Fair enough, thanks for your help, everyone. I'll probably leave my first foray into saltwater to a bigger tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Toying with the idea of going saltwater with my empty 10 gallon. I've never done saltwater before, so trying to get an estimate of how much this would cost. Aside from heater and powerhead, I have no other saltwater equipment. I know cost will vary widely depending on what sorts of...

Can anyone recommend lighting (preferably LED) for a 10 gallon that they've had success growing plants with? Or something that's widely accepted as good quality. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi all, setting my 10 gallon back up after a year of dormancy. Looking for stocking inspiration. Don't have many restrictions but trying to avoid the ordinary. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for the replies guys. Could someone kindly give me a mock stocking list? Or a list of blues/reds/blacks that would work? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thinking of doing a 55g mbuna tank with 12 dwarf mbuna. So far my stocking list is only: - 4 yellow labs What are my other options? In terms of color I'd like an additional 4 blue mbuna (that aren't demasoni) and 4 red (couldn't find any that were compatible) or black. Sent from my iPhone...

Cleared my 55g out and I'm considering doing a South American cichlid aquarium. Just looking for ideas. My ideal choice would be an Oscar but I won't constrict one to a 55. Was also considering a pair of convicts but would love to hear suggestions. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My LFS store (locally owned) takes adult fish and yes, rip you off a bit for credit, but it's better than nothing. I accounted for cycling time, I'm actually there 10 months out of the year. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

No, not looking to sell on for profit. I'll get some livestock credit for the fish but that's not the goal. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Long story short: my job now requires me to travel during the summer months and I have no one to look after my 55g. So, the plan is to stock it for 9 months of the year and return the fish come summer. While I'm well aware this isn't ideal, I'd still like to keep the 55 going and it provides...

As of now the angels are only protective of the plant on which the fry are situated, once they are free swimming will the angels stop being protective of them or will they roam around with them causing havoc in the entire tank? Considering removing the fry and putting them into my 10g. Sent...

Thank you! So I saw the eggs turn white and disappear one by one, so I just assumed my angels are both female and they were infertile eggs. Little did I know that there's 100's of fry on a leaf that was out of my vision. Negligible aggression from the angels to the rest of the tank mates thus...

Only other tank I have is a 10g so I couldn't really move the Angels out, but I could move the eggs/fry out. A divider is also a viable option, thanks for that idea. Any idea on whether or not those eggs are fertile (not sure if I have 1 m 1 f or 2 f angels)? They have the color or fertile eggs...

A little after a week after getting them, my two angels have laid eggs on my anubias. It's a community aquarium and I've never dealt with an angel spawn before, so do any of you have any tips to keep the rest of the inhabitants safe? I've already moved the anubias to the opposite side of the...

I do like the rummynose, I would just like a bit more color variation in the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hmm, good to know. They weren't full size but not small, either. Probably 75% of fully grown. They were the only things in the tank (besides 6 otos) when I introduced them and most died within 4 days, so it was almost akin to a quarantine. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Was considering rummynose, but I already have a lot of white in my tank with the cories and otos. Have been trying to find something with a bit more color that the angels won't eat, but to no avail so far. Update: the angels have eaten 1 cardinal already, so rebuilding that school is a no-go...

I have a newly started Amazonian inspired tank (tank thread to come soon, I promise) with lots of driftwood and it's is in the process of becoming heavily planted. I won't call it a biotope because the plants aren't Amazonian, but all the inhabitants are. Current stock: 6x false juli cory 6x...

Hmm...thx for all the info once again guys. Gives me a lot to consider. Are rummynose any hardier? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for all the info guys. May abandon the cardinal school as I don't wish to keep spending money on fish that won't make it. Any ideas for a hardier Amazonian schooling fish? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

pH: 6.5. Moderately planted with lots of driftwood. Are you telling or asking me? was under the impression that most cardinals are farm raised? Didn't drip acclimate, usually do but was doing 100 other things - seriously doubt it was this as most deaths happened 2-3 days after and I didn't...

What did you say is in the tank with it? I've heard of them working in communities in big tanks but as with most fish I'm sure that's on an individual personality basis! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yes, they don't mix well with other fish. Species only tank is the way to go with literally every puffer aside from SAP's. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Very confused by recent events in my tank. I added 15 Cardinal tetras to a fully cycled tank and in less than a week 11 have died. There is 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 5ppm nitrate. The tank is 55 gallons. Admittedly, a couple got caught in the filter intake and died, but most didn't. To put...
