agreed, there is but one dwarf gourami. Though there are other species of gouramis that could be considered dwarfs because of their size, they have their own names, as was mentioned. Can't say I've...

Exactly my point. It can be done, and you would likely not come home to dead fish for the reasons mentioned. Established aquariums are not some house of cards waiting to come crashing down - they...

I agree - its not that the tank couldn't go 2 months without any maintenance or care, but it is the continual neglect that is my concern about such a situation. It will eventually catch up to you...

Remember the movie What About Bob? Gill the goldfish was carried around in a jar hung around Bill Murry's neck :-)

Excellent suggestion.

I still think the robofish are a good option - you can take them out of the water when you leave so they don't burn out their batteries.

It's hard to rehome a pet when it's killed within 24 hours....

Or they buy them to eat them for dinner... They just prefer to do the killing. In the article you'll find a link to PETAs president defending their support of the pit bull destruction policy.

No, they won't eat them. If the tank is big enough for the rosy barbs, then it will be big enough for both the rosy barbs and cherry barbs. But rather than getting two red barbs, why not get gold...

They call like $10k - SUPER rare.

That much is obvious as per your comment about american politics being either right of center or far right of center. I couldn't disagree more. Funny how we can have complete opposite views on the...

Everyone thinks that they are "the center" :) It's just a matter of perspective

Bringing this back to fish - are there balloon species over there?

Certainly not me. I just don't know of many other systems that a devoid of capitalist interests. And I would have bet money that someone was going to go and bash capitalism. How predictable we...

Capitalism and communism are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Grouping together systems with "any level" of capitalism, of which there are many, only leaves systems with no level of capitalism, of...

Hahahaha, you say that like ethics are the cornerstone of communism....

Depends entirely on the activity level and nature of the fish.

For normal schooling fish I think that 3-4 inch is fine for a 55. A way I look at stocking schooling fish is no more than 1 inch of...

Both grow too large for your tank, in my experience. Too, both cost around $15 per fish in my neck of the woods.

Keeping the rams relegates you to fish that have a preference for very warm water,...

Can't see signatures on tapatalk :)

Perhaps swap out the cherry barbs for rosy barbs and the danios for dwarf neon rainbows.

Tank size?

The good LFS I go to have ballon green terrors, GBRs, and pearl gouramis. Way to make a beautiful fish ugly....

Welcome to the forum

If the tank has a glass top and a canister filtration, evaporation won't be an issue. Tom rapids mini canister is what I have on my 10.

Small dead fish will be consumed in...

Today I moved the new 66 ft EB Viking back to the boatyard for them to take care of the punch list. It was not relaxing - even at high tide, in many areas through the ICW, the depth sounder was...

I too have used it with no issue, but in a 10 gallon tank.

Yes, I have read that bettafix is a diluted formula for use in the tiny tanks.

Keeping tanks with a variety of fish, I've learned that a little over feeding is needed in order to make sure all the fish get their share. One of the ways I accomplish this is to feed small foods -...

Debate?? With bettas?? :-)

As far as I can tell, the issue is overdosing, which is quite easy to do in the tiny tanks in which many people keep their bettas.
