Hi all, I've got a ten gallon planted that I've been trying to keep without a heater, but it's just getting too cold in the house without one and I think the plants are suffering for it. So I picked up a little Tetra one today before I have to leave for business later this week. Unbeknownst to...

Hey, I almost started breeding guppies years ago and I began with about thirty tanks, but there was no market and way too many fish. I could've filled every tank in a matter of months. I would highly recommend looking into one of the easier egglayers instead. They are a bit more difficult to...

Hey all, I've fallen back in to aquariums very casually. I've got my ten gal setup with lowlight plants and at the moment a funky group of two neons, three White Clouds, and three Endler males. I have a bad feeling that one of the endlers is going to pass soon, and though I do love neons I...

My rummynose is now all alone as of an hour ago- the other rummy died and I cannot get any more of them as the local fish store shut down. What would be a nice companion for the poor thing? It's 10 gallons- I had to downgrade, it was originally 30- and I'd like only a few fish, relatively hardy...

Just leave them in the current tank. It's not worth it to move them. Some may survive, some may not, but it's a wait and see game. Netting them would be nearly impossible, and you can't afford to have forty fry growing up in ten gallons of water. Yes, it's kind of horrible, but it's nature in...

Ohhhh ANDY! We need you! Anyway, I agree with Coral. Be very careful and use tank water from the parents for the nursery. Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Elephant noses are hard to care for and require specialized tanks. Cardinals and rummynose tetras are both good options- do you like guppies or gourami? Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Just had to post my excitement over this amazing win by American Pharoah! Congrats to all those involved with him and wow... Once in a lifetime experience! Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Aren't gold just a GBR color morph though? Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

I wouldn't do GBR and gourami to be honest. My GBR were nasty when they paired up. I'd look into starting with the hardier gourami before you touch rams, they're hard to work with sometimes. Maybe one pearl, some cories, and a school of tetras. Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Just reorganized to see this easier: 2 fully grown tiger barbs 4" , 2 albino tiger barbs, 1 green barb , 2 medium danasoni barbs, 2 cherry barbs, 4 clown loaches 3" in size , 5 yoyo loach , 2 leopard loach , 4 kuhli loaches, 10 guppies, 2 small bosemani rainbow, 3 angel fishes...

Nevermind I figured it out Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Guppies aren't hard to breed-- they're hard to breed right. Keeping a strain is pretty difficult, which is why I concur with Mebbid in that you should start with wilds. Much more forgiving that way. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Humans were kind of nature's Frankenstein monsters, it needs some help. It's like being an amateur boxer or something and a pro comes to fight in your match- not gonna end well. Anyway, this is a thing, I've participated in dives that do it off the OC coast and also on installing thousands of...

Biologically you can fit two. But logistically they may or may not try to kill each other. Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Then you'd be better off with the angel although I advise against rams unless it's Bolivians. Any morph of GBR are a pain to deal with- trust me. Give it a long time before you try them. What about an angel, the banjo cat, a big school of penguin tetras or rummies plus 8 ish Cories? Sent from...

I don't, unfortunately. I could send them off to my relatives but their son shattered the glass on their thirty and my ten can't hold my angel, let alone the whole stock. I could strip it out and keep them all in a bucket for a bit though if that's what you mean. At this point the tank is...

What are your water params out of the tap and what's in your ten? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

So, I'm back. To those that contributed on my last threads, ad to utilize a more British form of the expression, I was a bloody arrogant little brat and I apologize. Anyway, with that off my chest, my tank needs help. (Yeah, yeah Brookster) The algae is impressive, as is the lack of plants. And...

My algae is uglier than all of yours though! ? Anyway, I think your tank looks fantastic, the same happened to me with the star repens. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Is this your first aquarium? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

It's unfortunate, especially because according to my LFS it's the only time they plan on stocking them and they were only $2.98. But I do love the little buggers. Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

Hi, I purchased six Pygmy cories Saturday evening, acclimated them to my ten, and out them in. They were eating this morning but now one has suddenly become lethargic and died. The tank is at 72 with 0, 0, ~10 params. Tank mates are guppy fry and some RCS. The tank is gravel with a large rock...

Erm... How'd you catch that fish? Nose looks bloody, probably part of the issue Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic

No, it's an albino morph of the Paleatus Delivered via owl Ministry of Magic
