For a 30 gallon that would be too overstocked. The rule of thumb is an inch of fish per gallon, so with a 30 gallon your looking at 30 inches of total fish. When you put a fish in assume its full grown size, tiger barbs usually get around 3 inches the pleco 6 inches at full size so that's 12...

I have a fluval in a tank in my room now, barely noticeable I love it.

One of my 2 pictus catfish I have looks pregnant and has been hiding in a small cave created by the way my driftwood lays. I just noticed today when I feed them when it came out to eat its stomach is big, but the rest of its body looks normal, my other one is the smaller of the 2 and is doing...

Well I raised the temp to 82F the fish seem that they adjusted well it says it will shorten the lifespan of it, the ick is getting better on the fish, falling off, they say to dose every 48 hours so tomorrow will be the 2nd dose after a 25% water change. my dollars are swimming around and eating...

I added the medicine, after the 50% water change also added the chlorinator because chlorine in the water wouldn't be any good I feel. I set my temp at 82F and have the bubbler at full oxygen along with the filter running. How often should I add the medicine its API's super ICK cure and I added...

I have API super ick cure , ok I will turn up the temp and oxygen levels.my nitrites are at .50 ppms

I just spotted ICk on my fish today, I tested my water and found no ammonia but high nitrites, still have good nitrates. Last night it tested the same thing so I did a big 40% water change, vaccummed and changed the cartridge first time in 8 weeks. Yesterday I didn't think they were sick, saw so...

Hi everyone and thanks for reading!   I've always really wanted a Dempsy and I've did my reading up on them but Id like to hear from you guys. My dad had one when he was younger in a 30 gallon that did fine with a couple other fish, ive read a single jack dempsy can be in at least a 30 gallon...

My Bolivian Ram   Red Tailed Shark Opaline Gourami   and my Albino Britlenose   Also could anyone sex any of these, im pretty sure the shark is a female but not sure about others. Thanks!

No I've been watching the tank for awhile but none of the fish bother him since I removed the tiger barbs 2 days ago.   He is still shy and hasn't been bothering any of the fish yet at least. the ram has been chased by the RTS a few times actually but no nipping quick 1-2 sec chases.     The...

Okay will do

Yea I was going to look for them and add them but the lfs only had 2. I just added a bolivian ram to my tank and will probably get some giant danios to school in it, or celebs rainbows
