Hello!

[Jakey02578]

Ahh, I'm so glad i signed up for this! Helped me a lot, but I'm struggling, i have a smallish tank (15 gallons) and all i've got at the moment is 4 black widow tetras, what else should i put in there?!:')

 

[mike455555]

black widow tetras need to be in groups of 6+ really so 2 more of them for a start... then what fish do you like the look of?

 

[Jakey02578]

Yeah, I was planning on getting a few more. Name me some good looking ones which aren't too big!

 

[mike455555]

that's all down to personal preference.. i like otocinculs there a cool type of fish. i also like neons and shrimps but at the end of the day its down to you =]

 

[Jakey02578]

I'll have a look round the massive fish place near me! http/www.abyssaquatics.co.uk/index.htm

 

[mike455555]

...is that your LFS?... im jealous if it is....

 

[Jakey02578]

Yeah!;-)

 

[mike455555]

wow... im impressed i thought i was well off with my little one...

 

[Jakey02578]

Aha, its ace!

black widow tetras are also called black skirt tetras. On this site you can view which fish are compatible to yours: http/tropicalfishandaquariums.com/Compatibility/index.php

How long should i wait before adding more?

 

[mike455555]

how long has it been cycled for ... and the simple answer when both nitrites and ammonia read 0 on a test kit, id add 1 fish at a time to prevent a big ammonia spike

 

[Jakey02578]

Like a month. Alright!

 

[pkppv]

Wow, your fish store is almost as big as the aquarium i work at....

Well not quite...but still impressive!!

Good morning and welcome to the forum! If my lfs looked like that, they would have to charge me rent, I'd be there all of the time!
