Hey guys! I'm just looking for some advice on one of my cherry barbs. He has great coloration, likes to chase other fish around, eats, and seems fine EXCEPT for the fact that he swims funny in the way that he sinks instead of floats and when he is not doing the above activities, he likes to just...

Thanks guys :) so does anyone know if I can add the glass cats?

Hey guys! So i finally got my 50 gallon tank setup. I have a marineland c-220 on it and my nitrogen cycle is almost complete. It's moderately planted as you can see in the picture. I'll be adding a cap of black sand soon on top of the flourite as I don't really like the color. I'm trying to pick...

Thank you

Is there possibly a brand you know of off the top of your head?

Haha that's true!

I agree I'm not sure I know of any times that a fish would want gravel.

If I'm bumping up the khulis then will I need to cut some other fish out?

Alright I guess I'll just have to experiment! Haha thanks again

Great thank you! Ya the hatchets will hopefully be safely enclosed under my lids. If they jump and hit themselves will they injure themselves?

bumping in hopes of an answer
