    Kribs & Tiger Barbs?

    Thank all of you so much for your help today!! :) I think I'll just seriously look into trading my 20g tall for a 20g long locally or possibly a 29g. Seems easier just to get a different aquarium and this way I can still get some Barbs with the Kribs. :) Any idea if the Kribs will munch on...

    Kribs & Tiger Barbs?

    Any other suggestions? :) I love Zebra Danio's but I always seem to end up with them in my tank and I was trying to avoid them if I can. Thank you again for all of your time & help today!!

    Kribs & Tiger Barbs?

    That's pretty ironic about the Tiger Barbs; I picked them because they're a top-mid level fish that's spunky, colorful, active & fun. I thought they'd be a really good tank mate for the Kribs. Just didn't know they need room like they do! I always prefer color when possible, so the 5 Banded...

    Kribs & Tiger Barbs?

    Just trying to understand your reasoning here. May need to trade my tank & stand for the long version for I can have enough room! :) I successfully kept a breeding pair of Angels in this tank without any other tank mates. The Angel's I understand being alone together but not the Krib's. The...

    Kribs & Tiger Barbs?

    Thanks for the info!! Would 5 Tiger Barbs work, maybe? If not, any suggestions on some sort of dither fish that could handle the Kribs Dr Heckle & Mr Hyde personalities? I always liked the Tiger's frisky but non lethal behavior & their color!

    Kribs & Tiger Barbs?

    Why is a 20g too small for only 10 Tiger Barbs? 20g tall tank foot print too small for 1 PR of Kribs? What's the difference in the foot print size between the tall & long?

    Kribs & Tiger Barbs?

    I have an empty 20g tall that needs fish!! :) Am planning on this being a very low tech planted tank & as far as stocking goes I'd like 1 Pr Kribs, 8-10 Tiger Barbs & some Nerites & Ghost Shrimp. Am thinking Barbs could handle a breeding pr of Kribs so that takes care of top, mid & bottom...

    Sunset Gourami Question

    Always use a mixture of flake food & shrimp pellets. Will switch out pellets for algae wafers and agg frozen brine shrimp as well.

    Sunset Gourami Question

    Hadn't given that much thought! I know the Pigmy Cory will school and is more mid level but I was thinking they also scavenged around like they're cousins as well. Don't think I'll add the male Sunsets after all; I value my peaceful tank, its so nice that no one fights or is aggressively...

    Sunset Gourami Question

    I plan to add more Corie's but my Danio is the last one from his group (he's an old man now) & I want to try a different combo of fish. I thought it would be cool to have 2 different harems in the tank that's why I added the Gouramis. Big personalties but little color & totally different from my...

    Sunset Gourami Question

    I am trying to build my stock back up currently. Am considering adding the Gourami males due to their color. Not too sure if I want any fish breeding at this point, so I'm in research mode!! Current stock: 5-6 Kuhli Loach (bio load 2=1), 2 Cory, 5 Neons, 1 Endler male, 2 Guppy males, 1 LF...

    Tankmates

    Sword tails would work great as well. By watching your fish you can learn their different personalties and stop issues before they get bad. :)

    Tankmates

    You could try some Mollies, they will provide fresh fry/food for your Angels and you won't ever need to worry about over population issues. FYI: Your eventually going to have issues with this grouping of fish. :( When your Angels mature and start breeding be prepared for fishy casualties...

    Sunset Gourami Question

    Hey Everyone, Recently added 3 female Sunset Gourami to my planted 40g breeder community tank. Chose this variety since its the smallest of the Gourami family and the most docile of the bunch. :) Not interested in the "dwarfs" since they do not tend to be as docile. My question is, will 2...

    Ich Treatment Double Check

    Sometimes a fish will just disapear. One day I was moving something around and when I picked it up I felt something slimy on the back. Came to find out one of the fish had died and I hadn't realized it. Have you ever noticed a piece of uneaten food will have a white looking growth around it...

    Ich Treatment Double Check

    I've only had an aquarium with ich one other time. I know a fish can have ich in its gills or mouth and not have any visable spots or both inside & out. A lot depends on the health of the individual fish & how soon you start treatment. It doesn't sound good that he was swimming oddly and he...

    Ich Treatment Double Check

    It's taking me over 48 hrs to raise the temp on my aquarium and I'm still raising it. I am working over the week end so the ich issue has bad timing!! I always question my heater as to if its keeping the correct temp accurately or not; need the digital kind for I won't question the readings I...

    Ich Treatment Double Check

    FYI: The temp should only be raised 1 degree at a time to reach your temp goal with a couple hours in between each raised temp degree. If done too quickly you will loose fish. Not sure if your aware of this or not. :) Good luck!! I'm dealing with the Ichy stuff myself. :(

    Ich related questions-Please Help!!!

    Just found Ich on one of my new fish! Had Ich for the first time last year so I'm somewhat familiar about the various treatments but I'm especially worried about my plants, snails, Kuhli's & female Betta harem in this tank during treatment. Of course I need to start treating ASAP but should I...

    Stupid question dont beat me up

    Really like your original set up for Marshall!! Yes, it would be best to have seperate aquariums for these two fish, they may get along now but long term would be a different story. Also, you might want to consider getting a few Kuhli Loach or Cories for Marshalls tank. They would make a nice...
