You think so? Let me know how it goes after adding one with your neons! I'm curious to know your experience!

I messaged you back! c:

Hi! I had considered Gouramis but apparently they can be aggressive a lot of the times and I want a happy community aquarium. I am very interested in Cherry Barbs, and now that you mention them here, I might just go with them as the shoaling fishes in the community! Mollies are very pretty but I...

My tank is currently empty. It's a 30 gallon tank, with 1 Top Fin 30 filter and 1 AquaClear 50 filter. Plenty of fake plants, and small smooth rocks as the bottom. I have hard water that is around 80F. I would like a freshwater tropical community aquarium with: • AT LEAST 1 fish that is bigger...

Thank you to all for the information! I don't think I'll be going with Gouramis anymore. They seem to be too aggressive for what I want in my tank.

Ok, I think I'm going to give up on the Gouramis then. I don't think they'll suit my tank. Thank you all for your advice!

It's a 30 gallon tank with plenty of fake plants. There are currently no fish in it because I'm still deciding.

I need help deciding what fish I should have in my tank. The tank will also include about 6 to 9 small shoaling/schooling fish like Cherry Barbs or some kind of Tetras (still deciding). What would you recommend? My ideas are: - 3 male PEARL Gouramis? Is it safe to only have males? - 3 male...

So I'm about to restart my tank after many months! My step dad wants me to get bigger fish this time. I'm thinking of going for Pearl Gouramis. I don't mind having more than 1 together in the same tank, but I do NOT want them to breed. So I was thinking of getting 2 or 3 males to make a...

NLS Small fish formula Good idea!

Our range - New Life Spectrum Premium Fish Food for Colour and Vitality There are so many kinds, I don't know which to get. Right now I have 2 Platy fish, and I plan to get 2 more Platys and a school of Cherry Barbs in the future. And maybe some large-enough shrimp (if I ever find any) or Cory...

Hmm, not sure how to tell if they're white or grey. Definitely no brown. Everyone seems to think it's a lack of light. I'm going to test giving them more light and see how they react. I'm going to try rolling them in my hands more often too, to remove any dirt.

...I don't know if this thread goes here, to be honest. Well, my Marimos right now are really grey. I thought they would enjoy a tank with water that is kept healthy, and some fish poop as fertilizer, and hardly any light. But they are really grey, so I guess there's something I'm doing wrong...

Ok, I'm still not going to be home. So I asked my mom how they're doing. There supposedly isn't that much poop with sounds pretty good, no more huge piles. She said most of them are just dots of poop, not huge strings like before. I told her to put a tiny pinch of flakes now, don't want the...

It was 0.25 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate. But this morning, because of the poop and uneaten pea pieces, the ammonia rose to 0.50. I changed 1 gallon of the water now, and removed all the pea pieces and poop. And for precautions, added some more prime, and after some time I added some bottled...

Ok, well this morning, I see they didn't eat all the pieces of peas, but I'm sure they ate most of it. Seems the slightly bigger chunks, they didn't like. I don't notice any twisting side to side with poop coming out of them... yet. It may happen again. At least they don't look like they'll...

Ok, I mashed 2 peas and picked out tiny pieces and dropped them into the tank. They are picking at the pea pieces continuously, but most of them times they don't swallow the whole piece. Either way, I think they're getting the peas into their system. I really hope they feel better tomorrow.

I just have NO luck with fish, my first fish died in 3 weeks because I used a 3 gallon tank to quarantine him, and the ammonia rose very quickly. Then these 2 new fish got a sort of ich at the beginning of their quarantine, but they healed. Now, they're very constipated today. I just hope I...

I have two male platys in a 10 gallon quarantine tank. Yesterday, I noticed the blue one's tail fin and top fin were getting dark edges. Today, I find the fins are still with dark edges, and he's swimming oddly: twisting side to side. The red one doesn't have dark edges on his fins, but he's...

Ahhh I see. Well, seems they've cooled down now. I don't see any more chasing or pecking.

Did nitrates also read 0? If so, not good. Ammonia should be 0, nitrites 0, and nothing over 20ppm of nitrates.

So I came back from the university, and the fish seemed to be more behaved, the red one seemed to only be following the blue one around, but not pecking at him. After changing the water, the red one continued following the blue one. After I did something else, and came back to check on them, the...

Also, so far, the little blue one doesn't seem to be too stressed out by the big red bullying. He still swims around quite freely, but more cautiously.

10 gallons.

I bought 2 platys about 3 weeks ago from the same lfs, but they were in a different tank, and the employee put them both in the same bag for me. Then I put them both in a quarantine tank. All that time until today, they were very nice to each other and swam together in peace. Now today I...
