I have a 29 gallon jungle planted tank. I recently added 6 juvie honey gouramis to my tank 2:4 M:F. Will they be too aggressive to each other? These are the true Honey variety, not the DG variants. I also have 15 CPDs and 6 peacock gudgeons in my tank. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah I give fish back to the lfs, not the shrimp though. :(

Yeah my 75%+ plant cover tanks pretty much never get a vacuum. Just make sure you have a healthy (read: not explosive) population of MTS. Sand is an issue sometimes since detritus just floats on top of the sand, but if you have enough plants you can't see it anyway.

my tank is pretty heavily planted, pretty much 100% plant cover. It is also open top. Current inhabitants 6 peacock gudgeons, about an inch or so long (planning to cull this down to 2-4 when they get bigger.) 7 celestial pearl danios 1 apistogramma borelli 2 guppies. I'm looking for a mid...

Like has been stated, I would be more concerned with them not being able to get anything to eat.

It's barely been a month and I can't stop the itch to buy more fish... This is a 29 gallon, densely planted tank, 2213 Eheim. 2 Bolivian Rams (non-mated pair) 1 Apisto Agissizi (female) 2 Mini Chocolate Gouramis (eyespot gourami, these only get to about 1.5 in) 5 Praecox Rainbows (1M:4F) 7 CPDs...

I'd get some dwarf cichlids for some bottom dwelling fish. 4-5 Bolivian Rams - hardy, good color, personable - mine eat from my hand. If a M/F mating pair forms, rehome the rest. I prefer these over the more sensitive and warm (80F+) water German Blue ram. Your tank might be good with 2...

Yeah I think I'm gonna wait, but my LFS just got a big shipment of apistos... Must resist... at least until my filter adjusts to the rainbows. The tank has been up about 8 months now. I dose EI so Im pretty religious about the water change. Maybe I'll rehome my harlequins... Ahhh need more...

Well, I am considering adding a single apisto.. I can't seem to get over the urge to buy more fish... I'm 8 months into this hobby, and I've already rehomed and restocked The entire tank once! I guess I could do this when or if the Bolivian rams pair up.. One of my rams currently is defending...

29 gallon eheim 2213, dense 65% planted, I water change weekly. 3 Bolivian rams 8 CPDs 8 harlequin rasbora 5 praecox rainbows 5 otos Lots of activity. Should I upgrade filters?

Pretty sure in established planted aquariums, diatoms appear due to insufficient lighting and/or nutrient imbalance. Brown Diatom Algae Aquarium Algae ID (updated May6th '10 Surface Skum)

New life spectrum.

Buy a few otos, or increase your lighting

I always thought rainbows required schools! I'll look into them, hopefully they don't jump since my tank is open top.

Canister filter, eheim classics or fluval -- dead silent, good filtration. I've never used any other type of filter, but I can't imagine anything being better. You can get a used 2217 (way more than enough) for 80 bucks, 2215 for probably 50-60, and 2213s run 30-40. All used of course.

Hello folks, I have a 29 gallon mostly planted tank at the moment. Current occupants 3 Bolivian Rams (aiming for M/F pair) 8 Harlequin Rasbora 8 Celestial Pearl Danio I am looking for another type of fish that will fit into the community. I don't think I want another schooling species, so...

Having just started a DP tank in a 7.9gal (the fluval Ebi) last week with 2 puffers in it, I would suggest for your tank, 2 would be the ideal quantity. My puffers have very defined territories and I'm a little worried that there isn't enough room for them to avoid boredom. I'm very tempted to...

I apologize if I have rubbed anyone the wrong way. I did not intend to offend anyone. I mentioned that I was a first year student, which I assume in no way constitutes 'credibility'. I'm learning, I started my aquariums because I wanted to learn about fish, aquatic plants and their...

I started in this hobby about a month ago and having read through numerous forums, I could not help but notice this trend of resistance towards 'bacteria in a bottle' despite evidence by many users to the contrary. I am a first year mathematical biology student and one of the first things you...

I'm currently using a eheim 2213 with a 425gph powerhead on a 29, densely planted, seems to be fine. But then again I just started a month ago.

I also wanna add, tanks cycled in 5 and 12 days, with fish from day1

Safestart, Q & A With Tetra about Tetra SafeStart I've done 2 tanks, full loads, no deaths. Don't do water changes

I started in the hobby about a month ago, with this ebi and a 29 gallon that's growing pretty well overall. The 29 gallon currently has a Eheim 2213 + koralia powerhead which I'm tempted to get a 2215 for and use the 2213 for the 7.9... A little worried a 2213 would be too much filtration...

You can have a planted tank without co2, th key is balance. Low light, low co2, low ferts. Low light, with co2 wont accomplish much, as high light and no co2. Again the key is balance. The easiest thing to adjust is the amount (intensity) of light -- by increasing or decreasing the distance...

I was under the impression, ottos and shrimp produced very little waste? The 7.9 gallon seems to be just abut the minimum amount of space for the dwarves; they nip when they see each other, and the dominant one hogs all of the food, but for the most part they stay on their sides of the tank. I...
