I am looking for some definitive advice. I just bought a Clown Pleco. I have had a relatively good sized(12-15 inches) of Mopani Wood in my tank for about a month. My reading has shown varying information. Will the Clown Pleco eat the Mopani? I know driftwood is important to their diet, and I...

Well, I am happy to announce I have upgraded from a 30g tank to a 55g tank. I currently have 2 angelfish, 3 female guppies, 1 male guppy, and 1 rubberlip pleco. I would like to add some platies and a rainbow shark or 2. Will the shark be compatible with what I have?

The store was out of the platies I wanted, so I got 4 guppies, 1 male and 3 female and decided to follow the advice on the danios and went with 2 angelfish. They are super cool looking. I will keep all updated with how things go over the next few weeks.

1 male and 3 female platy?

Thank you guys so much for the help. I look forward to the tropical fish and was very happy to be able to rehome the goldfish. I am excited and can't wait for the new fish and updates on the forum. You guys rock!

So I looked back over it and came up with this 1 - Rubberlip 6 - Zebra Danio 6 - Sunset Fire Wag Platy 6 - Cobra Guppy

In seeing your replies, I will avoid the sharks. Other than those, will the rest of my numbers work?

So I am thinking of this setup, what do you guys think? 1 - Rubberlip Pleco 1 - Rainbow Shark 6 - Zebra Danio 6 - Sunset Fire Wag Platy 4 - Red Wag Platy

So I have looked at tropical fish and have listed below what I like. I was able to go to the non chain fish store and they are rehoming my goldfish. I have just a rubberlip pleco in the tank now. I went out and purchased a heater as well. I would like to get a few schools of fish if possible and...

Thank you for the advice. I will work with the non chain store to rehouse the comet asap. So far I have not had any trouble with the rubberlip, he likes to hang out in the cave mostly. I will keep a close eye on that. What kind of tropical fish would you suggest?

They are 3 fancy goldfish. 1 is a comet, the other 2 are ryunkins. The comet and 1 of the ryunkins are what I would consider medium sized, about a 3 inch comet, not counting the tail, and about 3 or so inches on the 1 ryunkin. The other ryunkin is about 1.5 inches. The rubberlip is probably...

While I work on finding new homes for some of these fish, what can I do to help keep the ammonia levels down? I have started doing a 10-15 % change every other day. I don't want to kill the fish, but it will take me a little while to find a new home for them.

Good afternoon, I have a 30g tank with 3 goldfish and 1 rubberlip pleco. I am running an Aqueon Quietflow 55 and a MarineLand Penguin 150. So I have filtration for about 85 gallons worth of tank. My questions are as follows 1) In following the recommendations of my local store, have I...
