Hey guys,
I have recently made an mistake and overstocked my planted tank, that was already overstocked a bit.. My colleague wanted to throw away 15 young cardinal tetras, so I had to take them.. According to AqAdvisor my filtration capacity is 269%, the rest pls see the picture. The fish are...
Hey guys,
I recently planted my third aquarium and would like your opinion on the stocking. The tank is 110l (29gal), I would say heavily planted, a lot of rocks and hiding places.
In the future Im thinking of:
12x Red Minor tetra, 12x Royal tetra, 12x Odessa barb, 12x Silvertip tetra or Lemon...
First of all, wow-it’s been a very long time since I’ve been on here. Last time I logged on was November 2022 😅. I was searching around google for stocking ideas for my tank and I remembered I always used to get good advice from here so I came back. My betta that I’ve had for about a year and a...
Hello, I'm thinking of getting my first aquarium and want to do it right, I only have room for a 20 gallon unfortunately. I was thinking for the stocking I could get a group of Peacock Gudgeons, a group of American Flagfish, and maybe a bigger center piece fish by itself. What do people think...
My friend has a fish tank that I'll be taking care of next year. It's a ten gallon planted tank, and currently it houses two plecos, one loach, one balloon molly, and a goldfish. Today she asked if I wanted to go to the fish store on Tuesday, since she wanted to get another molly or two, and she...
Hi, all! I am new to fish keeping. After a little over 6 weeks, my tanks--quarantine (QT) and "main" (MT) have both cycled without fish. I read some advice, however, that I should continue adding ammonia and doing water changes until the biofilters can neutralized 2 ppm of ammonia within 24...
Hey everyone! I haven't posted in a while, but I'm now in college and looking to keep a nice planted tank. I was gifted an almost complete 5-gallon setup that I'm currently cycling. So many options are running through my head... dwarf puffers, betta, dwarf crayfish, micro species, Thai micro...
Hello, I just got a 45-gallon tank. I wonder what to do with it, as the original idea was shell-dwellers, but that was decided when I thought I was getting a 30 or 35, not a 45. I currently have a 30-gallon long nano community, a 10-gallon block Black Tiger Dario/Badis tank, an 80-gallon high...
There are many different types I could get. I've never owned any before. They would have to be compatible with my set up. I have platies in a 20 gallon with sand substrate, live plants, and a HOB filter. I'm afraid the platies could eat shrimp, but their babies swim right in front of them all...
These are mine.
Angelfish. I like their body shape and the way it looks like they glide across the water.
Discus. I've heard that these fish are very smart, and they look like colorful pancakes from their flat bodies.
Pea pufferfish. It's cool that we can have freshwater small pufferfish as...
Just wondering what people think would be good for a 10 gallon, roughly 40cmX30cmX30cm (I believe, will correct if wrong), don't mind single species as this tank previously held a single female betta.
My pH stays around 7.0, GH is around 10dGH, and KH is around 9dKH.
This is the current set...
Hey everyone,
I posted initially to the welcome section and didn't want to post another thread there. So, per the advice i received in that thread, i have gotten the canister filter up and running and the plants in. You'll see in the photos where the pH sits so my stocking advice can be a little...
Hi all! I have just completed the set up of my first aquarium. It has driftwood, sand, a plant nutrition soil and plenty of plants. Something on the aquascape seems a bit off to me and I'm wondering if anybody has any tips! This tank is an EHEIM LED second-hand 150 litre aquarium, 60cm x 50cm. I...
Hi there! I have been doing a whole lot of research as I prepare a 75 gallon! I’m trying to decide what tank mates (cichlid or otherwise) that could work well in there and there’s a lot of different opinions! I have my single female Kribensis going in there as well as my Chinese algae eater (who...
Yesterday, I came to the decision to swap my tank from cold water to tropical. I sold my WCMM and Corydoras, and now have an 18 Gallon tank empty and ready for a fresh start. I done a 95% water change and did not wash the substrate so as not to have to cycle again, though I suspect I may go...
Hi all I’ve got a 7.5 gallon 26 litre tank. It is run on a modified canister filter with a baffle for low flow. The tank is black water and is heavily planted. As far as stocking after keep domesticated Betta for a while the wild Betta species are really interesting to me. I also want to keep a...
Ok, so I’m pretty new to fish keeping and I was recently given a 260 litre/ 55 gallon tank.
I’ve been playing with a few ideas but have settled on stocking with fish on the larger side. I am not sure if this will work as the gouramis may fight but any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have...
Hello forum!
I have owned 5 danios for a bit over 2 years now, recently however they have dropped off, down to just the 3. I noticed some aggressive behaviour since - which I put down to the lack of danios. Because of this, and the fact i couldn't stand to see the fish upset, I went out and...
Hello everyone, I have 1 male veiltail betta fish, neon tetras, 1 otocinclus cat, and 2 ghost shrimp. I am getting a 29-gallon aquarium soon and I would like some stocking ideas. Any suggestions?
