The tank looks a little bare but then again that might be the way you want it. The sand does look like a great improvement though... Maybe I should do that with the next tank I get :)

Bit of advise, if you get someone to watch after them make sure you really trust them. When I talked to my mother about getting a fish tank she told me a story about how she got some family member to watch after he fish of about 2-3 years and when she came back they were dead, the guy had drunk...

If any of you read my other post you know I have a 20 gallon tank with two zebra danios in it. I have them in there to help with my fish-in cycle however I have been watching them and at first they were swimming around like pals, like schooling fish should do, but now it seems the bigger one is...

The tank is only a week old and the danios have only been in the tank for about 12 hours. They don't have that high of a ammonia output do they? I know goldfish have a horrible waste output... Would barbs do better in a 20 gallon tank versus the danios? I got the tank from walmart and it was...

Alright, so shall I look into getting a larger tank or should I just let this one finish its cycle and leave these two in there and just add the guppies without getting more danios?

hmm this is becoming quiet confusing lol. I was told that barbs and danios are the best fish to help with the cycle phase of a new tank however when I went down to the only pet store we have here the guy didn't have cherry barbs, just tigers and gold. I asked the guy if they would get along with...

Thanks for the advice, I am thinking I might just do 6 danios instead of 8 to lower it down, or maybe just 5. I was wanting to get a few just so they could have a little school to go schooling in lol.

I am not sure if it is high or long. The tank is 24"L 12"w 16"h so I would guess long but I could be wrong. The danios I have now, though they are just two, have been doing laps non stop around the top of the tank and playing in the current of the filter. It is rather cute.

I was looking around on the interweb and found a few different sites that gave different advice. Most seemed to go by the rule of one inch of fish per gallon of water, yet I have also seen sites that said if you are getting small fish that you should go one fish per one gallon of water. I was...
