Love the tanks!! and welcome fellow Canadian!! :D where abouts are you from? if you don't mind me asking :)

oh no :( I really hope they survive, they're my favorite plants out of all of them :(

Is there anything else I should be getting for those red plants? Why would they die/go green??

Thanks everyone for the tips!! Would it be a problem for tiger barbs to feed on algae wafers though? I thought that they also need a more meaty diet. I will go get some better food for my shark as soon as I get the chance, I thought all sinking pellets were the same. Oups! I added a new cave for...

Oh okey, I didn' t realize it was the wrong food for him. So what should I be feeding him then?

hi, so I have a 50g tank with 14 tiger barbs, 9 serpae tetras and a tiny baby red tailed black shark that I added two days ago. So far everything everyone is coexisting very well except when it comes to feeding time. I never had any problems until I added the shark. The serpae tetras eat just as...

I cannot remember the name of the plants unfortunately. It has been up and running for about 2 months now.   Thanks in advance for...

Welcome!! Just out of curiosity, what size tank do you have and how long have you had it?

Sounds good to me, just remember that if you mix male and female guppies, platies, and swordtails you will find yourself with a ton of fry. Not sure how many would survive, and if it would be a real problem with this setup. Just wait until someone more experience can clarify this :)

I have a 55 gallon with 9 serpae tetras and 14 tiger of different color variations and have never experienced a problem so far. The tetras will chase and nip back at the tiger barbs and hold their ground very well. Don't get the long finned version though as the tiger barbs will be more...

welcome!! 11 tanks that sounds amazing! hopefully one day I will get there too :D oh, and pictures pictures pictures please!!!!!

I agree, they are the best dogs I ever had. Had another one before these two and they have the best personalities! Super loyal and willing to please but very high energy dogs, they certainly are a handful!  I agree, I think it gives her (him?) a unique look :)

Here are my two lovely ladies :D
