    Help... total newbie, worried about tetras and molleys

    I cycled my 10 gallon with five neon tetras and 2 honey gouramis and Bio-Spira... Two months later they are totally happy with some more friends that I recently added like cories, shrimp, a frog and cherry barbs! So you should try and get some Bio-Spira. Good luck!

    Food for Java Fern??

    My LFS guy told me that I would need to put a liquid plant feed into my 10 gallon tank to feed my very little Java Fern. Is this true? I have never heard of such a thing!

    Danios???

    Thanks for the responses! I went to the store and bought 2 cherry barbs! My LFS guy (who I think I trust) persuaded me away from the danios due to overcrowding and aggressiveness. I did buy a frog and he told me to feed the frog at night about an hour after I put out the lights so the other...

    Danios???

    I am looking for some more exciting fish for my tank. I have a ten gallon tropical tank with a HOB filter. I have four neon tetras, one honey gourami, 2 skunk cories and two algae eating shrimp (I think they are called amano shrimp or something). Anyhoo...I heard danios are fun and exciting...

    Gourami with Skin Disease???

    It will be difficult for me to get a picture. It looks like the scales are turning black along the lateral line (although on such a small fish I am not exactly sure where the lateral line runs). It starts at his gills and runs all the way through his tail. There have been no behavioral...

    Gourami with Skin Disease???

    I have a Honey Gourami with a black line running down its body (it looks like it is running down its lateral line). Is this some sort of skin disease? He is with 3 neon tetras in a 10 gallon tank with a HOB. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    What new fish should I get?????

    I have had my three neons for about a month now and they seem to be fine (knock on wood!). Maybe the west coast stock is healthier??? Cool Bamboo shrimp!! Is he/she expensive? Is he/she easy to take care of?

    What new fish should I get?????

    Thanks for all the help. I think I might go with a few cories and then think about the shrimp. I will probably add to my tetra count too. I started off with four but one died during my cycling. Thanks again! :D

    Water Changes for a New Tank

    Yes, I am replying to my own post. I have just been exploring this forum more and I have discovered that UGFs are not recommended. I am on a budget and have no plans for live plants any time soon. Are they really that bad???? Thanks!

    Water Changes for a New Tank

    I have done quite a bit of research and have decided to buy a 10 gal (biggest I can get-very small apartment) with UGF and a powerhead. I want to cycle with a few neon tetras. Can someone tell me how often I should be doing water changes while my tank is cycling? Also, (this is a dumb...

    Pre buy/setup filter questions?

    I would like to know what people suggest for a filtration system for me. I want a 30g tank (that is as big as I can go), fish only (maybe inverts in the far future). My idea is a canister filter and a protein skimmer and maybe live sand??? Please write and give me all of your opinions. I...
