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...

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...

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...

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...

In my fairly well-established (5 months now) 37 gallon tank, with good ammonia and nitrate levels, i have some Endler's Guppies. For the first month they schooled with the tetras I have, and gradually became more brave and broke off. In the past week they were doing a bit of occasional chasing...

In my 37 gallon, I have black neons, corydoras habrosus, some endlers, and hatchetfish. They are all now EXTREMELY competitive for food, and I am now feeding them twice a day vs once. The guppies are actually picking at the corys large sinking pellets, and one of the tetras followed suit. The...

Well with the near completion of my 37 gallon show tank I have a new project in mind- breeding guppies. I have my old 10 gallon, so I'll just use that... I'll probably take out the decoration, switch and out the gravel and water, and plant it... Some java moss at the bottom, a bit of pennyowort...

In my half stocked (not even half actually) 37 gallon, i have some vals, a couple crypts, floated pennywort, and java fern on a piece of petrified wood (rock) and a plastic decoration taking up a bit less than half the tank. Eight months ago i found a large cool piece of driftwood, but I already...

I have a (hopefully) final plan for stocking my low tech moderately planted 37 gallon. After talking with a guy at the lfs, I decided: 14 black neon tetras (i cycled with 4, added 5 today- getting along great, full color is back), 6 marbled hatchetfish, 12 corydoras habrosus, 2 pearl gouramis...

I recently noticed that some of the more commonly seen members get more help when they post. Ive been around for a year and sometimes I don't get answers. Could we try and help out more, especially if theres none or few responses?

Another stocking idea I have had- keep all the fish small. Before I wanted large corys, amongst angelfish and black neon tetras, in my 37 gallon. But how does this sound: 5 rummy nose tetras, 6 marbled hatchetfish, 8 black neon tetras, 9 pygmy corys, 10 neon tetras, a few assassin snails and...

In my new 37g, I have live plants for the first time. My favorite is the pennywort, one branch in particular has 5 new leaves in three weeks, I have it floating. I have a java fern on a rock, it is now attached and has 2 or so of those little runner plants... My two little crypts each have a new...

Hi- I have a fairly new 37 gallon. I have done a fish in cycle with 4 black neon tetras, and about 3 weeks later with 0 ammonia and nitrites I will be adding 4 more black neons. Next will come either julii or pepper corydoras (7), and 6 marbled hatchetfish. However, I am unsure of the other...

A year ago I had a run in with ich that took several fish from me. It can be sad and frustrating. I would like to help others with this problem and maybe save a couple fish in the process. First of all, if you quarantine your fish you will have much less to worry about. Now that that has been...

Anyone wanna talk about quantum theory? Anyone else know what quantum theory is?

Well, I'm finally getting my 37 gallon set up, about 7 months behind the planned schedule. Instead of creating a few dozen different threads whenever i have a question, I can just use this. My first question is, does this decoration take up too much space? I got it for $30 and its not...

I am currently setting up a 37 gallon, moderately planted, community tank that will have tetras, hatchetfish, corys, and some dwarf cichlids. I am most interested in apistogramma cacatuoides, apistogramma agassizii, or flag cichlids. I have one plastic driftwood decoration, will have a couple...

After long last I have built my stand, bought my 40 gallon tank and all accessories, and I have a few questions regarding the stocking. I have 4 black neon tetras right now that will be transferred to the tank (I had 8 but its been almost 3 years and they've started to die off), and then I will...

I am setting up a tank soon,planted 40 gallons with 8-12tetras (probably black neon tetras but maybe cardinals), 2 pearl gouramis, 7 corys(leaning towards peppered but may change my mind and get 15 pygmys), 6 marbled hatchetfish, and maybe a clown pleco or some ottos eventually, depending on how...

Most sites say its ok to have them singly. Im setting up a 40- i want to put a pearl gourami in it. Should i get a male or female? Im leaning towards a female, becuase i dont want a territory claimed up at the top of the tank, ill b getting hatchetfish. Ive also heard that they are much more...

I want to get a pleco in my 40 gallon im setting up. Not a common or bristlenose, those need at least 55 gallons. I want a clown pleco. They only get around 4" at most, and are suitable for a 30 gallon according to multiple sites. My aunt has a common plecostomus in a 55 gallon for eight years...

I will soon be getting some marbled hatchetfish, pepper corydoras, and more black neon tetras for the 40 im setting up. I would prefer no breeding, but is it likely these fish will breed? I will also have one male gourami, but there's no breeding there :). My big concern is the Cory's, I've...

I am in the process of setting up my 40 gallon (at last)! It will be planted, but no too heavily. I have the tank, decor, and Eco-complete. But I have some questions. I think I need more filtration, but it is not necessary. If i got more filtration the only difference is i would add a few male...

I am setting up a new low tech 37 gallon tank. It has medium lighting (around 3 watts per gallon i think) and no co2 dosing. I will use flourish tabs a few times a year to keep up the iron. My substrate is Eco complete, mixed with a little bit of plain black silicone sand. The plants i plan to...
