Lol my spell check correct "kribs" to "Irish". On the matter of gh and kh, my house does not draw from a municipal water source. We draw from a well that is about 10-15 years old. Anyway i could get a gh or kh reading on that?

Thanks, nice to know that people have had success with them. I just wanted to double check. Any suggestions on what I should put with 10 neons and a dwarf gourami? I 've gotten a lot of suggestions for cories but would like to know the exact amount I should put in with them. Also I was thinking...

Anyone have any thoughts on tissue culture plants? Are they a good idea. I would really like to avoid having a lo of snails in my tank, so I thought that these would be a good idea, but I wanted to get some input first. Thanks.

Hi, kribs would work and are a good starter cichlid as not v. aggressive and a community cichlid but again sand is preferable as some of their eating is done by sifting sand through their gills, they also sometimes dig in the sand to make places to rest and for breeding. the most important thing...

Yeah, I was definitely going to increase the tetras to about 10 or so, and maybe have 6 or 7 smaller cory cats. The only real problem I have with cories, is that I need sand or really fine gravel, and I don't know how to use sand. I was also considering long fin zebra Danios, however I don't...

Ok, thanks for the input. I will probably want to make a community around the dwarf and neons then.

      I would like to make a community aquarium. My tap water is 7.6 ph, and usually is a zero for all ammonia and nitrite, and about 5ppm nitrates. I would like some recommendations on the fish, but i was thinking of, if i couldn't get the red tail, moving my current fish, a dwarf gourami, and...

So I am planning on starting a 40-gallon freshwater planted tank come next December. I figured I would start researching it now so that I would be able to plan everything out (ie. plants, costs, hardware, substrate, etc.) I was wondering what substrates you guys would recommend or any good...

All, right thanks. I might end up putting a few amano or cherry shrimp in with him. I have seen this done before, the king of diy (Joey), has his daughters 5 gallon with a betta and 4 cherry shrimp.

First off, I want to know if this is even possible. If it isn't, I will back off this idea entirely and put my betta in by himself. If it is even possible, I would like to know if I could put 5 neon tetra in with him. I have a separate tank ready in case anything goes south. I will properly...

I have a petco about ten-20 minutes away, and a petsmart about 40 minutes away. I couldn't find anything on the websites but thank you for telling me that the stores could order them.

So I was looking at the tanks that are at the chain pet stores, I don't have anything else in my local area, and all of the tanks are either way over priced or crap. Are there any good ways too procure decent tanks that won't completely empty my wallet? I received my first tank as a gift, so I...

Okay, thanks.

you guys got any suggestions, or do you think I'm fine?
