I had five Zebra Danios in my 10 gallon tank. After a year of being peaceful, two of them began bullying the lone Tiger Guppy. I moved the danios into a new 55 gallon tank based off some advice from here. The danios have been good in their new home. I just introduced a group of 12 corydora...

Bummer! I just did a small water change a couple of days ago. It was covering the glass so I really just wanted to scrub it off that. Will this go away on its own then? Or is this something that will get completely out of control? Also, if I see an ammonia spike, should I do a small water...

I setup and started cycling a 55 gallon, planted tank about three weeks ago. I was having issues getting any type of readings on the big three (made an earlier post about it.) I ended up putting in five zebra danios and three zebra Nerites about a week ago and went for the fish-in cycle. I...

Thank you for the information. Super helpful. I am assuming I should not do any water changes until I see ammonia show up on the tests? I was planning on leaving the tank alone for a while.

I was not planning on adding more fish for a while. If anything, I planned on adding some snails and shrimp next. The danios weren’t apart of my original stocking plan, so I will be figuring out what I want to do with that. I was afraid of doing a “fish in” cycle, but after following the...

I was ghost feeding originally. I ended up adding five zebra danios four days ago. (It was an emergency and I needed them removed from their other tank.) I figured since the ammonia and nitrite levels were non existent, I would put them in. So far everything has been fine, and the danios have...

I set up a 55 gallon tank over a week ago. It has one Java fern, two anbuias and four Ludwigia Repens. After the initial setup, I added some water from my 10 gallon tank, ghost fed and added bacteria (aquavitro seed.) After the first three days, I started testing the water everyday and have...

Do all danios school together? I’m assuming I can mix and match them?

I would probably rather have colorful schooling fish. Perhaps sprinkle in a random fish or two that can be alone (and that is larger.) The tank is moderately planted right now. (A lot of the plants are little and growing.) I have some Java Fern, Anubias and Ludwigia Repens. There’s also decor...

I recently set up a 55 gallon and it’s currently going through its cycling process. In the mean time, I’m trying to get ideas on how to stock it. I’m open to anything, but am leaning towards something colorful, as my tank setup is rather colorless. Please share your ideas! (Keep in mind I’m...

I don’t mind the noise too much. I have sensitive hearing when it comes to these high and low frequencies that electronics put out, so I think it tends to bother me more than others. My house is pretty small, and the tank is basically in the center of it. I’m trying to find the QUIETEST filter...

A few years ago I got a little Top Fin 10 gallon starter kit. I never had issues with it and it’s still running great today. I recently purchased the same starter kit, but for a 55 gallon. I noticed the filter seemed relatively loud, but I have no idea if this is normal or not. My 10 gallon...

I will be upgrading these guys to a 40 gallon tank for now. I’m just curious on how many danios are appropriate for a tank this size (I hope it’s big enough) and if it would be okay to continue having the guppy by himself? I have been reading that guppy schools can get a little tricky.

I was hoping on setting up a 90 gallon tank at some point, but it probably would not be soon enough to relieve my little guppy. I don’t think I would want to put anymore fish in the 10 gallon due to over stocking. I guess it’s time to expedite the larger tank process!

They are danios. I always find myself calling them tetras.

That’s a bummer. I was told guppies were fine being alone. That makes me a little sad now knowing he could be experiencing anxiety by being by himself. I just thought it was odd because the tetras have left him alone this entire time and then now, randomly, they are bullying him. Apologies -...

I have had a 10 gallon tank (heavily planted) with five zebra tetras and one tiger guppy. (All males) They have all lived together for over a year with no issues. A few days ago, I noticed the guppy hiding in a barrel. He would still come out to eat and he looked fine. I finally found out that...

Thank you! I was originally worried that he hides out all day, as I can’t keep track of his health. I wanted to see if this was normal behavior. Every couple of months I see him out for a couple of second and then, POOF! He’s gone…

About a year ago I purchased a variety of fish for my tank. Among them was this little guy. I cannot, for the life of me, remember what kind of fish he is. (He sort of randomly found his way into my selections when I found out he jumped from one tank into another.) Is he some different type of...

I have a 10 gallon tank with zebra danios, an albino Cory cat fish and a tiger guppy. I am curious if I should put in an air stone? The filter currently puts a small current in the water, but I am wondering if the air stone is necessary? The tank is heavily planted and all of the fish have high...
