Wow gorgeous Tiger Barb piccie ! Is he the only TB you have in the tank ?
I will guess that those other blobs of blur are Danios ?

Thanks, but no, due to poor advice from a bad LFS, and a lack of research on my part, I have 6 TB's in the 10 gallon. When they grow too big I'll move them to a 30G i'm purchasing soon.

Tank looks really nice for a 10 gallon! Many ppl dont take the time for smaller tanks but i think they deserve just as much attention... That sucks about what the LFS told you. They will tell anyone anything to make a sale (or when they dont know what they are even talkign about )!

NICE JOB

Unfortunate about the tiger barbs... I always try to make it clear that tiger barbs get nasty in small tanks, I always try to make sure the tank is at least 20Gallons..

On a side note that gravel is making my eyes bleed!

I really like the tank, are any of those plants real or all placcy? cos they look great

 

[UBigBobby]

Yea when I bought the TB's I didn't know what tank they needed, and the LFS told me a 10 was fine. I take the blame though as it was my responsibility to research before I bought.

Also, the plants are all plastic. I plan on buying a 29G next weekend after I get paid, and that will be real plants. I plan on possibly moving my TB's there and adding a pair of german blue rams. This tank would get zebra Danios in all likelyhood, or a school of neons. Not sure yet. I may say screw the 29G for now and spend more and get a 55G. Not sure yet.

Yeah i stopped listening to the lfs employees once they told me a common plec would work in a 10 gallon.

Nice deco, but I think it would look much better with natural gravel or sand ...

So do I, thats my one regret, that I got blue gravel. It doesn't look bad...but I tend to like more natural looking setups. My next tank will definately be sand.

I'm sure you don't need an opinion on this, but if you get a bigger tank and get sand, it would be well worth it to get some fish that really enjoy digging in sand It's probably one of the funnest things to watch I've ever seen. For a 29 gallon, I would HIGHLY reccomend a trio of Dojo Loaches!

(Yes, I am trying to enforce my love of the Dojo on others )

And keep in mind that if you get light colored sand, it's a pain in the bum to keep looking clean and nice ^^ 10 minutes after I clean it, it's already covored in poo and plants matter!

 

[UBigBobby]

Good idea...they seem awesome.

SO my 29G (or maybe 30...preferably a 30) will have 3 Dojo Loaches, 2 German Blue Rams. I think I'll start a thread and ask for suggestions.

 

[KeddyPie]

I promise you the Dojos will be worth it! They are bottom dwellers, but often like to feed at the top, and swim around then they're built up too much energy ^^
