I rescaped my 36 gallon bowfront after moving the neons that were there into my 29 gallon planted RCS tank. So besides a few RCS, it’s empty of stock. Any ideas? My thoughts are some Cories, rummy nose tetras, danios, and a centerpiece fish of some sort. Other thoughts are several pea puffers...

If you need a cycled filter quickly, I can recommend Angelsplus.com. I’ve moved many times with the military and always end up starting over with their seeded filters.

I love the thoroughness of your quarantine routine. I wasn’t aware we could dose all three meds at once. That will save me some time in the future. Thanks.

King Fisher is giving good advice. Another benefit of running both filters is that if you use the 10 gallon as a quarantine/hospital tank with new fish, all you need to do is move the 10 gal. filter over and you’re instantly cycled.

Betta are usually happier with more space. I frequently hear that 5 -10 are a minimum for a Betta. That’s a great size to heavily plant and raise a colony of shrimp. Red Cherry Shrimp (called RCS on here) are relatively inexpensive and hardy. You could make a beautiful tank with them. I assume...

I have it fishless cycling now.

Thanks King Fisher and Laurie! I’m excited for it.

Do you have nerite snails by any chance? Mine left eggs all over the wood, but they don’t hatch.

My understanding is that a tank needs to be completely empty when moving it. So no rock or sand even. As mentioned, lots of buckets.

I don’t have any idea but I’d sure like to see a pic of the aquarium. Sounds beautiful.

That’s a lovely way of putting it! A puzzle.

Hey all, I won the raffle at today’s aquarium goods auction! So now I have a 36gal. to set up, too! Fortunately it comes complete with everything but the fish. So I’ll have it up and running soon.

Thanks TK and Ayi, I’ll look those up!

I’m at an Aquarium Auction and got a big bag of this for $9. Looks like it could float or be planted. What the heck is it? :)

Cool. Thanks. I’m thinking I have enough room for a few rams, angelfish, Cories, neons, Tetras and swordtails.
