I tried real plants in my tank and to be honest it requires much more work... but they do help keep the tank clean. On the other hand I had some fish eating my plants. IDK who or why but it bothered me. Anyway I currently have plastic in my tank. Its neat because now they have plastic plants...

I have had them in about 3 days. I took out the inserts a few min ago and I have everything else running. How long do I keep the inserts out for?

I have a bio-wheel marineland filter. Yes, I can remove the carbon inserts. So does that mean If I remove the inserts I can still keep the filter running?

I say go for african...yellow labs are beautiful, red top zebras, diamond jewels...all would make a great african tank.

I got some fish from the pet store and I noticed one had ick. I did not feel like going back to the store for an exchange so I purchased an ick/ich away treatment formula. I read the back and it says 1 tsp for every 10 gal. Then it says to remove any carbon filter before use. I have a carbon...

Maybe a swordtail pair??? Guppy or 2, mollies???...any would be great! Snails are good 2! Helps keep the tank clean. Maybe get a large one?

Maybe a guppy? 3 at the most... If you go with guppys make sure you get all females. If you want a male make sure you only have one. I find that males like to fight over the females. An african dwarf frog would be neat too!

Hey guys, Im not new to fish tanks but new to this forum. I currently have a 10 gallon home of three small veil angels and an algae eater. I am upgrading to a 29 gallon. I just wanted to know what you guys would suggest I should add in with the angels. I was thinking maybe a red tail shark...
