I don't know how to add a photo, but the fish was definitely pinkish and named as pink....how sad that they're dyed! I Googled images and the black and white is nice without any changes!

Good point about the store employees, or at least some of them. The ones that didn't make it were....2 ghost shrimp, an African dwarf frog, a mickey mouse platy, a guppy, and a pink dalmation molly. What we have in there now...2 mickey mouse platys, 2 black mollies, 2 snails, a gourami, and a...

Thank you! We actually inherited this tank/filter from a family member who was no longer using it. I didn't realize the filter was so strong (although I'm glad it's an efficient one). I'll try turning it down later. Poor shrimp

Thank you both! We would've started out smaller, but we got lucky and got the tank from a family member who wasn't using it anymore. This site has been so helpful already

What do you mean for media and stock....decorations? I'm still learning all this terminology, lol. There are no shrimp left, they just disappeared one night. Waited a few days, then cleaned the tank VERY carefully,but no sign of them. I've seen the gourami nipping at catfish tails before (or...

I love it so far! Right now, there are 2 Mickey platys, 2 snails, 2 black mollies, a gourami, and a guppy. There were others too, but they didn't make it. I joined to figure out why and learn about all this aquarium business :)

Hey all, I have a 3-month old 29-gallon tank with guppies, mollies, a gourami, platys, and snails. Two ghost shrimp went missing. Two catfish died, one with a missing tail. A pregnant platy died. My African dwarf frog died after a week, with limbs missing. And tonight a guppy is missing. The...

Thanks everyone!

My little family and I started a 29-gallon aquarium a few months ago and are excited to learn and add to it! I live in New Jersey with my husband and two young daughters. I'm looking forward to looking around and hopefully figuring things out :):fish2:
