I forgot about my post :). Anyway, a few weeks ago petsmart got them in stock. I now have 6 wonderful shrimp. I think I might even like them more then the fish!

I guess not, just aggravation :)

I was reading The Complete Aquarium, and it mentions that the amount of freshwater fish one can have in a tank depends on the amount of surface area of a tank. A ten gallon tank is 10" x 20" giving you 200 square inches. Divide that by 10 and you get 20 inches of fish. I think that in a way...

Since I don't have a quarantine tank I figured why not buy this fish now and quarantine them all. I know that isn't the smartest thing to do. The tank is nearly done with the cycle. 0 Ammonia, hardly any nitrites, and nitrates. Since I have raised the temps the fish that had Ich had an outbreak...

I bought four ghost shrimp yesterday and I noticed that one of them had a sack of eggs. Well as I type this the eggs are hatching! I don't know what to do! I am guessing the fish will eat them or they will get sucked into the filter :(.

No other guppies, just a few neons and two hatchetfish.

Ahhh!!!! Good to know! Thanks everyone!

How do these fish do with other small fish such at neons and guppies? Any other important information to consider when adding these to a 10 gallon community tank?

I bought a lyertail guppy today and he can't seem to help himself from nipping at my other fish. A few of my fish have Ich so I have the temps up to 87. I think I have noticed that the guppy is nipping at the white spots of ick most of the time, but not all. So, could it be the high temps, the...

I got word from a few nice people on the IRC chat room to look in PetsMart but they didn't have any. Anyone know of a place close by? :)

Yea, a smaller slimmer one is chasing a more plump neon.

LOL, hitting on, or mistaking them for little fillets?

It seems that one of my neons, a small yet brightly colored one is harassing my other neons. I can't tell if it is going after one in particular, or just any one them. I thought these guys were peaceful little fishes?

I just setup this tank a few days ago and was gone for the weekend. I couldn't find my old timer so I left the tank light on. I am wondering if that, or the fact that there are no fish, or some other reason is the cause of some of the plants browning. Interestingly, the plant on the far right...

I had an eclipse 6 which i basically the same as the 12. Very quiet, but the acrylic did scratch easily.

Removed plants:

I went to another LFS to look for eco-complete and some more plants. They didn't have the substrate but I did manage to pick up four more plants. I got two more anacharis and am not totally sure what the other two are. One looks like it might be a compact hygro. It sure is hard to ID these...

Man, my LFS must really suck.. Wouldn't they know that they are selling non-aquatic plants?

Will the eco-complete make the water in the tank turn color? Black-water setup?

Thanks for the link! From what I can tell I have, two anacharis, one alternanthera and one Hedge! I guess I will have to throw out the hedge since the web site says that it is not a true aquarium plant and will rot! Does anyone know what substrate that guy used in his tank? I really like his...

I just bought a 10 gallon tank, some white sand, some rocks, and a few plants. After putting it together, I feel that I could do better. I am new to this, so I don't know what plants I bought, or the correct way of going about setting this up. My goal is to have a nice planted landscape and a...
