i third the harlequin rasboras, my school is only 10 right now, but SOO much fun to watch and less skittish then my silver dollars!

I would also move the neons OR the platies into the 10 gallon, not the danios for the same reason as stated above. Glass fish depending on what you have tend to be schoolers adn will do better in a school Mollies can be quarelsome so if things are good I would NOT change your numbers there at...

Cause of the ammonia? meaning that they died from being placed into a tank that wasn't cycled? the pet store stock of guppies in my area is aweful stock, they are seriously overbred and fragil. I went with an online supplier and got a great home stock! In a 100 gallon I think that i personally...

its a stressful process having babies.. I'm glad that she is doing much better!

welcome to AA!

yep good advice was giving here. in the morning all fish tend to be a bit more dull, hiding from predators and the darkness doesn't highlight their color or (melanin)

thanks mike. I saw that comparisson earlier in the thread and thought It was possibly not correct...

hey i just want to add to the wood, that you can get it from manzanita.com 30 for 12 pieces plus shipping (40.38 for me)

What do you feed your cory fry?

nice point and great discussion!

for color, i personally would get all males but they can be fussy together.. Otherwise like stated above 1 male to every 2 or 3 females, but your tank will very quickly be over run with fry as the females will have 20-30 fry about every 30 days!

hmm not sure if peacocks are snowflakes... I know that I have had mine in a 125gallon for the last year and he is still only about 6 inches... Mine eats mostly bloodworms, but now he will eat any kind of frozen food and the occasional fry. he is in with an angel, silverdollars, cories, pleco...

well, dwarfs are usually more "Friendly" than non dwarfs, but gouramis can be very territorial amongst each other (kinda like bettas) 3 males in a 75 is a good number, i suppose you caould always try it, but have a backup plan to move them if the emergency arrises

what are you going to stock in it?

aquariumadvice.com - advice Fishgeeks.com - advice Drsfostersmith.com - equipment liveaquaria.com - got some great fish from them aquariumguys.com - equipment aquariumplants.com - plants, with great stock

i have a peacock eel, it is still small - also gets along great with all my other fish, pretty much still only eats frozen food after a whole year...

or even cynder blocks and plywood

I have 2 together, they are fine, only chase each other when a female is present

That's a good thing, things are balanced enough to prevent algae growth.. I have only had the brown algae that lasts for like maybe a month after setting up a new tank, then it's gone and wala! no more algea. however in my planted I have been fighting it hardcore, not fun.. count it as a blessing

hmm I dunno about them either have you tried the AKFA.com yet?

biggest you can go is the best. i agree about a new tank. even though they cost more places like petsmart and 'co offer a warrenty on their tanks provided they are on a real fish stand acrylic might be safer in the sense that there are no "seams" to bust out, but I can't argue for or against...

hmm it might be alright, but i think the goby would be happier in a slower calmer "preditory" type tank.. oscars are very boistrous, but who knows try it, just have a backup ready

i use a python on all my larger tanks and the ones closest to the kitchen On the smaller tanks I use a regular old syphon into a bucket and stick the gravel vac deep into the gravel than refill with aged treated tap.

Hmm,i would rather talk to their managment about training them better... so they don't feel like they HAVE to make things up, although, im not sure they would care enough... however I must say that the petsmart by me has some knowledgeable staff.. For instince they wont sell you more than 3...

the subject of airstones never seems to die really though (always new people joining the hobby and *lurking* around the forums ; ) ) I would agree that air stones really are mostly aesthetically pleasing.. They help to force the water upwards, however they really do not add to current like say a...
