    30 gal setup -- overstocking?

    Can you guys explain what exactly the python does differently than a gravel vac? Cause that's what I have now. From what I've gathered you connect it to a sink? But the nearest one for me would be my ma's bathroom and that's kind of far..

    30 gal setup -- overstocking?

    It's a 30 gallon tall (not my personal choice, but I got it for free so I wasn't going to complain). I think I'm gonna add the three tiger barbs first so they have each other to play around with and won't mess with the swordtails when I add the females. After a little more research I don't think...

    Lonely male swordtail?

    I'm also considering either giant danios or Bosemani (sp?) rainbows, but I'm not sure if I have enough room. And I started to develop brown algae and wouldn't mind a nice bottom dweller to help that out if there are any suggestions?

    Lonely male swordtail?

    I've got a 30 gallon tank cycled since January with five tiger barbs in it. This weekend I bought three male sword-tails (I know they get aggressive towards each other to fight for mates, but I figured with no females they'd be fine) and two of them have already died. I tested my water at the...

    Hello all!

    Hello! I'm pretty new to this fishkeeping hobby but I'm trying to learn as much as I can. I've been researching like crazy since I got my first tank, a 30 gallon freshwater this past winter break, but I still know I have a lot more to learn. I also may get a job at my LFS (more like a pet store...
