So here's my decided stock list: 1 Dwarf Gourami 3 guppies (1 male - 2 females) 1 Mystery Snail? or Nerite snail (If I can find one) about 6 ghost shrimp Decided against the platy because it just seems like a huge addition to the bioload. I've had platies in the past and although they are...

If I do get two female and one male guppy, anyone have any advice for breeding? Any links about caring for fry?

That's a really cool suggestion! Thanks!!!

I'll have to look online for the snails. Any good recommendations on where to find them? As far as veggies for the snails, what would you say they'd eat? Would algae wafers work or no?

Indeed Nerites look so cool. Not entirely sure where to get them though. Not sure I trust mailing them for the sake of them possibly dieing on the way. I suppose I can try the ghost shrimp for now. I have a few rather large ones in my bigger tank that I can transfer over. They might be too much...

possibly. I'm still debating on the Platy.

Any shrimp suggestions on the color side? :cool:

1. Would those coexist with shrimp/fish well? 2. would you consider them hearty?

I love my ghost shrimp. They are feisty little guys and when it comes to feeding time, they are all over the place. So fun to watch. My problem is that I've had a few mystery snails in the past and they always died on me. Might have been just bad snails from the store but Im not sure. I suppose...

Honestly ghost shrimp are the only shrimp I've had experience with. Any suggestions? In my experience with them, I never had fry so Im not knowledgeable as far as fry/shrimp rivalries. Ive never had luck with snails. Mystery snails seem so sensitive to me. any suggestions on snails and shrimp?

just look at the top post :thumb: Mkay. Just making sure I know all the twists and bends before I consider getting anything.:fish2:

So the grand total would be: 1 dwarf gourami 1 platy 3 guppies (2 females 1 male) And shrimp That sounds good? Not over packed or anything of the sort? Another question. I know Platies have a large bioload but what about gourami's? It it safe to assume that since it's a "larger" fish that...

How about: 1 Dwarf Gourami 1 Platy 2 fancy guppies ? ghost shrimp Too much?

I also considered getting a betta or a Honey Dwarf Gourami but I know nothing about gourami. Do they require anything specific? What exactly would the Betta and/or Gourami be compatible with?

Hi. I'm starting/finishing a 10g fishless cycle. Ammonia/Nitrites are both at 0ppm. Probably going to give it a few more days to make sure the ammonia gets eaten up after one more dose. Nitrates are at 20ppms which I believe is a good number. I'm simply interested in all suggestions and opinions...

Indeed I installed a heater. Its an older one from a past tank that works perfectly but the tank is now at a lovely 78-80 degrees :D When you mentioned the plants that concerned me. Dang petco person said they were safe to have in the 5 gallon tank. What a con artist. Thats disappointing. Then...

Hiya. I'm Kayde, a 20 year old working girl with a bit of an animal obsession. I've owned animals my entire life and I never plan to change that. I've had quite a variety of animals throughout my life, mostly birds but not the ordinary kind. Currently I have two tanks. I have a 20 gallon tank...

I finally got my Betta the proper tank size! 5 gallons! And its pretty nice if I do say so myself. The betta I have is a King Half-moon Male. Pretty large in size and rather feisty as well. I was curious what is compatible with this betta or if the tank would be too small to support perhaps...

My shark is rather aggressive and territorial of her large hiding spot. She doesn't like the barbs but not so much as to actually hurt them. She's too shy to let me show her off I think though.

Indeed. I'm possibly buying a 55 gallon soon as a sale is currently going on at a local store. would that size support large schools like that and the shark?

This thread houses two questions that I've wanted to find information on. #1 Recently I bought a Betta. Got the proper water, food, and the like. The tank/container I bought for him is 1 gallon with a live plant inside. What type I would have to look at the tag. One, is 1 gallon too small...
