Who Gives A Fish Forums

I think adding some more plants will really help your tetras feel more secure, I've had similar issues with mine being shy. For low-light plants, you might want to consider Amazon frogbit or water wisteria, they're both pretty easy to care for and provide great coverage. If you're looking for ...

I'm looking to add more plants to my 10-gallon tank before introducing shrimp. I want to give them plenty of hiding spots, and also help my tetras feel more secure - they're pretty shy and only come up to the surface to eat. I think the bright light might be intimidating them, so I'm thinking of ...

Looks promising.

I think Bleu should be fine, fish can survive for a week without food, so three pebbles every other day seems like it'll be okay. What's his usual feeding schedule, though, and how much do you normally give him?

Viral septicemia - basically a viral infection that affects fish, often leading to hemorrhaging and death. It's one of the few diseases mentioned in general aquarium literature, but it's still a mystery to many of us, and treatments are mostly trial and error.

I mean, if you're changing a lot of tank water on a regular basis, you don't have to worry too much about the water ...

Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate it. I'm still pretty new to live plants, I've just started getting into them. I've got Fluval plant substrate under the sand, so the plants should be getting the nutrients they need. My light is an AQ085-14w model, not really sure what brand it is ...

I'm about to order some plants for my 10 gallon tank, which is home to neons, black neons, serpae, and von rio tetras - I know, it's overstocked. I'm planning to get another tank soon to give them more space. I've got my eyes on Anubias nana petite, Java fern microsorum pteropus, a cryptocoryne ...

It's tough to pinpoint the ideal tank size for your setup down the line. You've got a lot of fish that are naturally aggressive and can grow quite large, all in a relatively small tank. Most of these fish need a minimum of a 55-gallon tank, but personally, I think a 75 or even a 100-gallon tank ...
