10 gallon can be a mission to maintain but that's subjective. If it were me I would plant the heck out of it, which should not be too costly since it's small. I'd get a school of ember tetra and a female Betta. Or a beautiful male Betta and nothing else. Good luck

Fish jumping out of the tank should be enough to get a lid imo. I've had them both and every open top tank I've had has had jumpers, all kinds of different types of fish. If you don't really mind losing a fish here or there then go for the open top. Personally having to top my tanks off from...

Thanks. I hear that they do eventually go away. I have another tank that I waited for that to happen and it was several months and it didn't get much better so I got tired of looking at the ugly diatoms and cleaned it off the rocks and it hasn't come back. As far as the gravel goes in my other...

Hello, I just removed about 3 lbs of gravel covered in diatoms. I was thinking a bleach or vinegar soak for 24 hours they heavy rinse should do the trick. Any recommendations?? Thank you

Hello, I have 2 Ranchu goldfish that have anchor worm and what looks like lice. They have white bugs literally crawling all over them. I completely emptied the tank and cleaned it and have been treating with Paraguard for about 4 days now. The fish have been huddled in a corner and don't really...

Hello, I have a 50 gallon stocked with 16 tiger barb. I originally had 10 of the common stripped tiger barb the yellow ones with black stripes with black sand substrate. I thought the substrate was a little boring and everything showed so I went with a fine gravel but my barb literally blend in...

Hello, does any one know of a duckbill that would fit an Eheim Classic discharge (Eheim 2215)...I have spray bars and really would prefer duckbill for my current setup. Any links would be great or suggestions...Thanks

Hello I have 11 tiger barb, 1 Bolivian Ram and 1 female Apistogramma in a 50 gallon (36x18x18) I have had zero issues, and wanted to report MY experience for anyone who might be wondering if this would work. Personally, I wouldn't try this in anything smaller than a 40 breeder. TB get pretty...

Great points. Thanks. Yeah Congo Tetra do get big which is why I wanted them. I didn't think about the food with apistograma I thought they were going to be more like German Rams which are more outgoing from what I have come to realize. I have plenty of filtration and I don't mind over feeding...

Hello setup my 50 gallon (36X18x18) aquarium. So far I have the following: 2 Apistogramma 12 neon tetra 12 black neon tetra 5 Congo Tetra I was looking to stock another school of larger tetra just not sure how compatible they might be. I was thinking.... Lamp eye tetra and maybe uping my...

Wow! Ok thanks for the response!

Wow lol can I do 3 females and and school of Tiger Barb?? Or are they still mean

Can I put ANY dither fish in with a breeding pair of Convicts???? Was thinking TigerBarb.....since they are also EVIL lol. I'm ok with using the tank just for Cons but would be nice to have something else in there as well. Thanks

For sure!

Yes I was concerned with that. I'm going to just get one as centerpiece fish. I'll keep the Apistoramma and probably a school of tiger barb. Hoping Barb and Apistoramma don't become an issue

Do you think 2 EB Acara is pushing it? I was thinking maybe just one. They get pretty big. I forgot to mention I have 3 apistoramma in the tank as well. I can move them if I absolutely must. I'm leaning towards barbs now. Thanks

Hello, have decided on getting a pair of Electric Blue Acara. I was intially looking at Convicts but I read Acara are "nicer" when it comes to tank mates. My tank is 36" x 18" x 18". I'm looking for some good tank mates, was thinking tiger barbs but they are kind of crazy and would like to try...

Thanks for all the advise. I'm going to stick to smaller size cichlids. I'm def going with 50g and 2 convincts. I was thinking about a school of tiger barb to go along with them. Thoughts? Thinking 7-8 TigerBarb, they get some size to them as well. Not having the extra foot kills me, a 75 would...

Thank you, glad to hear there ARE options. Im looking for something on the bigger side. I have German Rams and they are near little fish. I really like the look of Salvini Cichlids. Would a breeding pair work in a 50? It sound like 65 makes more sense
