I'm cycling a 20 gallon aquarium at the moment. Once it is done cycling, I'm planning to get 3 zebra danios, and 3 glofish. (They are the same fish, just the glofish's color is genetically altered, so they'll school). So, what fish you guys think would get along(and look good) with these fish without overstocking my tank? Thanks! All answers are loved!

Do you use any devices? I was just wondering if there are any other ways instead of scooping out water cup by cup. Thanks!

I am disappointed about the fish I bought last week. I have a 5 gallon tank. I bought 3 dwarf gourami fish with the advice of a worker at a petstore. Sadly 1 is dead and 1 is about dead. I have one left. I am going to take him back since now I have heard that he will grow to big for this tank. Grrr I have read how to cycle my aquarium and plan on doing so for a few weeks. I don't want alot of fish but just a couple and I just want to know what I should get for this small aquarium? I like the tropical fish best. Should I add any salt to the aquarium when having these type of fish?

Cause i already have three fish but i want more and i want another type to make it look cool in my fish tank!

the aquarium has a beutiful disign stones on the battom.how to clean? what shuld i do that the water will be clean?the aqurium is made of small glass block.
thanks a lot, lior

i have four goldfish 2 eight inch 1 six inch and 1 four inch in a 55gallon tank can i even add more? very messy and active mostly worried about aggressiveness towards other fish. looking for a fish that fits the bill with clean up help. looking for factual answers not opinions. opinions leave us back at square one. thanks for all your help and time.

Okay Im looking to make a 10 gallon aquarium a saltwater for the time being maybe 1-2 animal is all because I want to start out small and work my way big simply because I am in an apartment type setting right now.Im gonna do a live sand bottom(Caribbean- sea) is the brand im using of sand. I want to put some live rock in there as well only a few little peices. Can I make this happen? or would I be better off converting my 30 gallon into my 10 gallon?

1 cherub ngelfish
2 adult royal grammas
2 flamefish
1 or 2 blackbar soldierfish
3 chalk bass

optional = 1 spotfin hogfish
1 swissguard basslet

Is this too many fior a 55 gallon tank

6 cherry barbs,
1-rainbow or redtail shark,
6- cory catfish.
or
4- male fancy guppies,
4-rainbow fish,
6-cory catfish better.
and could i add a borneo sucker or two to any of these

6-male fancy guppies,
6-australian rainbow fish,
6-juli catfish.
i've done ALOT of research including a fish tank calculator, pet education.com, and top middle and bottom stocking i know the tempermants and the tank size for the fish are ok but are the numbers ok? also what kind of food, habitat and temperature do these fish need to have or be in?

i would have:

100 zebra danios
100 pearl danios
100 leopard danios
100 bronze corys
100 albino corys
100 pepperd corys
10 plecos (hopefully they wont fight)
100 male guppies
100 red coral platties
100 upside down catfish
10 eels (something pecefull)
50 pictus catfish
100 glass catfish
50 frogs
50 oscars (that wont eat small fish)
50 freshwater puffers
and 50 assorted loaches

A 5 - 10 gallon hang-on whisper filter (I have one for each of my ten gallon aquariums and it filters really well and creates a great flow).
Sand from the beach.
Water from the beach.
Stones, etc from the ocean.


Will this work if I house some hawaiian red shrimp and some snails from the beach?

I have a friend selling his established saltwater aquarium of 3 years with a bit of coral and live rock. 60 gallons total. I have a freshwater aquarium of 40 gallons. Is the transition to a saltwater 60 gallon hard? How much time will I have to take to maintain it? I would like to grow some corals. The tank comes with all the required protein skimmers, fans, heaters, filters, etc.

So is it a hard transition? I don't want all the coral he has to die in my inexperience. Also, how do we move all the coral and rocks 10 miles to my house? Keep them in water? or will they be ok in a bag?

With a good filter, cycled, and cleaned once a week?

-1 (MAYBE 2) Tiger Oscars
-1 Senegal Bichir
-1 Peacock Eel
-4/5/6 Silver Dollars

Depending on whether or not I rescue an Oscar from a not-so-smart-pet-store, depends on the ammount of silver Dollars. I have enough filtration, and lots of hiding places. Sandy bottom as well.

With all the hiding spaces, I don't think the eel and bichir will fight too much. Let me know what you think
