    Recommend some community fish

    Turquoise Rainbowfish are available at Petsmart and most Petcos. They're gorgeous.

    Stocking

    So, I have a 40 gallon breeder that I'm setting up and wanting to keep a low stock in. It's probably going to be bare bottom with potted plants (at least for a while), because I don't want a big planty mess when I have to move at the beginning of next year. I also have an Aquaclear 300 running...

    What to get?

    Zebra Danios, White Cloud Mountain Minnows, Garra, most barbs...

    Good semi-aggressive fish?

    If you keep the danios in a group of 10+ they pretty much pay attention to each other and nothing else.

    Fish in tall tank

    Spotted Climbing Perch can take advantage of that sort of space too.

    40 Breeder Stock List

    So, my landlords changed their pet policy, so I have to consolidate to one tank (one aquarium no more than 50 gallons per residence:angryfire:). Thankfully, I hadn't even started setting up and stocking my 40B that I got from Petco yet, but it looks like once I get my filter and heater in the...

    300 Gallon stocking game

    SE Asian temperate biotope, heavily planted (with a crapton of vals, anubias, java fern, and crypts, and some java moss): *Note that I'd prefer Macropodus spechti aka Black Paradise Fish to Macropodus opercularis, and the trio would be a breeding group... **I'd also prefer Tanichthys micagemmae...

    STOCKING STRATEGY

    Aqadvisor is a tool. It has limitations and issues (like encouraging slight overstocking), but it is amazing to get a good idea of what you want for your tank. For a rule of thumb, aim to understock as your fish will be healthier, you won't have to go crazy with waterchanges (still do at least...

    STOCKING STRATEGY

    The thing about Aquadvisor is that their stock lists tend to be really "forgiving". I usually pretend 80% stock on Aquadvisor is 100% stock for my tank. I actually shoot for what Aquadvisor says will be 60-70%.

    Kuhli's with my stock

    You definitely have a low stock on the 1st tank, so Kuhlis would be great in there. The second has a lot of Angels, so I would avoid it, or move the cories to the 1st tank (if they're the same species) because you could definitely bump up those schools.

    10 gallon stocking

    I would try a school of Celestial Pearl Danios, personally.

    Stock list?

    Seconded. Three more neons is maxing out your tank space. Do not get a Dario dario, do not get other kinds of fish, do not pass go, do not collect $100. Your tank is small, unfortunately, and cannot support all the stuff you want right now. However, you could check on Craigslist and see if...

    finalizing my fishy selection...

    I'd not do the Hillstream Loach. Just because people keep them without flow, doesn't mean they like it/it's okay for them. All the Hillstream profiles on Loaches.com recommend heavy flow, so I'd steer clear of that.

    My favorite school...

    I've got a school of 2 Blackskirts, 1 Whiteskirt, and 3 Glofish Tetras in my 29 gallon.

    Stock for a 90 gallon?

    Eartheater Chichlids are pretty chill, and you could get a few of the smaller species in a 90 and have room for some larger tetras or something. They also definitely fall into the "cool" and "different" categories. IMHO biotope tanks are really cool, so you could try something like a river...

    Stock list?

    Definitely up to neons to at least six or seven, because they need friends. Nothing more though, and you're gonna need to be pretty on the ball with water changes and checking your parameters as that's a pretty large stock for a small tank.

    30gal stocking

    Petsmart (at least the one near me) also occasionally has bulldog and clown plecos too, both of which only get around 5 inches max. However, if you get a clown pleco, good luck ever seeing it again if your tank has any kind of plant growth/hiding spaces at all. I've had mine for about a month...

    would you buy one of these fish?

    Please inject me with glowing DNA. I wanna be that kid from Sky High who's only power was bio luminescence. Also, as someone with glofish tetras, I totally want some.

    Maintenance Music

    I usually just put Pandora on either my Britney Spears or Glitch Mob radio stations.

    Fish names?

    I usually name fish that "grow one me." I had a Dojo Loach named Gandalf growing up, my favorite Angelfish was named "Buffy" (as in "the vampire slayer), and she shared the tank with "John Winchester" the Red Tailed Shark. Currently, the only named fish I have is "Rory" the Blackskirt Tetra...
