Thank you so much for the info! I think I'll go with the oddball setup up there with the glass cats and single dwarf, and I think I'll use harlequins. Currently I have the 4 platys in the tank, which group would you suggest adding next?

@Kitty Kat and notg - You're lifesavers, thank you for the great replies! I don't know where I came up with this idea last night, but, for some reason, it came to me, and I think it might be interesting as a unique/oddball stocking for the 29: 4x Platys (1m 3f) 6x Panda Corys 5x Glass Catfish...

Thanks notg! That's the concern I was having. I kinda want to have a peaceful tank with no real issues with infighting. :lol: Are Honey Gouramis much different than dwarfs in terms of behavior? In all that I've read, it's said that they're the most docile of the gourami species, does that...

My original plan was: 1 angelfish 2 dwarf gourami (a neon blue and a flame) 6 corys I WAS going to go with 6 cherry barbs and 6 harlequin rasboras for my schooling fish, but, in light of my newfound appreciation for platys, I have to alter that plan, I think. Could the above stocking idea...

Hey all! It's been a while since I've posted here, mainly because I've just been keeping up with my small 5g betta tank and making sure that's running smoothly, which I'm happy to say, it certainly is. That said, I have a 29 gallon tank all set up, cycled and all. I decided to ditch the idea of...

Thanks for the info, it's much appreciated! I haven't done a cycle, no, and, I must admit, I've been very, very nervous about the process. I'd been quite happy the the water in the tank is crystal clear, warm and seemingly keeping the fish happy... Should I be aware that I've been lulled into...

I'm not going to lie, I blame the failure on my own lack of knowledge. The tank was tiny, only 1/2 a US Gallon, which I'd read (as I said, I'd done a lot of skimming on google and such, and probably got bad information) would be fine for the betta. I also think the betta itself might have been...

Thanks for the replies, guys! As far as maintenance goes, I'm willing to do some maintenance for sure, but, as a newbie, as said, I don't want to overwhelm myself and get discouraged. That said, I'm usually pretty dedicated, especially when it comes to things I enjoy, so, let's figure that I'd...

Okay, forgive me if this is a pointless question, but, I'm trying to figure out which way to go... I want to make a moderate/large tank setup for my first foray into fishkeeping as a hobby... Should I go for a 30-35 gallon tall, or a 46 gallon bowfront? Naturally, I'd want to go with the...

Hey, everyone! I'm a complete and utter newbie when it comes to fishkeeping. For a long time I'd been convinced that I'd be bored to death with the idea of having fish, then, I came into the responsibility of caring for a betta fish at work. Then, I thought I'd try one of my own at home...
