I really wanted these fish. They are not working out. I have bought 5 total, all 5 have died. One is unaccounted for and assumed among the dead. I bought 2 first, than 3. The only things I have noticed is they all seem stressed, two have had trouble swimming in the flow, and one was skimming...

My 40g long is fully cycled, with 0 ammonia, Nitrites, about 10ppm nitrates, pH about 7. I just stocked it yesterday with 3 golden zebra loach, 4 australian rainbowfish, and 2 boesemani rainbowfish. I know I'm close if not a bit overstocked once everyone matures. But it's not too bad right? My...

I need advice. I have one feeder goldfish who survived my fish-in cycling. Pet store said they'll take him back, but they'll likely just resell him as a feeder fish. I kinda feel responsible for him and don't want to give him back. Problem is this is a planted tank and I plan to have Boesemani...

Backstory: 29g, sand substrate, moderately planted. Started cycling with seachem stability. One week fishless. 2nd week with 5 danios. 3rd week added 2 opaline gourami and 6 ghost shrimp. Up until I added the gourami my water parameters were looking good. I had no nitrates and very low...

I have a 30g I will be stocking, and I was thinking 1 angelfish 5 Cory's (emerald or sterbai maybe) 10 black tetras Some fancy guppies? Or instead of angel, maybe a gourami. But I like angels best and had kept a beautiful pair before. Thinking bamboo shrimp too, would they be large enough not...

Hi all, I've dabbled in fresh and saltwater, planted and fowler. Largest tank was 55g. Been out of the hobby for a few years, decided to have kids and they are a handful as is. Kids are getting old enough though to appreciate a tank so I decided to jump back in. Planning to restore a 30g...
