Hi, thanks for the advice. It is a corner tank, I fit some background paper to it yesterday and the point at the back is 24" across and it is 13" up.

Thank you, well I went to a different fish place today and saw a few different types of Neons I want, was thinking 4 each of 3 types, wanted the white ones, the normal ones and there are also ones I saw called bubble eyes or something like that, they were tiny, and cute. I also spotted Dwarf...

I have a 30 litre tank and so many sites have said fish need at least 45, so why do they make them? Mine isn't even that small to look at, I've seen them half the size of that. All the aquatic centres said mine is fine for quite a lot of Neons but the sites say 5 or 6 need 40 litres. My...

How many of these little fellas can I get in my tank? (works out 29L). Also, are there any compatible, placid bigger fish I could get in there? Maybe 2? Also, is sand ok for these and what real plants are best? What do they eat? What temperature is best?

Hi everyone, This is my first venture into the tropical world and would like some advice. My tank isn't huge, not too sure what the volume is but I will put a picture on for you to gauge whether it is suitable for this type of fish and how many it can accommodate. I really like the look of...
