Wondering what other fish to add. I'd like something bright and colorful that will get along with the other barbs, and I think that means more barbs which was the plan to begin with. Cherry, rosy, odessa, other...any suggestions?

Tried to catch her a bunch of times to QT her and couldn't get her. Was going to try again today, but she has completely regained her color over the last 24 hours! Not sure what she had going on. Thanks for all of the suggestions, folks. I now have an idea of what I need to do for a terminally...

Since pics are what matters...New shots from tonight. Got some diatoms, but not too bad. They've just made things look a bit brown. The Denison barbs are in there now too. Very cool fish. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks, folks. I'm gonna watch the girl and see how she does. She's staying with the rest of her school and doesn't seem to be causing the other fish problems. I wish I knew what was wrong. To put her on a fast, does she need to be moved to the QT? Can't think of how else to keep her from eating.

I tried catching her for a half an hour or so... She isn't paralyzed when she does the nose down thing. She's a quick little fish. I was going to move her to a QT for observation, but I guess she's staying where she's at. lol

Correction...nitrates are closer to 10ppm when checked just now. :)

Hello All. I have a tiger barb that has become disabled and I'm wondering if any of you know what it is and how to treat it. She (I think she's a girl due to her being more round shaped, which I read was a way to tell the difference) has gone quite pale over the last week or so and now seems...

Super cool. :thumb: Following.

Give each one a root tab. They'll thank you for it. :)

Picture or it didn't happen... ;)

Liking the rocks and the wood! If it were me, I would rather have something under the rock to disperse the weight...but it should be all right. I think your stocking plan looks pretty good. I'm not all that familiar with plant types, especially regions they're from. You could check at...

You rock! Thanks! You get your coupon for TFP for this weekend? 30% off all aquatic livestock and plants... I'll be there Saturday morning. :)

Now you're just rubbing it in... ;) Looks awesome!

New pic! Moved my fish over last night. Plants have filled in a good bit too. Any suggestions?

Her and HN1 sell fish and snails and stuff. Check them out in the classifieds.

I wouldn't put anything else in there until the tank is finished cycling. My $0.02.

Thanks, man...means a lot.

Here you go! Hope to get a better one later. Seems that the pics are better when taken at night.

I wish I had the patience to do that, eco. I can't wait...ever. I need the instant gratification. I like to buy my fish from places that already quarantine their fish before they sell to me.

Agreed. If you can consistently pull that quality out, you could quit your job and sell that stuff full time!

Suppose that was a figure of speech. What I meant was they eat it rather voraciously. The BN Pleco, the cories and even my barbs will all go after it as soon as it's dropped in. I use a small chip clip to sink it down too, btw.

It does. I would personally probably go with one large school. But, if you want differing colors it's an option.

Excellent job on this, BigJim. I hadn't read this thread before and just sat down and read the whole thing. The tank looks fantastic! I'm really impressed with how well the plants have done and the overall design of things. :thumb:
