So what would be a good show fish? I know 10 gal isnt big. At one time it was a show salt water micro tank for two clown fish. I would like to do something similar in freshwater because I do not have the means to keep a saltwater tank any more. BTW it hasnt been salt water in 2 years. It was...

I have an empty 10 gal that I would like to turn into a show tank with one of two fish in it. I was wonder if 2 cichlids that only get between 3-4" would be fine if I fill it with rocks and plants.

O may goodness, the horrors of a TYPO I meant platty

i only have one pleco. below is a picture of the pleco on the back of my tank.. There is a lower left fin that you cant not see too well. I am not sure what kind of pleco, just assuming its common http://s121.photobucket.com/albums/o201/afasoccerguy/?action=view¤t=photo4.jpg

I think that my pleco is a common pleco. Its all black with 2 sets of pelvic fins. The pet store I got my livestock is a small family run business that has a greta reputation for knowledgeable staff, and Ive worked exclusively with the owner, as he is a friend of my friend. He told me that...

I need some help in deciding if I could, and if I could what kinds of livestock would go nice in my 55gal tank. This is my current livestock inventory: 1 4-5" Bala Shark 1 Stripe Raphael Catfish 1 Red Damsel 1 Pleco 1 Tetra 2 Small Cory 3 Striped Danio 6 Adult Platty, 1 Juvenile (if he hasnt...

Thanks for the help everyone, I just removed all the shells, rocks, and non living decoration from my tank. That made quite the mess of the water, very cloudy. I also took about 5 gals of dirty water I took from the tank with my gravel vac that I have. The gravel looks cleaner but my water is...

Hey Everyone, I need some advise on cleaning my 55 gal freshwater tank. I havent had a tank this big before with a healthy amount of livestock. Ive overfed in the while trying to figure out how much to feed my fish and the gravel at the bottom is full of waste and uneaten food. In the past...

I moved some of the water of from my old tank. I increased the tank size so the filter didnt move but I ran the filter for a few days and I moved things from the old tank that had algae and stuff and waited to see growth before I moved them over.

Ok, alittle update. After I added all my old fish to the new tank, the fish tanked. All but one fish died. I restocked my tank and this is what i have at the moment: 1 Bala Shark, 1 Glowlight Tetra (only surviving fish from original tank), 1 plecoptera, 1 Cory, 3 red Damsels, 7 Multi-Colored...

konvictKeeper, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, they have them at my local walmart.

I saw the prehistoric dragon fish and thought it was neat looking and would make a cool addition to my tank. I am just worried that my substrate would be a problem. I have seashells and glass beads over blue gravel and i dont know if that would be too rough for a bottom living fish.

Hello, My name is Josh and I have been a long time aquarium junkie. I had a 20 gal tropical freshwater tank growing up. A micro saltwater tank for about 3 years, and currently I have a 1.5 gal beta tank, 10 gal tropical tank that by Saturday will be a goldfish tank, and a 55 gal tank that I...
