I'm not sure if I want angels, I'm thinking of starting with something smaller that can half live off of live plants in the tank. I like the idea of killifish and tetras and the such. Your recommendation of plants really helps. What kind of supplies should I look at getting, such as filters and...

Looking at getting a 60 gallon.

I'm still in the planning stages, I'm up for live bearers and egg layers.

I'm currently in the planning stages of a planted tank in which I want to practice breeding fish. I want a small simple tropical fish, that are easy to breed. Any suggestions on fish types and plant types and any other things I should plan for would be great.

So I'm looking into getting around a 60 gallon tank. I want to use live plants and get them growing before adding some small breeding fish. However, I don't know where to start. Any advice is welcome. What do I need for my tank, what plants should I get, what kind of things should I avoid. Any...

This was very helpful! I plan to add a bottom dweller last after the system starts to equal out and do plan tonalso breed brine shrimp and blood worms in separate tanks for food for the bottom dweller. Are you sure I wont need a filter, I know the plants will helpf filter stuff out but from...

Good to know, tjough t sounded interesting

Cool, I've heard a lot anout java moss and fern but will check out java mood and anubis. What are good small fish that a catfish could eat bt would also be able to breed and feed off algae and shrimp?

Cool, what about plants? I dot want to overwhelm the bottom feeders but want some live plants as well. Should I stick with java moss or are there others I can use?

I'm looking at making my own ecosystem aquarium. Tank size around 60 gallons. Wanting bottom feeders like catfish (looking at pictus catfish or raphael catfish). Don't know what fish to use for feeder fish but plan to use some food until the ecosystem gets going. I really need some help on...

Cool what size tank would I need for that?

Yeah I heard about bloodworms. Would they grow in the tank or how would that work? Also what about small fish?

What kinds of food would you recommend growing for the catfish? And yeah i plan to have other food as well.

Yeah the Rafael and pictus were my favorite catfish so far

I have so many questions dont know where to start, I will say I'm really fascinated with bottom feeders especially catfish. Also looking at maybe breeding brine shrimp separately (dont believe they breed in freshwater) but minus that and some other food would like most food to be grown in the...

Awesome, I know Im also lookig at tropical freshwater if you know , uch about that. And I do know that, haven't got too far ito maintenance yer so I dont exactly know what I hae to do , bt I have heard the term.

Looking at freshwater, I know this is going to be a challenge but freshwater should make it a bit easier. Hopefully I stay dedicated amd can work my way up to making a saltwater tank that can include small sharks but thats a ways away.

Wanting to put together a tropical aquarium that is mostly self sufficient. Also looking at using moss for the main plant. Hoping to be able to support up to a pictus catfish. And Im looking at using a 60 gallon tank. I dont know what kind of filters or lights to use, and could use any other...
