So I have a 29 Gal tank, with some plastic plants, some hiding spots, emperor 280 (50gal filter), stocked with: 1x med gold gourami, 1x med paradise gourami, 5x med/lg tiger barbs. I was thinking to add either one or two siamese algae eaters or a small pleco type fish. The question is: any...

agreeing with all that was written above, that is a pretty broad question, ('kinda like, whats your favorite song, of all time?') each fish seems to have its family characteristics. My wife loves her Angel fish, they seem pretty funny in the way they 'greet' you every time you come by the tank...

The tank is fairly new. I am doing water changes twice a week to get the parameters where they need to be. The blue gourami has plenty of places to hide but the angelfish never bother him. They actually seem to stay completely out of his way, especially when he is "crazy swimming." He does...

I have a blue gourami that has been acting very odd lately. About a week and a half ago, I moved my blue gourami from my 29 gallon tank that has 5 tiger barbs, 1 gold gourami, and 1 paradise gourami to my 47 gallon tank with 6 angelfish. The blue gourami was getting nipped and chased around...

I don't think there is ammonia in the tap water but I live in Florida, the water is not the best, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was. I use filtered water for the tank so I don't use any conditioner. Should I be concerned with the ammonia level? Is there something I should do to slowly...

I did a 50% water change and picked up the API master test kit. I checked the water and the nitrate level (NO2) is 0 and Ammonia is .5. The PH is VERY HIGH at 8.0. I'm not sure if getting API's PH down is be the best solution, if I should do another water change, or if there is something else...

I have a Paradise Gourami that I just learned on Saturday morning is a jumper!!! I am still confused how he jumped out of my 29 gallon tank that has a full cover on it. The only opening is about an inch on each side of the filter. Anyway, I definitely thought he was dead being that he was...

Reefman - thank you for the advice. Caige - thank you for your concern. I definitely do not want any of my fish to die. I have come to like all of them very much. I never knew fish could have so much of a personality!!! Will adding another filter for the time being help in any way?? I have...

Bluerose...thanks for the quick response. It is a bit of a long (but a little funny) story. I originally got a 29 gallon tank as a birthday gift. My husband and I used 5 tiger barbs to cycle the tank. After about 3 weeks of having the tiger barbs, we decided to add 2 angelfish that I...

I am fairly new to aquariums and have some questions. I have a 47 gallon (tall) aquarium. I've had it for only about 2-3 weeks. I have 6 small/mid-sized angelfish and 1 mid-sized blue gourami. I had a 60 gallon Top Fin filter on the aquarium. The water was VERY clear but the filter was very...
