    Golden dwarf cichlids

    Hi. Looking to add some dwarf goldens. Is there a certain number I should have? Will they get along with my 2 dwarf gouramis? I have a 40g long. Swordtales, neons, Corys, gouramis and black skirt tetras. Also need a good algea eater that won't get super big. Looking for a bristle nose, but...

    Dwarf gourami help

    They are doing good, a little slow getting the blood worms I drop in, blackshirts suck them up quick. Sometimes one of them pokes at the other, but I've seen them share a veggie wafer, so that's a good sign.

    Dwarf gourami help

    I asked for a M/F pair - the LFS guy said he couldn't tell the difference. My bad for not thinking they would know. I'm learning to do my homework so I don't have to ask questions.

    Dark blue stripe on dwarf gourami

    bought 2 dwarf gouramis yesterday - One is reddish with turquoise stripes, today it looks to have a very dark blue diagonal line that I didn't notice yesterday. It is on both sides. He/she is a little timid. The other one is more orange in color, not timid, but one of his pelvic fins were...

    Dwarf gourami help

    The noise thing worries me, it's next to the TV (with a sound bar). No one running around. They have plenty of places to hide, and plan to add some floating plants and plants.

    Dwarf gourami help

    Just wondering if it sounds okay for them. I use aqua adviser was going to add zebra danios, but I'd like two nice looking fish, instead of another group flying around the tank.

    Catfish wafers

    About a half hour after lights out I add some sinking wafers for my peppered Corys. My black skirt tetras and sword tales have now all become bottom feeders. It cracks me up when a black skirt tries to swim away with a wafer. The swords are pigs and gobble up all the bloodworms I serve in the...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Swapped out 1/3 of my gravel for black sand in a 40g long SeaClear tank and cleaned it. Tank is 6 weeks old, I have two neons that have survived for 3 weeks after PetCo told me to use them to cycle, they sold me 4. Can't wait to gets Corys, that is why I did the switch.

    corydoras

    Looking to get some Corys, just spent the day removing half my gravel from a 40g Seaview and replacing it with 13 lbs of black sand because they like sand. Tank looks good except for the tannins that are staining the water. Thought the mopani was done leaching

    It was Petco. Yesterday I had my water tested again and they said pH was at 8, but everything else looked good. Told me a 40 gallon should take about 7 weeks. I have 3 neons left, just going to wait it out

    Rumneynose swimming funny

    I have a friend who is getting rid of their tank, she has 4 swordtails left, doesn't know what to do. I'm going to take them, along with some gravel, and cross my fingers. The mopani wood has a nice thick layer of fungus on it, I know it won't hurt fish, but will it disrupt cycle? Off to bed...

    Rumneynose swimming funny

    Store told me neons were good to cycle. I'm not too concerned with pH, I had a 20 gallon before that was lost in a fire, and we never had any issues. We used goldfish to cycle. This time I've been reading on things and trying to do it "right" Should I see a spike in ammonia levels before...

    Tank is a new 40 gallon. I'm running an aqua clear 50. I had 2 neons in the tank when I added the Romney and 4 other tetras. Rumney lasted 2 days, also down two neons as of this morning. My ph is 7.6, temp 76 nitrates and nitrites appear to be 0. I have two pieces of mopani wood, 2 ceramic...
