras (I think that's what they're called) 1 Oto cat 1 Cory (large) So a few at a time would die out on me...

Thanks guys :) I also recently purchased some walmart ($6) timers for my aquarium lights so they can turn on at 3pm and turn off at 10pm. Seven hours on should be ok with fake plants. Maybe in a few weeks or more, I'll purchase some more fishies :) And the tank is a bit cloudy right now, been...

I did the same but I told my wife I was getting the car an oil change and I came back with 4 more black neons and 3 rams, oops :) Oh and did get an oil change done. hehe

Thanks taylorodw, yours looks great too! I added 4 more Black Neon Tetras and 3 Bolavian Rams which I was finally was able to find in my region. I had tried both Big Al's (East & West), then tried Petsmart not far from Big Al's, nothing. Then I found them at another Petsmart a little further...

Thanks for the info meegosh. Those black neons are finally eating after doing some research they prefer having their flakes crushed in tiny pieces (mouth size) instead of them trying to rip apart a piece from a bigger piece. So that's resolved :) Now to add some more fish in there, been...

Well I went with the Tetras (Black Neons) 8 of them to start off. I tried feeding them lastnight for the first time and only maybe one or two ate some Flake Food, now should I be concerned? Should I try another type of Flake Food or just something else? These guys look scared everytime I go...

Well it looks like I might have decided on what to get but first I need to know this (stupid) question. If I get livebearers, will I eventually get frys? I'm asking this because I was thinking of getting a Dwarf Gourami or a Pearl with some Guppies and maybe another kind as well. So I don't...

Hello everyone, I wondering what you would recommend to put in this tank (fish wise). It's all setup to go, cycled. I've put in fake plants because I didn't know what to put for the type of live plants and also because some fish may uproot them. So to not worry about this I went with those...

Hi all, it's been since I last posted here. I've just purchased a 29 gallon tank (paid $25 for it, used) to upgrade from the 10g I have, but in the 10g, I have a Male Betta which I would like to move him there once my setup is complete. I still need a stand, cover, etc... I can't really keep...

Thanks for all your input, maybe the Neon's won't mind much since lately they don't eat much and I only feed once a day but the Beta, he's always hungry but he's not fat which is good. I was also wondering if I leave for week which will happen later this summer, but I'll be back in town every...

Hello all, I have 2 tanks, one with Neons with a bottom cleaner (forgot his name, doh! )and the other just one Beta. In a few weeks from now I'll need to leave for the weekend and I won't be able to feed my fish and I also have nobody to watch/feed them while I'm away. Will they be ok if...

Well thanks for all your help! Very appreciated. :) My cloudy water is now gone since Friday. Yay! BUT now my Brother-in-law bought 2 goldfishs for my kids without asking if it was ok, I was kind of wondering why he was so interested in my aquarium :( There goes my plan for my community...

Ok :) Now about the raw shrimp, this may sound a stupid but where do I get the raw shrimp from? a LFS, the Supermarket (those shrimps you find in packages to eat, I don't eat shrimp), etc..? And I assume you put this in a big with holes in it? Any clear plastic bag? Also how long should I...

Ok first off, I'm sorry if I upseted a few of you about the goldfish. Yes this wasn't right and I apologize. And you seem all correct that it wasn't quite ready yet because when I woke up this morning it had passed away :( FYI, I did forget to mentioned before that I had added some Ammonia...

Well after a few tests, my Ammonia is now at 0ppm! And my Nitrite and Nitrate are also 0ppm, is my cycle done? well my tank is still cloudy!!! So I went out to the LFS and bought a sm comet goldfish, to try it out. I know I know, it's a bit cruel to use the goldfish for this but for 0.17 is...

Ok I just tested my ammonia and it's between .25 to .50. So I decided to do a 20% water change to try to remove some of the cloudiness and it may have worked. But now I broke my airstone, no more bubbles :( Tank looks like is getting better, I'll leave it be for another day and test...

Even if there's no fish in the tank right now? I've also removed one the decorations since it's losing it's colors (paint coming off it).

Thanks for the info. Still haven't decided on what to put in yet because my concern right now is still the cloudy water. It's been about 2 days now with this, I'm starting to think maybe one of my old decoration is done for and it's affecting the whole tank. I did clean all the decors with hot...

I am looking for some advice on what I should put in my tank. The tank is currently going through the cycle and it's been over 48hrs now without any fish in it. It's a little cloudy right now but I just added an airstone/pump today so I'm hoping this will help a bit. After my cycle is...

Hi all, This is my second attempt with my little 10 gallon. About a year ago I had tried a few different types of fish for my freshwater aquarium but just didn't have the time to take care of them and I was having too many problems. I had tried putting some Neon Tetras (6 of them) and some...
