yeah, my tank is very well established I think my tank is very well established. It's been up and running for about 1 1/2 years now. Well, another question now... the female krib is really starting to beat up on the male now, should I take him out and give him to my lfs before she offs him...

Thanks for the advice... Thanks, I was worried that a week might be too long for them to go without food since normally I feed them very well ( : I didn't realize a light timer could be so inexpensive, I'll definitely buy one before I leave! I have had REALLY bad luck with having...

Well, if anyone remembers me... I wrote a few weeks ago regarding my ten gallon planted freshwater tank stocked with four young tiger barbs and two young kribs. Well, my two kribs now have 20 fry!!! Of course, they succeeded in their FIRST attempt in my ten gallon tank!!! I don't know what to...

Awesome... Awesome, Love it, thanks for the advice! I haven't had a loach yet, so I'm particularly excited about that idea! So how's 4 polka dot loaches (so Cool!), 8 harlequin rasboras (can I cycle w/ these guys or are they too delicate?), 8 tiger barbs, 2 kribs, 2 pleco's, and I would...

Yeah, great idea... Absolutely, good idea, what are some asian fish examples??? Are there any that would do well with Kribensis AND Tiger Barbs? I've seen fake bonsai trees made for aquariums too, I'll have to include a couple of those. Can I use any of the equipment I already have in my 10...

Thankyou!!! Thanks so much!! It takes a lot of work (as everyone here is well aware) and it's nice for someone other than myself to enjoy it!! As for my almost-breeding kribs, what do people do with 100 little baby kribs???? I WISH I could get a bigger tank, but my current financial...

Hmmm.. Quite a conundrum indeed! Well, when I got the two kribs I thought they wouldn't even try to breed in such a small tank... guess I was mistaken as they have started to mature and are now doin' the little shakin' dance for each other. Crap! I actually have ac ouple of snails that snuck...

Not too much algae... I actually don't think there's a lot of algae growth in my tank yet. I'm gonna try to post a pic of it here. I was reading about otto's in another section here, and I got the impression that they're not the most "hardy" fish. I really just wanted a pleco for aesthetics...

First off, I am new to the site, and find all of the topics of dicsussion very informative, so thanks! I have a ten gallon planted tank with two young kribs (1 male and 1 female) and four dime-sized tiger barbs. I would love to get a small pleco to complete the tank, but am worried that the...
