I'm looking for any stocking ideas for my 20gal long tank (80x35x40). I would like to have shrimp in there as well. pH - 6.8 Amonia - 0 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0 gH - 0

Does anybody know where I can find a good stocking calculator online, I used to use one ages ago that told you the compatibility of your stock in temperature and nature plus the percentage of your stocking capacity but I can’t seem to find it again the calculator I used earlier is saying I’m...

So yall who have bared with me since my horrible beginning, I've had around 40 lovely little creatures in a 32.5 and 20, which was massively overstocked! I vowed that when I moved I would get a larger tank to better disperse the fish to live comfortably, and less crowded! Well I moved into my...

Never sure which forum section to post in but this is a learning post. I'm setting up my 127L/34G tank. It's 36"/90cm in length, 12"/30cm width & 18"/45.7cm. Starting cycling so this isn't a rushed question but I really like the spray nozzle on Eheim Aquaball that creates small waves & the...

Hey all, Finally got my nitrite readings down to 0 ppm! This is 2 days in a row, and about 4 hours after a big meal. I'm going to go to my LFS soon to pick up a background, some final plants and some new fish! I have the 4 peppered corydoras and I intend to finish their shoal off this weekend by...

Hey all, I have a 29 gallon tank that is super close to finishing its cycle (thanks @mbsqw1d). I have 4 corydoras paleatus, and will be looking to get 4 more. Would I be able to stock a Blue Acara? If not is there any cichlids I could stock? Thanks!

So I have some general questions about fixing up an old tank I recently acquired. 1st question. It looks like the previous owner took out the central support, leaving the tank with the risk of bowing. I have been doing some reading and it looks like I can actually order a custom from for it...

Once I get rid of all of all my female guppies, I will have an empty tank. I plan on switching it back to freshwater once they are gone. I want the tank to have a single fish. I know I could probably do a goldfish (as long as I keep on top of the water, thinking 50 percent change 3 times a...

Right now I have 6 of the glotetra in a 25 gallon (my first fish I ever got). From my understanding they are basically white skirt tetra. How many should I have in my tank? I know "more is better" but how many more would my maximum be? I wanted to add some more green, as well as some standard...

So, I just saw my group of 10 pygmy corydoras school around the tank with all of them together. This is the first time all 10 went at it like that. So now I am wondering what the max number I can keep in my 29 gallon are.

Hi, I finally got a red lizard whiptail!! It's so cute, my amano shrimp are bigger than him or her?? As I mentionned in another thread I was supposed to test my GH at my LFS but I forgot... I also mentionned I was gonna get a 10 gallon aquarium in my kitchen or dining room... Well actually when...

Hi, i have a question about stocking levels for a juwel lido 120litres. I currently have 13 guppies and 1 endler guppy. Also 5 emerald green brochis corydoras. Would this be classified as fully stocked? I would have eventually liked to have gotten a red bristlenose pleco but don't want to push...

I have a cycled 20 gallon tall/standard tank with 7 leopard danios, 4 corydoras aeneus, 1 bolivian ram and 2 amano shrimp. I was thinking of adding some other fish, maybe a bristlenose pleco or some guppies. The tank has been up and running with this stock for about 2 weeks and has an aquaclear...

I'm cleaning up my grandpa's pond as a side project to get myself out of the house during quarantine. Once it's cleaned up we are considering stocking it, but I'd like to find what will work there before proposing anything to him. Separated list for easier read. -pond is not circular. It has 5...

Hi, I would like to know what is the stem plant on the first picture, I think it is hygrophila angustifolia but I am not sure. Also I posted a thread not so long ago to identify the plant on the 2 picture but it was the emerged form of the plant so now it looks different so I would like a second...

Hey all, another quick question! I'm finally ready to complete the stocking of my 33 gallon long! I'm looking to add a small school of mid level swimming fish but I want something colourful and not too small like tetras. Currently in my tank I have 7 corydoras and a bristlenose so I need fish...

Hi, I would like to make sure the temperature of my tank is ok and if I can lower it a bit because I would like to get another school of corys in the futur (probably not so soon as I have other fish I want to get in that tank before) and the temperature that my tank is at now limits my options...

Hi I'm trying to decide the stocking for my fluval flex 15 gallon/57 litre So far I have decided on: 1 female betta 4 endlers And pygmy Cory's Some say they need school of 6 others say 4 is fine. I want them to be happy but also keep stocking levels relatively low. Also what do you recommend...

Hi guys, I just wanted to see if anyone had issues about how I want to stock my tank, and any way to resolve them. I am getting a 34L tank (almost 8 gallons I think), and am hoping to put in about 5 cherry barbs and a few platys, in that order. I think I would rather have the platys but please...
