my ten gallon has been running for something like 2 - 2 and a half months with 6 black skirt tetra. I was thinking of adding a dwarf gourami but changed my mind at the last minute and got a crescent moon betta fish. I picked him up about 6 hours ago, when i first put him in the tank he was very...

I started getting interested in fish keeping about two months ago and immediately jumped into it. While cycling my 10gal i was looking around for what fish i should get and which i want and how many i could hold, etc. Before my tank was finished i planned on getting 6 black skirt tetra, 3 juli...

My 10gallon aquarium was up and running great for about a month and then i went on vacation. I asked my family to throw in 6-7 pellets a day, and don't worry if they miss a day as its harder to starve than over feed. I guess they didn't really hear me because i was gone for around 10 days and...

I just got myself 3 Juli Corys from the store today and two of them have been swimming around the bottom as they usually do, but the largest of the three will swim along the bottom with them for 5 seconds and then lay on the bottom of the tank for a couple of minutes. is it normal for a cory to...

Hey guys, i've been having some fun researching fish and what not since i started my 10gallon tank. So far i have finished cycling and added 6 black skirt tetra. I have a mix of gravel and sand in the bottom and feed the tetra the smallest brand of tropical sinking fish food from API, the thing...

Hey everyone, my ten gallon is up and running, so far only have 6 black skirt tetra in there and i am feeding them the smallest size sinking tropical fish pellets from API. They seem to like them but if they miss a few while they are sinking, they will not eat it out of the sand or gravel. I...

I just stocked my cycled tank with 5 black skirt tetra and I'm sure it is nothing to worry about but i may as well ask - they swim in a loose school most of the time (although i have only had them a day) but every now and then one will break off and swim somewhere else, when he does that one or...

Hey everyone, my tank has finished cycling, was getting 0ppm ammonia and 10-20ppm nitrates, then i went on vacation for 4 days (still did not have fish) and came back to .25ppm ammonia and 0-5ppm nitrates. I got 5 black skirt tetra and tested the water 2 hours after getting them, ammonia was at...

My cycle is coming to an end as my Ammonia levels are going between .25 and 0 and Nitrates are around 5 and 10. PH is 7.6 or 7.8 i think. I have a heater that keeps the water at 78*F, so please keep that in mind when giving possible fish. I have a 10gal, lightly planted with a mix of sand and...

I have been cycling a 10gal tank with a goldfish (got the goldfish out of the blue, had no choice but to do fish-in) since Friday June 6, so roughly one week. There are some plants, a gravel/sand mix in the bottom, filter, and 2 15W lights. I preform daily PWC around 30-50% and have vacuumed...

I've been cycling my 10 gallon tank with Fish-in cycling (yes, yes, give me hate for doing fish-in) and tested the water just now, everything is at 0 except ammonia. Ammonia is one higher than 0... 0.5 if I'm not mistaken. Been doing 50% water changes daily - guy at the LFS told me it could be...

Did some digging around while i was letting my 10 gallon tank cycle and many people seem to agree that Petco / Petsmart will say what they have to to get a sale, therefore for an aquarium they are not the most reliable, so i went to a fish store that sells strictly aquarium goods (although much...

Going through the cycling phase of a ten gallon tank right now and wondering what kind of fish will end up going inside to live there. I really like Dwarf Gourami as well as Cichlids. Angelfish and Black Molly are interesting as well and a Loach is pretty cool. Any combination of these fish that...

I just got a new ten gallon tank starting kit, the exact kit i got was right here - Aqueon » Basic Aquarium Kit | Products , a ten gallon tank that comes with a lid, 2 iridescent bulbs, a filter, and i believe aerator. I have some additional questions to help start my tank. I apologize if this...
