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?

I have eight 8 fresh water tanks but would really like to start a "small" salt water aquarium.
Any tips and what is your recommendation for the starter fish after the set up and acclimation time?
Thanks for any help

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!

becuz im about to get a platy or guppy fish and i was wondering which one is better so could u please help me.

thank you :)

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 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?
