Thanks! I won't get any fish for it until next summer (I'm moving to a new apartment) but I'd just like to have it planned out. I'm feeling pretty disappointed in petsmart, what with this and the state of their betta cups. I was also planning on getting several filters along the back wall since...

Also any filter size suggestions are appreciated!

I just heard from a relative that she has a big tank that I can have (her estimate is that its 6 feet long, yay!) and I would like a Senegal bichir (maybe more than one?) and an African knife fish. I've been interested in these fish for a while and would like any suggestions for tank mates...

Ok. Do you know why one of them looks so different from the others?

I got 4 cories from petsmart, all were called emerald cories. I've had them for about a month now and 1 has grown much bigger than the others and is also much darker. Does anyone know what type that cory really is and how big it will get? Thanks! Sorry about the blurry pic, I'm using my phone.

Thank you, I'd been worrying about him all week and I feel a lot more relaxed now!

I've been feeing him frozen daphnia, is that enough protein? And he's with some cories and ADFs. He follows them around and doesn't seem stressed. I have silk plants but a plastic "rock" cave so maybe he tore his fins on that?

I just got a betta fish at a college dorm give away and his fins are ragged. This is my first tank (10g, penguin 100 filter) and at first I thought maybe it was just due to poor store conditions and he would get better on his own. He eats fine (as long as its frozen food, he won't eat pellets)...

Hey, I'm new to the forum and new to aquariums. I set up a 10 gallon several weeks ago when I found out my college dorm was giving away bettas. He has some tank mates, and everyone is getting along fine. When I got the betta his fins looked kinda ragged so I've been treating him with Maracyn 2...
