Doesn't sound overstocked, but I'd keep a close eye on those barbs in regards to the gourami. Observe for signs of nipping on the gourami, as well as if she's being harassed during feeding. I'd personally get rid of the tiger barbs and replace them with pentazona, they're less agressive. I'd...

Depends on your maintenance schedule. That sounds light-moderately stocked for the size of the tank. If you do say, 30-35 gallons worth of water changes weekly, I'd say you could add a few more fish. I'd add 3-4 more Otos, a couple more denisons, and maybe some more corys. Some type of angel...

Where I live all the lfs (and my own tank) sell 20 gallon standards, which measure 24". Cardinal tetras are one of the most beautiful fish IMO, and the ones I have ( half from liveaquaria) have adjusted well to the harder water in my area. Dwarf gouramis are also really colorful and fairly...

I've had three in a thirty gallon for about a year now, and they're 4-5" each. They were initially shy but now are out and swimming every time I pass the tank, so I'd say 3 is a fine number for them if provided with adequate tankmates and hiding places. I used to keep them with some Cardinal...

I did read what you wrote, and i still disagree in reference to this thread, which was started on the grounds of what's not recommended for beginners. And I didn't mean that buying a regular tank means it'll solve all your problems, just that you'll have less of them, and also a wider variety...

I disagree with beginners using bowls to house their fish as a good idea. It's extremely limiting to the types of fish you can house comfortably in a bowl, and I doubt most people have bowls bigger than 1-3 gallons.. If you're going to get a tank, get a tank. I wouldn't go out specifically...

Hey guys, just got in my new 34 solana barebones tank. Was originally planning on making this a reef tank but decided to instead start with a 20 for financial reasons. I may just keep this tank empty and turn it into a reef when I'm ready, if I can't think of any FW fish to stock it with...

Hello, a few days ago I decided to buy another 10 gallon because my shrimp population is 100+ now in a 10 gallon. I put about 27-28 RCS to start in the new tank, which I put a already cycled sponge filter and HOB filter with part new/used media. Anyways I acclimatized them for an hour before...

Hello all, I recently added a poso orange rabbit snail to my 10g shrimp tank, about a month ago. Everything is fine with the snail itself, I'm just worried it might not be getting enough food as there's 80-100 RCS and hundreds of pest snails. The tank is heavely planted and I try not to...

What size is the tank, filtration, planting etc.

so I ended up taking the loaches and neons, and I'm planning on finding a fish store that will take them. They seem to be doing fine and the gourami hasn't noticed them. They're actually smaller then I'd initially thought, maybe 2-3". They're great fun to watch and I might start up my 30g...

I'm aware that gouramis eat shrimp, but if I added a sparkling gourami to a 10g with say 20 RCS would it wipe them all out? Would it kill them just for fun or maybe one every couple of days? Thanks fast responses would be appreciated.

Well my opaline is around 4" and I believe the largest loach is 3-4"..I really want to help these fish but if they're going to cause problems with my other fish I might not risk it. I know almost nothing about yoyos, will they be agressive towards my cardinals too? Is 6.3-6.6 ph and 78 degrees...

Recently(ish) I shut down most of my tanks and only have a 20, 10, and 5. One of my friends who keeps fish is actually a former lfs employee, who invited me over to take a look at his tanks a few days ago, and I was quite appalled to say the least...a filthy 10 gallon with a huge pleco and...

Very good quality ingredients, try crushing the flakes a bit with your fingers if thypey seem to large.
