I feed once a day and skip one meal every week or so. When I have babies or juveniles I feed 2-3 small meals a day until the fish are coming close to being mature.

For freshwater,

Discus!
or African cichlids...
or a redfin prochilodus

LOL lady hobbs, you wish.

I like my 406. Had it for about 8 months. Very quiet. You will have lots of options in regards what kind of media you want to keep. I keep just the 3 different sponges/foam and extra chambers of...

What a great pic! very nice...

I love it!

an inch huh? That might take another few weeks. You know what funny is I'm not really worried about the gourmai or the roselines.The diamond tetras are so fiesty. They attack my hand when I put it in...

Thanks for the replies. My bamboo shrimp is a filter feeder. He has little fans that he holds out and picks particles out of the water so I don't know if he can eat it or not. He never comes down...

Yeah my instinct was to wait a week or two ust to give them the edge. Thanks for the replies.

LOL sometimes when you get too wrapped up in the details you just gotta let go a little. Something I've learned in this hobby is that sometimes the more you try to control/force something the less...

I have 6 diamond tetra fry isolated in my 100 gallon tank. They are about 5-6weeks old and are growing nicely. How long should I wait before releasing them in the large tank?

Question for anyone with freshwater shrimp...

Do you leave the molted exoskeleton in the tank? Do your fish eat it? I tried leaving it in this time and my fish don't seem interested. How often do...

I have really high PH too and have had good luck with my tanks. I wouldn't mess with adding chemicals to lower the PH. I've heard that its more important to have a stable PH rather than trying to...

I think increasing the tetra's would be good and they don't create much waste so you should be ok. Maybe hold off on more guppies. Or... add only 5more tetras and 3 more guppies.

I've had a African cichlid tank for 2 years. There's only 3 fish in it now. If a fish was overly aggressive I'd give it to my local aquarium store. The result is that I have 3 of the most laid back...

I agree with the other community members suggestion to reduce the amount of species and keep a few schools with higher numbers (10+for the tetras). I also agree with another member in that your...

I've bought 2 used tanks and had good luck with them. Just make sure the condition is good. You can request to fill it with water and make sure there's no leaks. I was too lazy to do that but it...

Thanks:19:

So I was doing my weekly water change today and I found juvenile diamond tetras! I did not expect them to breed as the PH in the tank is 8. What a surprise and joy. I've got plenty of room for them...

I would do Mbuna Cichlids. Maybe even just one species-yellow tailed acei and have 7-9.

Under ADA they sell a cheaper line called "Do Aqua!" I have a 10 gallon one and it's very nice. The glass clarity isn't as good as it is with the ADA one's though, but it really only matters if you...

P.S. the goldfish forum is actually a "sub forum" that's under the "coldwater fish" forum.

19 litres is to small for a goldfish, if this fish lives please consider buying a larger tank for him. The "general standard" for keeping a single goldfish is at least 15gallons (57 litres). If kept...

If your tank has plants that could be a problem. If there are no plants the loss of C02 wouldn't be negative (as far as I know). I have tons of surface agitation, but I also keep easy plants like...

I've had surface film on occasion. I use power heads(water pumps) pointed up for surface agitation. You also get higher oxygen levels with more surface agitation, so bonus!

If it makes you feel any better, our electric bill in summer is always over $350. I live in Arizona... yeah
