Stocking A 29 Gallon Aquarium, Ideas And Suggestions Please?

By on Tuesday, September 27th, 2011 | 2 Comments

I recently moved my male betta, cory catfish, and 4 white cloud minnows into a 29 gallon aquarium (I know it was overstocked they were not in there for long). I would like to add some more fish in there but I’m not sure what. I know cories are schooling fish so if I get 5 more of those and 2 more white clouds would that be fully, over, or understocked? If understocked what else could I put in? I’ve always liked dwarf gouramis, angelfish and cherry shrimp. Could I put any of those in? Or what over types of fish would do well with the ones I have now (no guppies, platys or mollies)? The measurements of the tank is 23 inches tall 24 inches wide, and 13 inches depth. Also my betta is very friendly, he has NEVER attacked another fish, and welcomes newcomers into his home without hesitation. There are a couple live plants, and lots of hiding places.

Stocking My 60-gallon Fish Tank.?

By on Thursday, September 8th, 2011 | 3 Comments

Right now, I have a cycled 10-gallon tank housing 1 Male Betta, 1 Female Red Tailed Shark, and 1 Undetermined Albino Bristlenose Pleco.
The Pleco and the RTS will be moved into the 60-gallon tank once it is finished cycling. Because of the small size of the 10-gallon, I haven’t gotten any other fish.
What other fish could be put in the aquarium with the RTS? I wanted to put in a few angel fish. But I’m not sure how compatible they would be. Anyhow, just looking for a few ideas. I really like special / rare selections, so please feel free to input!
Thank you. =)

Aquarium Stocking Question?

i already have a baby clown knife, baby black ghost knife, and a baby dinosaur bichir. i know these fish get big and 75 gallons is what i am going to upgrade to. i dont need anyone telling me i need 150 gallons. i have been a fish keeper for years and have done research on ideas and tank sizes. i was thinking that an oscar or 2 would do good or an arrowana.
any other ideas?

75 Gal Stocking And Ideas! Pleaseeeee Answer!?

By on Thursday, August 25th, 2011 | 2 Comments

i have a 75 gal tank.
right now i have 2 male dwarf gouramis,
3 cherry barbs
4 albino cherry barbs
5 peppered cories,
5 juli cories
1 unknown cory
3 female albino bristle nose plecos
1 male albino bristle nose pleco(getting soon)
13 platties
8 glofish
and 7 guppies.
you may or may not think that this is overstocked but i dont. and pluss,
i want to get ride of the 3 cherry barbs
get rid of all the guppies and most of the platties.
and then get 6 golden tetras and maybe 6 neon tetras.
im kindof sick of all these little ankle bitter fish and want some big ones!
if i got 2 angles and 4 rams(2 golden and 2 german blue), would they eat any of my fish?
really all i want in my tank is all the coriesm, all of the glofish, the 2 groups of tetras i said(golden and neon), my 2 male dwarf gouramis and plecos thats it.
so if it was 2-3 angels,
4-6 rams(of all kinds)
2 male dwarf gouramis( 1 flamming dwarf and 1 blue neon dwarf)
4 albino bristle nose plecos
11 cories,
12 tetras(golden and neon)
maybe a scholl of rainbows
9 glofish and maybe 3 platties and or 3 swordtails. if i got these fish, i wouldnt want them to eat eachother or be agressive toeachother.
if i got the 2-3 angels, would they slowly start eating all my guppies and platties? would they go for the glofsih and tetrra and cories? would a angel even get big enough to eat a platty or guppy? would all the rams get along? ive read that you should get a school so the agression stays in the pack? and everyone says that they need 86 degree water but www.liveaquaria.com says they dont…?
along time ago i gave my friiend a poop load of guppies and over stocked his tank, well they all are doing fine and great but now i cant give him anymore fish, so as mean as this sounds i am going to go over there and if his mom says ok, i will be flushing alot of the guppies so his mom can have a normal tank, not just a million guppies. and then i will be able to give him more fish like my platties or something.
sooo.
will my stocking work?
would angels eat glofish, tetras(i see youtube videos where tetras are with angels), cories, plecos, shrimp, khuli loaces, guppies, platties(redwag, pand, blue rainbow… etc).
would angels, rams and male dwarf gouramis al get along?
would a groupl of 6+ rams of different kinds be ok?
sorry this may sound like a jumbled mess, but its ok! just do your best to answer what i asked!:) and you dont have to be mean or rude. thanks!

Aquarium Stocking Idea?

By on Wednesday, August 10th, 2011 | 3 Comments

hi i have just build one of those coffee table aquarium to use as a center piece in my front room, anyway if measures 5.5 feet long x 2.5 feet wide and 2 feet deep, so a volume of 780 liters or 171 IMPERIAL gallons.
it is filtered by a box all the way along the back wall with holes drilled in the bottom and a pump pushing water into the box so the water filters and makes a water fall, so basically a 5.5 foot long trickle filter.
anyway i was thinking of stocking it with a tiger oscar a jack dempsey and a common pleco but then i had a thought, why not put lots of different fish in there, i know you’re thinking not a good idea but….. i am thinking if i divided the tank into different size section such as a 12″x12″ section for a betta, a big section for an oscar and so on. the way i would filter this is the trickle filter (described above) for the big sections and undergravel filters for the smaller sections.
so do you think this would work?

Stocking Suggestions For 29-30 Gallon Aquarium?

By on Sunday, August 7th, 2011 | 3 Comments

I’ve been thinking about getting a 29 gallon aquarium lately (don’t worry–I’ll cycle it before getting the fish).
FISH I LIKE: tiger barbs, dwarf gourami, honey gourami, bettas, angelfish, african cichlids, LOVE blood red parrot cichlids, goldfish, rainbowfish, platies, zebra danios/glofish, neon tetra/cardinal tetra, mollies, swordtails,
FISH I DON’T LIKE: catfish and plecos (and no invertebrates)
So which fish would do well in this size aquarium?
What are some good groupings with the fish above?

Stocking 30 gallon fish tank?
Okay I have no idea what to get. But I was thinking about this.
4 pygmy corydoras
6 neon tetras
3 ghost shrimp
and I would really like to add one or two guppies but I don’t know if that is pushing it…so thanks and please give me YOUR suggestions or how you would stock it if you have any. This is my first time doing this whole fish aquarium thing, so if you’d like to give me hints or anything about how I should “cycle” my tank and what to feed bottomfeeders that woould be fantastic!
