I am looking to upgrade to a t5 fixture from zoo med, but it only comes in 24 inch. Can I still use it?

You could go with an african river theme, with African butterfly fish, leopard Ctenopoma, kribs, synodontis, maybe a small bichir, and an African brown knife. If you go bigger, you could get a nice school of Congo tetras.

nice tank! and nice rubber lip plec, I have one that is such a character. he claimed a cave for himself, and he will chase avay my larger fish again and again. He also steals their food. Just remember they like slightly cooler temps, I keep mine at 75

it varies, but in general, it is $20 to $50,(worth spendiing more for live arrival garuantee) but if you look long enough, you can find the folks with free shipping.

for buying shrimp, use aquabid. There are tons of sellers who will sell you shrimp for great prices, and when they ship with java moss, you usually end up with lots of extra shrimplets who hitched a ride. Got 20 crs for 30$ there

@jetajockey thanks for the heads-up on feeding, do you think they would eat frozen bloodworms? @FreshwaterTropical ehhhhh I'm kinda turned off to them since I have to find snails

congo tetras!

I originally had my low-tech planted tank set up with a male betta, but while at a store I saw some dwarf puffers that I had to get. I went over to petco, bought a new 5 gallon with all the stuff for my betta, and 4 weeks later I was done cycling and ready to get the puffers when I showed up at...

Maybe if you are getting a small one, start with a 15-20 gallon tank. My cteno is such a slow grower. He has been well fed and happy, but in my 20 gallon, he only grew an inch and a half in 6 months. If you get them small, they would be perfectly happy in a 20 gallon for up to two years. Mine is...

I have a densely planted 10 gallon tank that I would like to have dwarf puffers in. However, I am unsure of how many I can get without fighting, and what sex. Also, are there any tank mates I could keep?

I am getting a 75 gallon fish tank with filter, heater, gravel, stand, hood, and lights off of craigslist for 125$!!!!!! I know that there will be 1 senegal bichir, but I am torn on what to put with him:banghead::facepalm::confused:. I would like a few larger fish to go with him. I would like to...

where can I find shrimp, and if I cant, anybody have other ideas

sorry, but you are overstocked already, the kissing gourami needs at least 55 gallons to live happily, defenitely get rid of that pleco he needs 100+ gallons, and your red tail shark would do better in 55 gallons. However, if you remove the gourami and the pleco, then the tetras would be okay...

sorry, no cories, I have no way of acquiring any of the pygmy cories, and I dont have a sand substrate anyway

how big is this tank? i wouldn't put any more mollies in the tank, they are fish that do better in brackish water

it is a male betta

alright thanks anyway

I have a well planted 10 gallon tank with a lone betta. I would like some tankmates that are interesting, but dont steal the show from the betta. Any ideas?

maybe get some leopard ctenopomas, african brown knife fish, elephant nose,african butterfly fish, and bichir and do an african oddball tank. You could use a bunch of anubias, driftwood, and rock. If you are looking for a more easy to care for fish than the knife and elephant nose, you could get...

I have a well planted 10 gallon tank with one male delta tail betta. I have been looking at different tankmates and I like the look of peacock gudgeons. Are they compatible with bettas?

Butterfly fish, the odd looking fish who stays at the surface

Thanks, but I am more worried about whether the cichlids will be territorial.

I have grown anubias in extremely low light, that is what I would reccomend

I have two juvenile (2 inch) Ctenopoma acutirostre in my 29 gallon tank. I was planning on a jewel cichlid and a kribensis cichlid for tank mates. Would the jewel or kribensis bully the leaf fish. Also, could I add an African butterfly fish?

I have a 29 gallon tank with an african brown knife fish. It has two large rock caves, the syno has picked one and the knife has the other.
