Hey all. I bought what I thought were 6giant Danios here about a month ago. Now I have noticed that one just doesn't look like the others. I was thinking it kinds looks like a type of rainbow fish maybe. Anyone able to confirm from my shoddy photo?

With the Hurricane possably taking out the power in the next few days I need some advice. Do i need to hook up my very very small generator to my Community tank 24/7 or can I let it run for a few hours at a time then cut it off? I know my betta should be ok cutting it on and off but with my...

Hey guys I have a problem. My ph has went from 7.0 to7.4 over night. Although its not a huge jump I have 6 giant danios and 3 gold gourami I never saw this when the golds went in. Should I be concerned? Or just change the water and keep testing daily? I'm currently at ph 7.4 ammo 0 nitrites 0...

Well after reading alot on here and making a few mistakes along the way and taking back the cichlids that my wife bought after they started fighting. I have straightened out the water parameters and i am thinking about going with: 6-8 Harliq. Rasboras 4-5 Giant Danios 2- Flame Dwarf Gourami 4-...

+1 for Harlequin Rasboras

These can be keeping the same tank right? I currently have them with out any problems.

They were on sale at the lfs in the assorted cichlid tank. They were the only 2 in the tank not fighting. They were actually getting picked on. I dunno if you can tell in the pic but the white with stripes turns yellow towards the back end. Both are 3-4 inches.

I'm at 6.8

Hey I have been cycling my tank and I have hit a wall. My ammonia is at 0 but nitrites are5+ and nitrates around10. I don't have any access to ace ammonia. So I have been giving a pinch of flakes each day. My readings have been like this for over a week.

Eh kinda...im talking about the actual Badis Badis..they do look very very close. They are also called Dwarf Chameleon Fish

Anyone have any info on these guys? Good in a community tank? Need to be kept in pairs? Any one had any sucess in keeping them? Thinking about having 1 if possable in a 36 gal with 6-glowfish 6-Harlequin Rasboras 8-Cardinal Tetras 6-Julii Cory Cats

Yeah I dunno much other than they are quite colorful during spawning. Any one have any info on badis?

What about going with: 6-glowfish 6-Harlequin Rasboras 8-Cardinal Tetras 6-Julii Cory Cats 1-Badis

All those can fit without over stocking?

Currently nothing's in the tank. Except for what decorations I have.

van the second picture is a rainbow fish? I love the colors. OK so it seems that cichlids are probably out. So what about 4-5 angel fish, a rainbow shark, and some ghost shrimp as cleanup crew. With the angels getting around 5 inches and the shark getting around 6 what would that leave some...
