from my recent studies (pondering an african tank) i have found that there are very few cichlids that would fit in a tank smaller than 20g. From what I have seen, there are a few dwarf species that can live in a 10g, but only two can be kept in such a small tank. Lots of people seem to like...

acrylic weighs less, that I know... but when your talking about that amount of water, weight better not be an issue 8O congrats on being able to afford/to get my dream tank!

I just added two large size ramshorn snails to my 10g tank, and I think i have a problem. I stuck them to the glass and they proceaded to march down to the bottom, which is a fine white sand substrate. Once there it seems like one of them couldnt stick to the sand, and ended up floating around...

well.... as soon as i get a job I will get a larger tank (i'm leaning towards 29 gal, because I'd like quite a few fish) I need the job first because im facing some expensive repair bills for my car. I suppose i will be leaving the dainos alone in the tank for now. I really would have liked...

I have had two Zebra Danios in a small Eclipse System 3 tank (3 gallon) for a year. I got this setup as a graduation gift, and initially there was a swordtale in there aswell, but i think the danios stressed it to death by chasing it around. Right now one of the danios is segnificantly larger...
