Usually 2 is a bad number for schooling fish because one picks on the other no? Id say get a few more and They should do fine.

If you get a Red tailed black shark it should only be one (they will not tolerate each other RTBS's as they get older), and once you have one it limits what else you can put in the tank. They are aggressive fish, they need hiding places, and become very territorial the older they get. They go...

Great game, nice fish :)

Sorry i don't have any advice but do reedfish need to be in BW? Would one be o.k in FW?

by clean I meant algae/leftover food which I don't have too much of, but I cant put an algae eater in with my rts. Didn't know they were so messy and my search continues for a cleaner-upper.

Hes in the 29g right now and seems very very content, but I will get the 96 and do as you suggested.

The tank has no leaks, we tested it a couple weeks ago and i'm not sure how long th e tank has been in use because he got it used about 2 weeks ago. Also while my RTS was in teh 10 gal he tried to jump out multiple times and hit his head so much he hurt his face. Even though he hasn't tried that...

O.k I have a 29g set up with sand and mostly cycled with only my 3 inch RTBS in it. My friend has a 96 gal Aquarium that has a semi-bent front (like a bowfront or w.e) but he uses it for a bearded dragon lizard. He wants to trade for my 29g because he needs a smaller tank and I was saving up...

I think its safe to vac since it is heavier than most of what your trying to get rid of, but it is also trickier than gravel for obvious reasons. Hopefully someone more experienced chimes in.

I think semi-aggressive middle/top dwellers are your best bet.

Bay-tah

Where to start = here. Once your tank is good then Make sure He has hiding places or at least one cave to call his own. As long as he has a house He should be happy, and as for other fish it depends on what you want. Great fish as long as you don't get anything he dislikes :P Edit- Also make...

Would one apple snail be sufficient if i wanted a bottom dweller to clean my tank sand (29g)? I would get a catfish but I don't want any conflicts with my young RTS over hideouts. How messy are apple snails and how many would be good for a 29g? I don't want any mating going on so thats why I'm...

Turned on. Now all i have to do is paint the back of my aquarium black, wait for my tank to re-cycle, and re-decorate for my rtbs whom I'm sure is tired of his 10g QT tank.

Probably. Either way I cleaned it/put it in the tank and the water isn't TOO cloudy. Just how long should I wait until turning the filter back on? I did a few 50-70% water changes and the water looks decent but I don't want to mess My filter up. Sand looks great btw.

Cant Find info on this sand anywhere. I bought it at pet smarts and it says safe for freshwater/saltwater. It seems to be really fine grain sand and is very very white. Anyone have any prior experience with this sand? Cost 30 dollars for 20 pounds of the stuff so it better be good.

probably hair algae.

Read the OP wrong, and Thought it was the SW tank.

Cool looking tank though I prefer a more natural look. Wouldn't this be a better thread for the SW forum?

Looks cool. I went out and bought some sand for my freshwater 29g today (cost me 29 dollars after tax for 20 pounds ><) from petsmart nut I'm not going to put it in until the tank is free of ich.
