What about a Betta and shrimp? That is what is in my girls room. I was looking for Red Cherry Shrimp, but ended up with Ghost Shrimp. They are cool cause you can see their insides. You can see their food. I am hoping for babies, but I have not seen any yet. And the Betta loves me, cause I...

if your worried about the barbs nipping, what about a school of Corys? I love those little guys. They live on the bottom, but love to swim every where. I have 6 corys, 8 neons tetra, 5 guppies and an albino bristle nose pleco in my 29 g tank.

I let my girls name them. The youngest named the guppies. Lenny, Tuck, Ming Ming, Jr and Poke a Dots. Sucker is our albino bristle nose. And they have Fred, the beta. I think some of the corys are also named. Like Sam, Carley and some names from iCarley.

I have 2 albino, 2 green and 2 peppered corys. they are great little fish.

I do give Sucker the wafers, but the Corys love them. They all get blanched peas (put them in water, nuke for about a min) and cucumber. They love the peas and are starting to like the cucumber. I shell and mush up the peas, but leave the skin on the cucumber medallions.

I found mine easy to make. I went to a craft store and got nylon thread and then some Plastic Canvas. The plastic canvas was about $0.50 each. Then I just stitched up 3 sides, put the moss in and then did the last side. It was really easy to do.

The bettas idea sound cool. I made a java moss wall. You could put that against the divider on both sides and it would help hide the other side.

I use a sponge. I read her that you could use them. I went to home depot and got one that is made for a pond filter. I cut it down to the size I needed for my tanks. You only need to get new ones if the old one is destroyed. I clean it when I clean my cycled tank. I just dump out the old...

I put a little water and cucumber or peas in a bowl for about a min and then the cucumber I slide under the driftwood. That keeps it down. They did not eat it much the first time, but I do it about once a week and they eat more each time.

Sucker is albino and she hides some times. But she is out a lot. I got her some of the wafers, but everyone else seems to like them better. And she loves cucumbers, too.

I have fancy guppies and neons in mine and a wonderful school of Corys

I feed everyone peas this morning. The shrimp were fighting over it and were turning green when they were eating. It was crazy.

Mine get new life pellets, peas, cucumber and they love my bristlenose's wafers.

I have fake rock and a volcano bubbler. Then in the middle is a piece of drift wood. on one side is a java moss wall, that I made. It is growing slowly/ And then lots of live plants. In the 10 g, my kids got to decorate it. It has 2 fake rocks and a fake rock steps. several plants and...

I started from scratch for my big tank. yes, it takes time. And is really slow. Did you read the cycling guide? Mine followed what it said to do. I used this one http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/fishless-cycling-for-dummies-103339.html and this one...

Yes, mine loves cucumber. Took the corys several tries to eat the cucumber. I also gave them pees and they love them. I need give them some tonight.

Mine is the same way. I use prime when I change the water and it has been working. But, I did a fish less cycle first. Not sure how it would work with a fish in cycle. But I would get the prime and use that

I cleaned out the filter in the left over changing water on Thur. He seems to be a little better. I am having my DH get some peas when he comes home. Fireball seems to be resting and staying away from the others. And all the others are playing fine.

Hear is the best picture I can get The white behind him is the java moss wall. He can easily swim out, but is hiding there.

Ok, He is up at the top hiding from the others. Belly looks full, but I did not feed them this morning. (I feed them omega one pellets.) I checked the water yesterday and Ammonia was a little high and NO3, so I did a 40 % water change. he looked better last night, but then back at the top...

I just got mine a 10 g tank. I had to wait for it to cycle. And then I am getting some Red Cherry Shrimp to put in and then adding our Betta last. I feed him 2 of the omega one betta pellets or 2 brine shrimp every day. I rotate between the 2. I am going to get some frozen peas at the store...

Wow, you can get an instant cycle with old filter material. I have been waiting on Fred's 10 g to cycle and since my 29 g was done, I took out part of the filter. I took it over to his new tank and put it in this morning. Tested tonight and cycle is done. Adjusted the temp, added a little...

I just want to say thanks. Because of ya'll, I did a fishless cycle. Once it was done, I started adding fish. I am 2/3 done with that. And none have died. My water numbers are great every time I check them. And with out ya'll I would have never know about the corys. I love those little...

I feed mine once a day. Rotating the Betta pellets and shrimp. I give 2 pellets or shrimp each morning. Fred knows when I come in and starts swimming around and showing off his crown tail. I just use tap water for him and then adding water conditioner. I have a 2 g tank for him, so I take...

I am wanting to make sure I am doing this right. Right now, they are floating in the tank with out the light. I was going to leave them till after dinner. Then what do I do? I was reading about a drip method? How do I do that?
