Im trying to come up with ideas for stocking my blackwater 29g, Currently i have: 5 kuhli loaches 1 male blue gourami 5 black skirt tetras My question is would i be able to put in 5 female bettas, if this means anything my fish are relatively peaceful. If not do you guys have any suggestions?

I have a blackwater 29g aquarium, currently i have: 5 black skirt tetras 1 blue gourami 6 kuhli loaches What are some suggestions for stocking the rest? I have blue velvet shrimp in mind or maybe bamboo shrimp, i dont really know though.

Hi, im going to do a rescape for my 29g, it will be planted and everything. At my lfs there is a sale going on for a bit on some decent sized mopani wood. Do any of you guys have some tips for scaping with it? I havent really used it before.

Test before 50% wc: Ammonia: ? (I cant test for it) Nitrate: 30 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm When feeding my 29g, i noticed that one pf my black skirt tetras had popeye in one eye. Its fins were also torn, and there were black spots on his scales. Its still eating also. I just did a 50% water change...

So one day ive notice this plant that is growing on my java fern. I think it is its own plant because it has its own set of roots. its right at the very front leaf.

Is this a male or female blue gourami? Im pretty sure its a male but I'd like to be for sure.

So ive posted this earlier, last year I think, and it was identified as a female bristlenose pleco. But many were unsure because of the poor camera angle. Im pretty sure it has 2 bristles on its nose. Its pretty rare that I actually see it so I cant take pictures of it often. Old pic New pic...

My res is very skittish when it comes to people, sometimes when my family is downstairs she basks but not often, she really just does it in the morning. But moving the tank isnt an option because idk if anywhere in my house could support her 75g, probably there is a place but i wouldnt fell...

So im looking into building a DIY 29g sump for my 75g turtle tank. Im going to make a DIY aqaurium overflow that goes over the back of the tank. Its going to be made of 1in thick pvc pipe and that translates to about 375gph flowing into the sump. The pump would have to be able to pump that about...

Hi, so my gourami that I just added into my tank is injured. When i was doing a water change he swam up the siphon tube, i panicked and pulled it out the water. He fell back into the water in injured the base of his dorsal fin. Half of his fin is a dark grey, so i imagine that part of his fin is...

So my 29g tank has this for its stocking, 5 x Black Kuhli (Pangio oblonga) 6 x Black Skirt Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi) 1 x Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.) 1 x Blue Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus) 1 x Mystery Snail (Pomacea cuprina) The majority of fish that I have are rescues and I was...

So i recently was handed down a blue gourami and i wanted to make sure that im not overstocking my tank. I have a marineland penguin 200 for my 29g tank, I also have a few spare air pumps and sponge filters that I could put on it. Is this stocking okay, 5 x Black Kuhli (Pangio oblonga) 6 x...

So i rescued this pleco a bit ago and he was in a 5.5g tank for his life before we got him. After i moved my res from my 29g to my new 75g, i moved my fish from my 10g into there and my pleco in there. It has been pretty spooked recently, so this is my best opportunity for a picture. If you...

Since it is late fall/early winter my turtle tank's heater is having a hard time catching up. Its only in a 29g right now (i plan to get a larger tank soon), but i have a preset 29g rated heater but its a bit cold for her i have a spare 150w heater that could definitely heat it up to the right...

Do any of you guys know any good uv bulbs for turtles? My uv bulb just went out after a couple weeks and i hear that they do that a lot, i was using an exo terra 26w uv bulb, is that a good brand?

So whenever i put snails in my 5.5g they die within a day or 2, but whenever i put them in my 10g they thrive. They have very similar water parameters and are both fully cycled, the tanks are basicly the same except for the decorations, fish stocking, and gravel depth. I always stir around my...

So when i feed my red eared slider i have to take her out of the tank (cause i dont want to pollute my water with uneaten food), but whenever i do that she tries to bite my finger. So how strong are red eared slider bites, currently shes a baby so i doubt its that much but im curious.

So my tetras have ich on their fins and none of my other fish are showing symptoms but i know that changes quickly. Its not related to water parameters cause they were all in the safe zone, its becuase i stressed them out becuase i had to reorganize the tank for better flow. But they've...

So what tank mates could be added to a 10g tank with a betta and 2 mystery snails and wont have that much bioload. Thinking about neon tetras, but they are kinda agreesive, would 6 be good with the bettas and snails?

So after I realized that my 10g was over stocked i thought that i can most of my fish from my 10g to my 29g. Then i thought of my betta, i'd love to give him a 10g rather than his old tank. So what im wondering is, what (non-betta) fish are good for a 5.5g tank? Im thinking either endlers, or...

So my 10g has 10 fish and 2 snails 2 young khuli loaches (im putting them in a 29g in the near future with more friends) 6 young black skirt tetras 1 young oto 2 golden mystery snails Right now i have a topfin ten gallon filter that i modified to have more filtering capacity. In it i have...

So im confused about calcium and iron absortion. Does calcium inhibit iron absorbtion or the other way around? My lfs said that kale and spinach isnt good to feed them because it can block the calcium absorbtion, but a recent search i found out that it might be the opposite. Please help soon.

So i know that tetras are in the piranha family, but would a group of 15 in a 29 be agressive to a keyhole cichlid or a group of kuhlis? (i dont actually have these fish yet)

So my recently resuced red eared slider has been shedding skin, maybe? It may be algea coming off but idk. Is this okay? Its like that on her legs too, he scutes are shedding off, but the shellrot that she had is still there, i hadnt cleaned it out for a while now but there is more junk in...

Would black neon tetras and neon tertas school together?
