Tetras do best in schools of at least 6 species (i'd recommend smaller kind like Neon for a 10g) and Sparkling Gouramis would do well if you get at least 3 of them, preferably one male and two females. The problem you may see is more of a compatibility nature. Betta may start harassing the...

Hi, all, I really need an advice! I’ve introduced new German blue ram to my 12 gallon heavily planted aquarium recently and few days later he developed Ich. :sad Other tank mates include 1 female ram, 2 otocinclus and 6 neon tetras. Water conditions are in check – very low nitrate, ph 6.4...

I am feeding my fish the whole line of Hikari products and they enjoy it very much. Neon tetras go crazy for Micro Pellets that are specifically designed for small-mouthed fish. For my Blue Rams there is Cichlid Complete pellet and few times a week all my fish gets Bio-Pure freeze-dried brine...

Hi, Sorry to hear about your Ram :sad I’ve also added a pair of German Blue Rams recently. First day I’ve lost a female and immediately exchanged her for another. In a couple of days they laid eggs, next day the male was dead and female ate the eggs. After few days I’ve added a new male and...

Hi, all! I've read in many articles that Blue Rams prefer higher water temperatures of low to mid eighties. Here is just one of them: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/FWSubWebIndex/rams.htm I keep my tank with a pair of Germans at about 80F-81F, but I'm not sure if that is warm enough for them...

Hello, everyone! Two days ago I’ve added a pair of German blue rams to my aquarium and last night I spotted a male scratching, I also spotted that well-known white spot on one of my neon tetras and assume I am at the beginning of an Ich outbreak. There are also two otos in the tank, but they...

Hi, I bought a pair two days ago and they do exactly the same with food. I am a bit worried. I have a heavily planted tank and a school of neon tetras, so they weren’t hiding at all, but not only that, their behavior is the absolutely opposite. They are swimming restlessly up and down in one...

Hello, everyone! I would like to add few more fish to my current setup and see several ways of doing it. My 12 gallon aquarium is heavily planted and water changes of 30%-50% are done once or sometimes even twice a week. The tank is well established and Nitrate readings stay below 10ppm. The...

TKOS, thank you for your advice! I agree with you on a bigger tank and decided not to add any other fish to my 12 gallon. I also agree that cardinals are probably not the best choice and will try to pick some other kind. Thanks again for your help, F.

thank you all for replying :) TKOS, i am not planning to keep the 12g once i move my angels to 25. i will transfer all my plants, fish, maybe even substrate to the new tank and was thinking about adding some other fish. what i need to decide, is when is the best time to add tetras, now to...

Hi, all! In my 12 gallon planted aquarium I have two small angelfish (they’ll be transferred to a bigger tank very soon) and two otos. Do you think it is safe to add a small school of cardinal tetras? Any advice is greatly appreciated, F.

I used to be a cat person. Had a cat for several years and then got married. Soon we realized that my husband is allergic to cats and I had to say goodbye to my kitty. She lives with my parents now and I see her from time to time. When she disappeared from our apartment, I was inconsolable...

thank you for the reply :) i was thinking about upgrading to a 25g tall, this is the most i could fit into my apartment :mad2 but what if my angels are the same sex? i suppose this may lead to some serious fighting ones they mature (even in a bigger tank). what should i do then? keeping...

Hello everyone. I‘m new to this forum, I find it very informative and friendly, so i've decided to ask for an advice. I have two small angelfish (about quarter sized bodies) in a 12g eclipse aquarium plus two otos. The tank is heavily planted with various anubias species, cryptocornes, dwarf...
