Thanks everyone My mom keeps telling me she thinks that the danios need to be in a group of 12 to school...*sigh* So I told her if she wants more fish than are in my plan, she has to help with the water changes. *shakes head* And she keeps saying "When to we get those blue striped ones? Are we getting those? Oh I like guppies! Can we get guppies? Oh wow! Let's get a huge tank and get Oscars! Can we put Discus in your 29?" And things like that... And she wants me to get a pair of Gourami...

lol, you should pass the MTS along to your mother a huge oscar tank would be awesome!

That is fabulous that she is so supportive of your hobby! If I were you, i would run with it and get as many tanks as she would let me! LOL

momo9700

I know! But she doesn't like lot's of tanks... I barely get my 29 setup, and she wants to get rid of my 10!!! And she saw a HUGE 75gal tall...and she wants that for Discus and probobly oscars...But then she'd get rid of my 29gal...-_-

hkirchen

That's why you put fish she absolutely loves in the 29 and 10 so that she would not have the heart to get rid of them.

Congratz on your Danios!

I have a Powder Blue DG and a Pearl Gourmai but are in seperate tanks. They both are great fish to have. Gouramis love frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp along with flake food I also feed mine freeze dried bloodworms. You feed your fish a variety of foods and it brings out their colors.

I feed my platies tropical crisps and bloodworms, the smaller fish(danios right now) will get a mix of crushed flakes and crisps and one tiny bloodworm. Gave it to my danios today, they love it. But it took them awhile to realize there's food in the tank.

Cool! I like watching my Pearl suck in the freeze dried bloodworms like spaghetti

momo9700

LOL! That's funny. I like watching my platies eat... Sparta usually grabs about 2 bloodworms at once and tears them to shreads Then ricky will try to steal whatever Sparta is eating. My neon just frantically swims around catching whatever leftovers he can get.
The danios though... Messy eaters... They keep making the food sink, then they're too slow to catch it before it sinks... Then they're just like "Oh noes... we dropped all our food... Feed us again! We promise! We won't drop it this time!" Like little piggies... I just shake my head... I'll give them itsy bitsy little amounts next time and wait for them to finish so they don't knock it all over before they finish...

If you ant a loner, I would suggest a dwarf. If you want a pair, I suggest pearls. I know from personal experience that a female dwarf usually will pick on a male dwarf, and it won't fight back. But that doesn't happen all the time.

lol your an old man!

I'll just type up my experience with gourami's.

I started my tank out with two dwarf's and a blue gourami. They seemed to get along, but then one dwarf and the blue one started to pick on the other dwarf, so I put him in a different tank. He stayed shy and hid alot, and eventually he just suddenly died. Same with my other dwarf. He started to attack all the other fish in my tank, and I went away for a day and came home and he was dead I still have my blue gourami. He's by far my favorite fish. He's so gentle and fun to watch, especially when he reaches out with his feelers :3 He's about.. three or four inches big? I highly recommend blue gouramis. They have three spots on their sides, and sometimes they disappear and the gourami turns a dark blue.

Do they eat baby guppies? I'm looking for a solo fish to add to the guppy tank to control the population!

Good luck with your fish. I'm also 15 and thinking of setting up an aquarium. I also get bored easily.
