Hum maybe I should replace neons by cardinal tetras, they seem to get better with angelfish !!!

Thank you for the suggestions kai ! An angelfish would be perfect for me, but I read they could EAT my neons... Is that true ? Anyone has experience with that combo ?

I'm currently preparing my 33g low tech planted stocking. Right now i'm planning to get: 12 neons 4 Panda corys 5 Dwarf Oto But id' like to add 1 or 2 cool "showcase" fish... At first I wanted to get kissing gouramis, but i heard 33g would be kinda small for them... Do you think i could keep...

I will do a hydrogen peroxide spot treatment tonight, i'll keep you updated after

I think i would go for: 2 guppies 6 neons 2 corys 3 otos Now i'll just have to find which corys are the smallest to make sure I won't be overstocking

I tested my phosphates, and they are around .25 ppm, so I guess that's not the source of the problem. I also tested PH, and it was 6, compared to 7.2 a week ago. Maybe I just don't have enough plants ?

I'm a novice currently cycling my 10 gals with 3 saggitarias and 1 java fern, but i'm having problems with my plants right now. My setup is: 2*13watt (fluocompact) Last tests: Ammonia: 2 Nitrite: 4 Nitrate: 30 No CO2 Between 12 to 14 hours of lighting / day. Very small snail appeared, but...

Thanks for your advice meegosh, you rock ! I really like the idea of getting corys, I guess it can help to keep my tank stable. But I read I need at least three if I want them to be happy. Will I be overstocking if i get 2 guppys, 6 neon and 3 small corys ? Thats looks like a little too much...

My friend gave me a cute 10 gal planted tank, and my fishless cycle is almost done ! I've done some research on which fish to get, and i’ve seen all kinds of info. As schooling fish, i’d like to get neon tetras. Sometimes they say you need a 15g, sometimes 10g is ok, depending on where you get...

I shook the bottle, and I only saw a few big bubbles appear... Nothing that looks like foam...

I started to cycle my tank 1 week ago, and now i'm wondering if I'm using the right kind of ammonia. It was bought at an hardware store, as a household cleaner, and the container says it's perfume and fragrance free, so I thought it was safe. But now i'm afraid it has surfactants in it... And it...

Found interesting stuff... Here's a good guide to the different types of lighting for aquariums: Aquarium Lighting Selection Guide: Which Aquarium Lighting System is Right for You?

Not really, but if i get some kind of plan or advice, I'm quite sure i'd be able to do it. I really like the idea. I'll google for some plans... Meanwhile if anyone tried one, I would be grateful if you send it to me. :cool:

Starting a new 33 gals. aquarium soon, and I decided to get it planted with low light plants(anaubia, java moss, maybe java fern). But I juste realized the top of my aquarium can only get one 24" fluo bulb, which gives me only 20 watts. That gets me 0,60 WPG, which is not enough according to...

Thanks for the info about filters... I think I have found something interesting in the craiglist equivalent in my area.. It's a 30 gallons, used for 1 year, including: furniture, heater, gravel, wood, decorations and background. But the filter included is a biolife wet dry. But the owner told...

Everything seems clear now, there's no reason not to have plants ! I'll definitely get some for my first tank :D

Thanks for all your useful responses, you guys rock ! Not yet, i'm currently planning the equipment set up first. I'll choose the fish while cycling. But we can exchange ideas if you'd like. I considered getting used equipement off the web, but it's pretty hard for a newbie to know if it is...

Hi everyone ! I’m glad i found this board so I could ask all my questions about fishkeeping. I have absolutely no experience, and i’m currently planning to but my first aquarium. Thanks to your site, i understood the importance of fishless cycling. I will soon get either a 33...
