I'm finally selling my beautiful (and empty) Oceanic Nature's View 55g aquarium.
It's a gorgeous medium oak color and has NEVER BEEN FILLED. Oceanic does NOT make this type of aquarium anymore so get this rare beauty while it lasts!!
I am the original owner and I purchased it brand new in...
That was EXACTLY my same reaction when I saw my 4 pygmys foraging for the first time this weekend :). I love corys. Maybe all do an all cory tank someday? They're insane and so fun to watch!
Ok. Good points have been made.
I have changed it to:
6 Cardinal Tetras
3-4 Panda Corys
The last question is this: Can I go with 4 Panda Corys or must I go with 3 due to stocking levels?
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help!
This tank will NOT have live plants in it. If I decide to have a live plant then I'll go with a surface plant like hornwort. Otherwise, I don't want live plants lol :).
I plan to do 25-30% weekly water changes.
Based on that information, will it be "overstocked" ?
If so, then I'll...
I've revised it again .. I like Panda Cories much more than Pygmys.
3 Hatchets
5 Cardinal Tetras
4 Panda Corys
What do you all think? I want to do 25-30% water changes weekly too, btw.
I have a 10g that's fully cycled and I'm thinking of the following fish:
3 Hatchets
6 Cardinal Tetras
4 Pygmy Cories
I can go with 4 Tetras and 3 cories if needed (or 4 tetras, 4 cories, etc).
Is this a good mix? I'm going for top, middle and bottom dwellers!
I picked up a bag of the Quikrete commercial sand (medium) last night and it's more like a very fine gravel - and it is NOT white! It's very "river"/neutral color stuff. I'm satisfied with it but it doesn't fully look like I have a sand tank. :(.
Will the "sand" still need to be sifted? I...
What's better for a simple, freshwater (non-planted) community tank (as far as the bacteria colony)? The fine blend or can I go with the medium (easier to deal with, as far as cleaning)?
Is the commercial grade sand pre-washed like the play sand is?
Please let me know today as I have to pick some up for a 10 gallon freshwater community tank and would rather get WHITE sand than ugly play sand too! :)
Is 0.30ppm of phosphate straight out of my city tap water going to cause me algae problems in a freshwater aquarium? Nitrate is 5.840ppm, btw.
I haven't started my aquarium (55g) because I'm not finished researching everything on God's green earth.
I've got three options:
1)...
Is there a website available that shows different aquariums and their aquascapes?
I am trying to gather ideas and want to glean off of other people's aquariums (freshwater primarily for now) AND online pictures.
It'd be nice if more people would post pictures along WITH the specs of their...
How about Onyx in a non-CO2 low-light tank? The price isn't an issue just maintanence. I have little time but would like the best of both worlds (some plants but not enough to need constant attention, less frequent water changes because of the plants, etc). Just trying to find a happy medium :)
