Undergravel filter help

[Finntastic]

I think I've decided to just keep my snails in my 3 gallon tank, so I don't think I would have either shrimp or snails in the tank

Okay that helps. And it will have lots of plants right?

The 3 gallon? It currently has no plants but I am going to add some. I need to change out the substrate first though.

 

[Finntastic]

No the 10 gallon. But 3 gallon would be nice with plants

Oh! Yes, it only has those two currently but I will be adding more eventually

Okay! How 'bout a pair of ram cichlids and 5 neon tetras

The Rams are pretty! Would they have them at Petco? That is the only pet store I have near me

 

[Finntastic]

Yes they would. And there are 4 different kinds, gold, bolivian, German blue, and electric blue

And look around, there are probably better more localized small businesses around you that you haven't noticed.

If you're talking about German Rams you might wait awhile and gain some experience within the hobby..the gbr's you see in big box stores usually suffer from poor breeding & more often than not short lifespans..
I'd suggest starting with something a lil more less demanding..

sit in silence...

I definitely need fish that are easy to take care of

Do either of you know anything about snails?

 

[rachelives]

Just kidding, I found the invertebrates section

 

[Finntastic]

You could do 5 neons and 5 khuli loaches

 

[rachelives]

The loaches are kinda scary! They look like snakes

They are small and actually really fun to watch, they are super hyperactive though. If you wanna see a scary (yet awesome) loach go to the thread "calebs tanks" and ask to see his golden dojo loach

 

[rachelives]

Do you have to get multiple or can they live alone or with just one other?

Multiple. They do a lot better with others since they are a social fish

[Finntastic]

Okay
