Everyone with a 5-20G tank!!! Bragging rights!!

[hughitt1]

heres my plan... help me out if im wrong here...
-3 glolight tetra
-2 cherry barbs
-4 bronze corys
-5-8 ghost shrimp

I would go with panda or pygmy cories instead of the bronze, they are smaller and will be more comftorable, and also make your tank look larger.

Also, instead of doing 3 glolights and 2 cherry barbs, i would pick one or the other and get about 5-6 of them-- both are schooling fish so they won't be too happy in such smaller numbers, but if you add too many of each, then tank will be kinda crowded. Having a school of just one kind can provide a nice uniform kind of look to the tank.

I would also consider planting the tank if you are not already- all of the fish will appreciate it, and it will look very nice, providing some contrast for the pretty tetras or barbs.

gl!

I have a 10g cycling with 2 white clouds and 2 zebra danios but the white clouds are moving out and I plan on getting more zebras for a max of maybe 7. Feel free to let me know if that's too much! Other than that there's rocks and plastic plants in there, trying to decide on a background.

I'm in the process of getting a 30g up and running, it will have 6 white clouds, 6 neon tetras and i don't know what else yet. It will also have driftwood and rocks.

java fern, foxtail, narrow-leaf ludwiga have all grown fine for me under low-lighting conditions.

29 gallon:
1 rainbow shark
1 pleco (bristle nose)
3 swordtail
4 white skirt tetras
4 phantom tetras

15 gallon:
7 Tiger barbs

10 gallon:
6 cory cats
(I highly recomend cory cats. They are active, fun and cute, and if you get panda cories or pygmy cories they will stay small and you can keep a small school in you 10 gallon with a few other small and peaceful fish).

I have a 10 g with 1 male CT betta, 4 albino corys, and 1 mystery snail. I have 2 live plants and 2 fake plants, along with a rock cave hidding place. Any suggestions? I plan to get many more real plants along the way.

I have a 5 gallon hex with 2 ADF and 3 zebra danio. I have been told by many people with bigger tanks (that I can't afford right now as I am in grad school) that my tank is overstocked. Any ideas from fellow folks with smaller tanks?

My 5 year old's 15 gallon has 7 various zebra danios:

3 Glofish (1 red, 1 orange, 1 green)
1 plain zebra danio
1 long finned blue danio
1 long finned gold danio
1 leopard danio

Definately a kid's tank, lots of activity and he can easily tell all the fish apart so he can call them by their names.

Currently, my 10gallon is cycling, but will have 1 Dwarf Gourami this weekend. I am intending to add a Blue Ram sometimes soon, within the next few weeks. I think that will be it for a while, I still need to add one or two hiding caves before I introduce the Blue Ram. That should keep my tank nice and colorful/lively in my rather small, drab, and boring bedroom in my apartment suite.

Your choice...but I would NOT add a Blue ram to any new tank. They are so delicate fish that you need a well seasoned tank that is also well maintained.

Putting a blue ram into a tank within the first few months after cycling...is a death sentence for the fish.
