It's not so much a need, just that I really love the fish. As far as I had known, they did just as well on their own. All of the research I've done has never specified that they must be with others of their kind. I've also seen many tank set ups with one lone gourami and they've always been...

Thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas! Do you think I could sub a pearl for the opaline or are they too large as well? I was really hoping for one of the more standout types

Hi all! Just picked up a 30g tall tank and am starting the fishless cycle process. I want to start getting ideas right away for stocking. I was thinking an opaline gourami for my centrepiece fish as I love them but would take other suggestions. I have some platies and a molly that I would like...

Thank you for that info, I do lots of research online but found lots of mixed info on temp for Rams. A few said a min of 76-78 but are happiest at 80-82. I will put her in her own tank and make it warmer and see if that does anything to help relive her stress. Thanks again!

It stays between 75-80 depending on how warm the house gets!

These are both the same fish, just wanted a pic of both sides. She has always looked this way I think, the bars have been there since purchase for sure. I don't have the parameters at the moment, I'm away from home. The tank has been running for two years + and she's been in the tank for about a...

I have attached here two side shots of a dwarf ram in my tank and I was hoping someone could tell me which species I have here! Thanks so much! Rai

Thanks so much! One last question, where should I put my media in this filter? The side compartments? Middle? Or does it matter much? And should I stack them like they are in my regular filter I really appreciate your help!

I believe it's this one! http://www.ecosystemaquarium.com/products/freshwater/eco-filters/deluxe-hob-system/

Hi all! I just bought a 30g tank and was about to set it up and start the cycling process when I realized... I have no idea what this filter is that came with it. It comes from ecosystemaquarium.com and uses something called Miracle Mud. This is the first time I've heard of this type of...

Thanks for the reply! It seems to be completely gone now. Must have been something he ate.

Hello all. My guppy seems to have developed a random blue spot. It appears to be internal rather than external. Not sure if I should be worried. He's swimming around perfectly fine and is still eating and seems happy enough. I did recently treat the tank for ich, maybe he's just consumed some...

Thanks so much for the info! I'd be happy to get a pair so that they can be happier. But I'm concerned about spawning. I'm not really set up for babies. Is there any way to prevent spawning with a pair?

Thanks so much for the reply! If it's not necessary to keep an algae eater of some sort (which I don't believe it is) I may drop the otos and do 6 blood fins. So I'd end up with X1 Bolivian ram X6 blood fin tetra X5 neon rainbow (although now thinking of switching to another type, they are...

Hey all! I'm in the process of cycling my new 30g and am trying to pull together some stocking ideas! I'd definitely love to have some kind of a showcase fish, I was thinking either ram or gourami (possibly dwarf of the latter). My initial idea was X1 ram (either German blue or Bolivian) X3...

Thank you!

New to the forum side of fish keeping. Have been caring for fish for nearly 3 years now and recently moved out on my own and decided to keep my own fish! I have a 15g already set up and stocked and am in the process of cycling a 30g. Any advice on quicker cycling is welcome. Probably going to...
