DG Disease? So as you guys can tell I love my little dwarf gourami (name pending) and now have been doing some research into DG disease (apparently was REALLY big in 2006) and would like to know the basic symptoms so I can look out. My guy is always hiding around so I fear the lethargy symptom...

Acclimate slowly and leave that old filter for a while just to be safe. Test that water frequently!

Thanks! I love his color. I can't wait to add some more friends for him and increase the colors in my little tank!

Thanks :) He's a little shy of the 6 Zebra Danios in there but is finally starting to warm up to them a little bit.

Thank you. This site has definitely been a great source for advice. Hopefully as I learn more I can contribute as well.

Wanted to say thanks to all you guys here on AA! I went to my LFS one day and realized fish are awesome.. bought a tank and went home. Realized I didn't know where to start and a quick google led me here! Fast forward past learning how to cycle, reading thousands of stocking advice, and a few $...

Can't wait to see this tank filled and stocked! I LOVE the rocks.. as a firefighter's son, find a way to get some FF pride in there! No metal of course but there's gotta be a way! Be sure to update when it's fully operational!

Sand substrate, fake plants for now (considering real now :ermm: ). Tank is currently stoked with 6 Zebra Danios and 1 Dwarf Gourami. Adding some more soon (will update then). Check it out!

UPDATE: So I went to my LFS and found myself QUICKLY loving gouramis. Thanks to Amicus I looked at them for about an hour. I've decided instead of an angel and the trouble to go along with raising one. I'll fix up my first tank with a DG. SO.... I'm now thinking 6 Zebra Danios (Already have...

A quick google search will show you how to ID whether male or female. Here's a snippet I took from a random answer site: "Look at the underside of the fish. About two-thirds of the way along its body (towards the tail) will be two small fins called the pectoral fins. Slightly behind them is the...

Thanks for the response... I really like the blue rams too.. they're a fun fish with interesting colors. I'm considering now: 6 Zebra Danios (Black and silverish) 4-6 Platys (Probably redish orange) 1 German Blue Ram (Blue amongst others of course) 1 Angel (Depends on availability) 6 Cory...

1 Male to every 2 Female. The males will pursue a female, having the 2 females per male helps keep the males at bay a little bit.

The tank looks great at the moment. I absolutely love dalmatian mollies. Keep in mind that you're already pretty close to stocked in a 10 gallon before you add anymore. Check out aqadvisor.com for more info on that. I hope you're keeping your mollies in 1M:2F ratios to keep them in line, so if...

What is your tank stocked with?

Thanks, I was also thinking maybe a cichlid tank for their awesome colors, but I've read they prefer a longer tank over tall and as you can see I have a tall tank. MY CURRENT PLAN however was to add more danios because I've heard if they're in a larger school they'll keep more to themselves...

Thanks Thanks for the welcomes! I'm a little worried about the danios now because of the nippy factor, but I've heard if kept in larger schools they'll keep it to themselves. I was also considering returning my danios to the LFS and picking up some tetras instead.

Wish you could start a new tank? Well live through me! I have just finished cycling my 37gallon tall. I need to stock it! I have 6 zebra danios (figured I'd get some tough little guys in there after my first cycle just to be sure!) and plenty of room. It's not planted, but I do have lots of...

Hi everyone, I've managed fw tanks in the past. I say managed because I had a roommate who moved in with a ~36gal bowfront and had no idea why his fish kept dying. I started to get concerned and learned there was a lot more involved than buying 20 random fish and dumping them in water (his...
