Awesome! I see we have similar tastes- i have a 37 with marbled hatchets and black neons, and i had corys. I havent messed with angels though. I'm interested to see how that goes for you! Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Well, in my 37 gallon tank I have 9 black neon tetras, 3 marbled hatchetfish, a guppy, and a clown pleco. I had some pygmy corys, but thy all gradually died. It wasn't one cause, but they didn't do well. The last couple, the pleco mightve bullied a bit. My question is, is there any catfish I...

Ummm with glassies I'd say even 4 would be pushing it- and that would be for a 20 gallon. For some cool looking fish for a 10 gallon, maybe try harlequin rasboras or maybe pencilfish. Just some off-the-wall suggestions that are a bit different! Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I'd think not, but it may be possible. But with panda cories to albino panda cories yes. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Thanks bigreds, this is just the type of thing I was looking for! Lol i doubt this will happen soon, but in the future I hope to have 3 or 4 freshwater tanks, and a nice nano reef like yours. The goby and shrimp are symbiotic right? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I've never had a saltwater tank, but it seems cool. My main worries: 1-The fish need more room since they are generally from coral reefs somewhere, so instead of the 10 or 20 gallon tank I actually have space for, I would need like 75 gallons to start out, and 2- salt is expensive, coral and...

Thanks both of you guys. Did you say banana plant? I think I've seen those in substrate before, would that be okay??? I'll try swords, maybe another kind of crypt since my crypts are doing so well, java moss.... I'm also getting driftwood, so I can put a couple anubias on that and replace my...

My black neon tetras are okay with bright lighting, with some floated pennywort. Be careful, but platys or guppies would do decent with high lighting, and as much as I really prefer different fish because they are so messy, thy are extremely hardy. If you have half a dozen or so platys, the...

Yeah, pass em on. Next time you cycle a tank, get the hardiest fish from your planned fish (I cycled with 4 black neon tetras) and old filter media, 8-12 days and it was done because of the old filter media. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Go for a nice colony of 3 shrimp with big plant tangles. Lol, so many posts for this thread. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Well i have half a bottle of liquid co2, but i didnt ever dose it in my 37 gallon because i read it was bad for vals. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

This is a narrow leaf java fern i have on a piece of petrified wood. It grew super super fast, doubled in size in a month. Then it started on a weird melt thing and has holes all through it, even the new leaves start rotting while their still small. Anyone know why? Also, i still appreciate any...

Okay cool. Hey brian- i think i recall you live inthe Phoenix valley. Any good places? I like the PetShop in mesa, is there any other place to check out Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

He hurt the valisneria a bit, apart from that nah Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

If its possible, algae eaters do help. I heard Flying Foxes (may be large for 37 g) eat any algae, even bba. And my clown pleco has taken care of all the diatoms and green spot algae in my 37 gallon, but i haven't gotten any bba, thank goodness. Also, plants like hornwort and anacharis are...

Okay thanks. Doesn't hornwort float though? Thats what I have pennywort for. If there is a way to keep them anchored, it would be nice to know. Also, i read java moss might make a good carpet. Has anyone had experience with this? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Hey all. I have a 37 gallon tank. I attempted to plant it at the start, and now all I have left is some nice looking crypts and scraggly pennywort. My jungle vals all melted, and my java fern did fantastic on its rock until a month ago, when it just started falling apart. I have decent LED...

Well, from what I've read.... If you want an arrowana, go buy a 30 by 30 foot tank and a new house to put it in. Lol, good luck! Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I've found that once ammonia and nitrite are down, they say that way for me. Nitrate, however, creeps up on me. I try and keep it 5-15, but it gets up to thirty if I wait too long. Especially if you have plants which typically float, the plants are absorbing a decent amount. you may want to do...

Online plants are cheap- and then you add 50+ bucks of shipping and the possibility some plants will die- so unless you can't get them within your county area, maybe avoid online.

Okay- with moonlight gouramis I was slightly pushing size.... I don't know if I could get more of them, however I may be able to return them. I actually originally wanted pearls but my lfs hasn't had them in stock for six months so they suggested moonlight gouramis. They also only had females...

I have had a pair of female moonlight gouramis for a couple days now. They are definitely both female, via my diagnosis and the guy at the lfs who i know has had 20+ years fish experience. They seemed to exhibit fairly normal gourami behavior, but tonight I was a bit surprised. I have to say...

In my 37 gallon I decided to get plants awhile back- the baby tears died, and at first my red jungle vals melted, but they came back great. Now they are melting again. I just have the basic LED lighting that came with the aquarium, no CO2, in gravel fert pellets.... My pennywort is thriving at...

If the algae on the glass is brownish and you have some spare room in the tank, maybe consider a half dozen otocinclus- or even a clown pleco or bristlenose pleco. I got a clown a couple days ago, and despite most sources saying that they won't eat algae, it has started scraping off some...

I've gotten bettas to live a few years from Petsmart, but time and time again I've had their fish die within three days- except for an ich-mottled bath of black neon tetras I cured and have had for three years. I've seen five dead fish in a tank and the others eating them and then someone buys...
