Well, it would be a useful if I knew which common small aquarium fish would be okay with currents. What about other labyrinth fish like gouramis? Or small decorative fish like guppies?

I recently purchased a betta for my 30L biOrb but had to remove it as it was harassing the other fish. Some people have suggested that I ditch the other fish (neons) in favour of the betta. Now that the betta is in a bowl of its own, I have noticed that it is less neurotic in behaviour than...

I've been thinking about it and I think the betta may not have liked the biOrb because of the disturbance to the surface water caused by the inbuilt filter which bubbles up in the centre of the bowl. He seems happier now that I've moved him to a bowl by himself - but I'm still going to bring...

There's a sponge inside my undergravel filter that I have to change/wash. I think it's the design of the tank. But like I said, I already own the tank - have to use it and make the best of it!

Well, I suppose I will have to make the best out of a bad situation, huh? 10 little fish and a couple of shrimp sounds like a good idea. Anyone else have any other suggestions for little fish besides White clouds? What about guppies? or honey gourami?

Sorry, I meant 20cm of fish, not 20 inches.

It is an under gravel filter. I've only had the betta for 2 days, which is why they will take it back - I haven't had it enough time to destroy it. Ok. I checked a few fish 'calculators' based on surface water and I can have roughly 20inches of fish, but I'm only planning to stock it until...

Yes, there is a heater as well as a filter in the tank. I did try to do my homework before stocking the tank! Yes, there is a heater as well as a filter in the tank. I did try to do my homework before stocking the tank! In any case, the LFS won't accept the neons back - I've already had them...

I have a 30L biOrb fish tank that I put 6 neon tetras in a few weeks ago. Last weekend, I tested the water and it was ready for a new fish - so I bought a betta. The betta and the neons appeared to get along at first, but the next morning, all the neons had became transparent and one of them...

I'm new to the wonderful world of fish - these forums have been really useful for information on fishless cycling and fish behaviour!
