I have a 10g tank that I got from Walmart and one of the sockets decided not to work anymore. Is there a way to fix it or should I just get another cover?

So this is my first live plant I've bought to put in my new tank. I just got it home, gently rinsed it off, and the whole stalk just fell off. It was only 2-3 inches big. Will it be ok or will it die because there are now no leaves. I was so excited to put my first live plant in and now this. I...

Glad to hear that. Even if my fish are small livebearers? And in that case, how many can I comfortably put in my 10g? I've got a lot of hiding places.

No, I didn't get the Betta. I knew I couldn't since I got the Endlers instead of the neons. I'll take a look at the link when I'm not working, Ty. Question about the shrimp. I read online that ghost shrimp don't do well with large numbers in smaller tanks so how many should I get. Not to...

Hi all! Ok so my original list of stocking from a previous list has altered a bit. I had decided to go with some neons, a betta, and a shrimp per your suggestions for my 10g. Unfortunately, the lfs wouldn't sell me neons since my tank has not been established for 3+ months. Fortunately, they...

Huh, I was reading this and am also confused. I read on here that you could get away with 5 Myers hatchet fish in a 10g. Is this not true?

Oh, I almost forgot. Does anyone know if the 2 air stones along with the filter are too much circulation for either the betta or the gouramis?

Ty! Now I just have to figure out which I want. Of course it'll probably depend on what the lfs has as well. Pics will definitely be posted :)

I like both of those options. :) For either of those, which fish should go in first?

Hi all! After some serious testing on my patience, my tank is finally cycled. Yay!! I have a few lists of possible stocking ideas and I wanted to double check to make sure they are ok, which would be best along with a couple questions regarding them. My tank is a 10g gallon with gravel...

Great! Thank you so much. I'll just shut up and be patient, lol. ;) I don't think my gravel is smooth enough. I'd prefer to stick with a type of gravel though, any recommendations on brands?

I'm using the api drops. Hmm, I've only been shaking the #2 nitrate bottle since it's the only one that said to. I'll try shaking them all. I guess I'm just concerned that the nitrates are converting the nitrites before they can convert the ammo. Is that even possible? On a side note, I wanted...

Me again... Lol :) Quick refresher: 10g fishless cycle that unfortunately had fish at first. I rehomed the fish. Had massive amounts of ammonia which were taken care of by a huge water change. Reading before PWC on 3/29 pH: 7.6 Ammo 8 Nitrite .25 Nitrate 0 Massive WC around 90% New reading...

Great, thanks!

Ok. I'll keep checking it to be sure to not let it stay at 0 for too long. That probably won't take long right since I have the media in it? Also, I thought I saw somewhere a kinda guideline of how much ammonia to add to your specific tank size. Am I right and if so can someone let me know...
