I've got 5 Cobra Endler Guppies and have had them for about a week now. Yesterday morning I noticed one of them lying on the bottom of my aquarium. I thought it was going to be another 'neon tetra' episode like I had 2 weeks ago when each neon rested on the bottom for an hour or so, started...

I've heard people here talk about these but haven't seen them around my area until today...boy are they small. Would these make good fish to keep in a 5 gallon tank? If so, how many could I keep? Could I leave my 1 remaining neon tetra with them? Would shrimp or pygmy corys be ok with them...

I'm looking for something to help keep my cycled 5 gallon aquarium clean, and be intereting to watch. I currently only have 1 neon in the tank (other 5 died from putting too many in at one time) but plan to either put 3 male guppies (leaning this way) or a betta in the tank (relocating the...

What is an excellent 'bottom cleaner' that is pretty active? (info added) This will be for a 5 gallon aquarium. Thanks. TripleB67

I've gone back and forth what seems like a thousand times about what type of fish to put in my Marineland Eclipse 5 gallon corner tank. Based on what's available locally it seems to come down to either Guppies (probably 2, maybe 3) or a Betta. I really like the looks of Cherry Shrimp (even...

When my 5 gallon tank has spent some time with fish in it and is completely cycled, I'm thinking of putting male guppies in the tank. I had originally decided to go with Neon Tetras, but I added too many at one time and 5 out of the 6 died within 9 hours. The 6th one is doing great but in the...

After my problem with neon tetras (see story below), I'm looking for something else to put in our 5 gallon tank. Here are my thoughts as to what put in the 5 gallon tank, after it is completely cycled. For the fish I'm thinking either: 1) a couple of male guppies; how many would be comfortable...

I have a 5 gallon aquarium that I'm currently trying to decided what to put in it. I'm going to choose something from the following list: Neon Tetras, Julii Cory Catfish, Male Guppies, Cherry Shrimp, Betta For which of those would I need a heater? I have a heater made for a 5 gallon...

After going to all the places locally that have freshwater fish, here are the only ones I like the looks of and are available. They will be going in a 5 gallon tank. Harlequin Rasboras Bleeding Heart Tetras Neon Tetras Tiger Barbs Julii Cory Cats Glo Light Tetras Dwarf Gourami Ghost Shrimp...

Obviously from the information you gave me in my last post (I greatly appreciate your help), my original idea of a Dwarf Gourami and 3 Cory Cats in a 5 gallon tank wouldn't be a healthy aquarium. So I'm hoping you can help me find fish that would be healthy in a 5 gallon aquarium. The only...

I have (or soon will have) a 5 gallon aquarium that I'm going to be putting in our kitchen. I would have preferred to go up to at least a 10 gallon aquarium but my wife vetoed that idea and it would have probably looked too large for the space I'm needing to put it anyway. So, in that 5 gallon...

I'm getting a single Dwarf Gourami and will have it as the only 'fish' in the aquarium. I would like to add something else to the tank that will not bother the DG and the DG would leave it alone as well. What would be compatible with the Dwarf Gourami and interesting to watch? ie: snail...

My wife has set the limit to my new 'family' aquarium to a 5 gallon corner tank for our desk in the kitchen :ermm: Since that is the max size I will be getting for a while, I have a couple questions: 1) What is a colorful fish (other than a Guppy or a Betta) that would do well in a 5 gallon...
