A 30 Gallon tank good enough for a saltwater fish tank?

Question by EasyCheezyLemonPeachy: A 30 Gallon tank good enough for a saltwater fish tank?
I decided to pick up on the hobby of having saltwater fishes. As of now I chose the 30gal because it perfectly fits my room. So its sort of a limitation for me.

A blue surgeonfish, seastarfish, cleaner shrimp, True Percula Clownfish, and maybe one angel fish is what I’m planning to put in.

I did some research and I believe I am making a “Fish Only Tank” with a few ornaments.

It would be great if any amateurs or experts gave me some insight on what it takes to care for a saltwater fish tank.

So far I have bought: the tank, sand, sea-salt, and a filter called marineland biowheel. Although I purchased this filter, anyone know if marineland is a good filter or maybe I should be looking into something else? This filter costed me $ 35 and glass tank was $ 80.

Since I am new to this, I do think I may be the best customer to get gipped. Haha…
I’m getting mixed opinions on getting a 30 gallon tank. Some people here are saying 55 gallon is the minimum requirement, yet at the fish store, they were using 20 gallons as their smallest salt water tank.

I understand the nitrogen cycle, so I was thinking about using a air pump to go along with the filter I purchased. Also the double sided filter… Im assuming its the filter with two bio wheels or no?

I will definitely will not get a surgeon fish on second though haha… didn’t realize how big they can be. But I will have 1 starfish and 1 cleaner shrimp, no more.

Again thanks for all your advice, they been helpful, sort of. (Still confused).

Guppy and mollies breeding?

By on Wednesday, May 9th, 2012 | 2 Comments

Question by tatooedpriestess: Guppy and mollies breeding?
I have about 5 generations of “Golly fish” Some are the prettiest things ever others look like miniature sharks :D
Though as all of their beautiful and gorgeous colors…I have had no male gollies… ever! They are always girls… lovely mollies with fancy long fins…or creamcicle colored with dalmation spots…or even guppy/molly cream-cicle of “plain” colored guppies that look like tiny sharks… but no boy fishes…. they are always girls! Any way that I can get a male golly fish so they can continue growing into a new fish species? My Betta’s are also confusing me…they are so calm and placid and love to swim with the groups of guppies 3 female betta and one male. The male betta likes to be with the guppies and the girl Betta’s with the mollies no fighting though amongst the Betta’s or other fish. I got them to help control the numbers of fry and they aren’t even helping with that … I think the Betta’s have assimilated should I be worried about that too?

Thanks :D

Sorry about the jumbled writing
–Nweezer: Well at first it was just sort of an accident… then they just started to breed together … like rabbits. I got two guppies just so the tank would have some color (two deltas and a black tuxedo) along with some white mollies and one cremesicle lyre tail. Then the male guppies just started breeding… Also the tank conditions are almost perfect and slightly brackish for the fish to be happy. They love it; no deaths and many births :o Also the mollies were pretty small they were the offspring of a large white molly and the guppies must just like the smaller size…though I have a very large female molly (about 4-5 inches) that they still breed with too…
Sister: I have tried taking pictures but they are so blurry because they move so fast :O is there a good setting on my camera so I can take a slower picture or make them look non-blurry?

Fish-guy- The daddy guppies are breeding with the their daughters …who prduce more daughters… I would love to find a male golly to add to the tank because it would be less inbred fish… :D I could always try to place an ad in the paper :o
Nweezer: the female mollies have a triangular shaped anal fin and the male mollies have a tube shaped anal fin that points backwards. Look for smaller female mollies though :D I would love to take some pictures but my camera shots always come out so blurry I’m trying to look at some tutorials in order to take a good image of my fish.

Question by : why doesn’t syfy show stargate in reruns more?
I mean hell I am getting sick of seeing there crap movies like “Space Tornado” and “Giant Piranha” and the crap shows like “Ghost Hunter” and why the hell is this channel even showing WWE programs. To sum it all up with syfy channel having so many great shows already made why not show them more often. Maybe something like a classic night where they show episodes in order like they were shown originally.

Otto Fish in tropical tank?

By on Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 | 1 Comment

Question by Animal Lover: Otto Fish in tropical tank?
I have a small algae problem in my tropical fish tank. I have 6 small platy (about 3/4 to 1 inch) and I think it is a 12 gallon tank. I wanted to get 1 or 2 small “sucker fish” to eat the algae and was thinking of otto’s. Does this sound ok? And should I get 1 or 2 or will it not make a difference. Thanks for any answers in advance.
