    Question on Rams

    Would a pair of rams be okay in a standard 20 gallon tank? If yes would there be any room to have any tank mates at all? If yes what kind? Thank you in advance. There is a person here selling a 20 gallon for $40 including stand. Rams are the only thing I am looking to do at the moment though...

    When should I be worried? Betta question.

    I bought two new bettas several weeks ago. I put one each in my shrimp tanks. 1 in a 5 gallon with only shrimp. 1 in a 10 gallon with shrimp and a mystery snail. The betta in the 10 gallon is eating really well. 5-6 pellets a day. So I am not concerned about him. The betta in the 5 gallon...

    Shell dwellers? Second question about Rams?

    Okay first question. Can anyone tell me about shelldwellers? What size tanks they do best in. What they need care wise. I know nothing about them but find them really interesting. Second question. What would be good tank mates for a pair of Blue German Rams? Tank would be 29 gallon. Live...

    10 gallon tank idea?

    So I recently had a betta die that I had for 4 years. He was in a 10 gallon tank with a Mystery snail and a small group of RCS. Since he dided I have moved the group of RCS and the snail into my dedicated shrimp tank. So I have an empty 10 gallon I would like to do something fun with. What...

    Stocking recs for a 29 gallon?

    Hey guys. I am going to be setting up a 29 gallon tank. Most likely live planted with driftwood and/or rocks. What would be a nice community stock? Maybe something with a Firemouth cichlid or Rams? Also please give me numbers because I am not really sure what the stocking numbers should be.

    29 Gallon Stocking recs?

    So you recommend only doing one pair of Rams and then cories and Threadfin Rainbows? Would blue eyed rainbows be okay too are too small? What are you think on stocking count with the different varieties? Numbers are always the thing I have the biggest issue with lol. Tank will be live planted...

    29 Gallon Stocking recs?

    The tank I will be using is one that's been set up before and I will be stocking it with stuff from currently established tanks. Also pulling a filter form a currently established tank. But you recommend setting it up with the tetras and Bristnose (if I get one) first and then running it like...

    29 Gallon Stocking recs?

    Are Rams fond of those cichlid rocks? I could put those in for hiding too. Do you recommend a specific type of tetra to go with the 4 Rams? What size school? Also could I get by with a bristlenose plec in there too?

    29 Gallon Stocking recs?

    So two pairs? (4 al together?) What else would be okay with them in the 29 or would that be about the limit I could go with them? Could I add a bristlenose pleco?

    29 Gallon Stocking recs?

    I have an empty 29 gallon tank. I was thinking of putting Rams in it. Do you guys have any recs on how many pairs of rams could go in a 29 gallon and what else I could put in with them?

    10 gallon Stock?

    I found this site that sells Blue eyes and they have this starter kit. This is too much for a 10-12 right? Even their 6-8 seems off to me. 6-8 Starter Package for 6 to 8 Gallon Aquarium Tropical Freshwater Fish for Sale 10-12 Starter Package for 10 to 12 Gallon Aquarium Tropical Freshwater...

    10 gallon Stock?

    Thank you guys for all the great advice! Do you know about how many of these types of fish I can do in the 10 gallon? If it matters its live planted. I do water changes once a week on Sundays. Filter is an aquaclear 20 gallon. Also do you think I could do one of these types with some pygmy...

    10 gallon Stock?

    How many do you think would work of each? Could I mix them with some pygmy cories and so nerite snails?

    10 gallon Stock?

    Can I get some recs on stuff I can keep in a 10 gallon tank other than a betta or puffer? I have an empty one I want to do something interesting with and I already have a shrimp tank.

    Sick Betta?

    Thank you shelliaca for you thoughtful comment. I put him in a breeder box this morning with a plant to sit in. I also added a bit of epsom salt. This evening when I checked on him he had passed. I am hoping it was just old age and not something I missed. I feel awful. Betta Platy Addict, I am...

    Betta help?

    MY betta isn't eating and has been acting strange. He is two years old (that I have had him). He has always been an eager eater but hasn't eaten for the past 2 days. He is also favoring one corner of the tank which isn't normal for him. He has never been sick in the past. He hasn't been rubbing...

    Advice on Sand or Gravel?

    I have been reading up on pool filter sand and the SafeTSorb mentioned earlier. I am a little nervous about both so thoughts from people with more experience would be much appreciated. The plants in the tank will be live low light easy care plants. I am prepared to feed fert tabs and other...

    Advice on Sand or Gravel?

    Oh one other question. I plan on putting my first Corys in this tank. Does anyone have any experience with them on these substrates? I have read they prefer sand but I don't know if its required? What would be best for them? My only other bottom feeder will be a bristlenose pleco.

    Advice on Sand or Gravel?

    I have never heard of this stuff but we do have a tractor supply close. How long have you been using it? Do you add fert tabs as well? What kind of plants do you have in it? And sorry to sound ignorant but is the lower KH bad for fish or can I have fish in it during that time? My API kit doesn't...

    Advice on Sand or Gravel?

    I have eco complete in my smaller tanks but I really cant afford that price tag for a 55 gallon. I am trying to go cheaper on this one. Unless there is a bulk price on it I don't know about? The cheapest I have found it is $24 for 20 pounds. I have heard you can use pool sand. Anyone have...

    Advice on Sand or Gravel?

    What do you guys think is better? Sand or gravel? I am setting up a 55 gallon and cant seem to decide. It will be live planted (I will fertilize of course). I will clean it with a vacuum syphon. Also any advice and pointers on sand would be appreciated. I have done lots of gravel bottoms...

    Killing Pond Snails?

    I am in Kansas so I am sure we aren't close lol. Do any of you have any experience with No Planaria and it killing snails? I have some I keep on hand for my shrimp tank, but I haven't had an experience with snails with it. I have just read it can kill them?
