Okay, I wasn't aware of that. No mollies, so I guess that will make space for the four extra cories? My options for gouramis are limited to this: As well as a 'blue gourami' from another store. I'm not sure how to get a honey gourami. That's great that neons can't breed in the tank conditions...

How do I ensure that I get male mollies? Would the people at the petsmart be able to help me? Is there a plan to fall back on if fry do hatch and don't get eaten?

I am planning to set up a 29 gallon aquarium and stock it with: 5 cory catfish 8 neon tetra 1 pearl gourami 2 dalmation mollies This is my first tank, and I really want to PREVENT (in all caps) any sort of extra fish happening at all. I don't know how to deal with them, and it would overstock my...

I am not really set on goldfish, I just like them. I just made another thread called 'Stocking a 29 gallon?'

The tank has been measured and turns out to be a 29 gallon.

I don't think they have any double tailed....how do I tell? the other options are comets, ryukins, and black moors. (also those ones with the puffy faces that I don't really want lol)

Where do you get the substrate cleaner tube things? how do you do it without disturbing the fish?

After doing some thinking, planning, consulting, googling, and more thinking, I've come up with a plan: I'll accept the offer of the large tank. I'll wait until the next dollar per gallon sale at petco and get a 20 gallon tank for my hermit crabs. I'll move the crabs into that tank, leaving...

Definitely. I may still start with my small 10 gallon tank, and then keep the big one in storage until I'm ready to use it.

That one looks great! I love it!

New tank possibility aside, here was the list I came up with for what I'd both need and like for the original 10 gallon plan. Green is need and blue is want. Both lists total somewhere around $280. Am I missing anything? Is anything on the wrong list? Links to what I chose: Heater Filter Hide...

Do you have any pictures of structures that you have made like that? It's a great idea!!

I'd love to, but the main issue with that is that I wouldn't really be able to have the tank anywhere in my room, unless I put it on the ground. I'm not sure how much weight my poor old bedside table can hold, and that's by far the sturdiest spot to put it. I don't really want to put it on the...
