Its a 20 but I have a Nerite in my warm tank. I thought they needed the warmer waters. I could move it to the cool tank.

I need one and don't know what to get that can handle 65-70 degrees..Also we have hard water if that makes a difference. Nothing too hard to find, we are rural and don't have a lot of choices.

Okay so my cool water aquarium is running around 78 degrees. It has 9 Danios and 6 peppered cories.Is that too warm? I have no heater on. I think its the lights heating the water. I have the Nicrew Led strip and now have lots of algae too..Also I need an algae eater that can handle cool water...

What is the warmest temps that will still keep them comfortable. I'm trying to decide what other fish to put in with them. BTW its a 20 long with pool sand, unplanted. I am trying to decide if guppys will do okay with them, if not I am rehoming the guppies and getting danios or some other cooler...

Really cool stuff. I use a piece of styrofoam with holes poked in it to hold my test tubes for my water tests..Ive not seen any holders at the lfs here, you market those Id buy one.

I might go with a snail, I don't want a big bio load..I would love shrimp but not sure if I could keep them alive they look so fragile

I dropped a smushed pea in and they ignored it, but the platys really loved it. I bought some bloodworms, which the platies also ate before they could reach the bottom..What pigs... I want to order some brine shrimp eggs, they sound like fun.

I have another tank(20 tall) I'm setting up, it will be awhile before its ready though. I want a guppy tank, I love guppies. Are there any bottom feeders that I can keep single or pairs, with a gravel bottom and hard water? I know that's a lot to expect but thought Id ask.THX

Bummer, was hoping to get a different kind to mix it up. But I will get more peppered, I don't want to overload the tank so have to wait a week or two.

Okay so my 20 long is perfectly cycled and I got 3 peppered corys. Is this enough or should I get a couple more? Also will different species of corys still hang together? So if I find a couple pandas will they school with the peppered? Also what do they eat? I have some sinking shrimp...

I probably won't be able to find the pygmy cories anyway. My local fish store has nothing, not even the panda cories..They have all the very basic fish. Our water is very hard and alkaline so that is something to be considered.

I can't get Prime locally. I would have to order it so wouldnt do much good two weeks from now.

Thank you so much for the heads up. My tap is almost a solid 2ppm with ammonia...I posted about it in the beginners forum so I could get more attention and some quick help.

What the heck is going on? I thought my tank went crazy or something Ive never seen ammonia this high before so how do I deal with this? Its not like I can do a water change..Is this going to kill my cycle?

Actually no I did not check the tap. We have had lots of water mains busted all around our area, it could have affected water quality. I just can't imagine were else it could have come from unless there is a dead bug or something like that in the tank.
