What's the next fish you're getting?

[MommyGourami]

My plakat betta for my 10 gallon tank is due to arrive this morning! Eagerly awaiting!

 

[DoubleDutch]

Yahoooooo friday 5 Sewellia hillstreamloaches will arrive in my rivertank !!!!

 

[MommyGourami]

Annnnnnnd here he is in a tannin-filled 10 gallon!

 

[Linda1234]

This is my next fish for now:


He was totally free with his 40 bothers and sisters.

 

[Thunder_o_b]

6 more golden zebra loaches as soon as more come in. No rush, I have 6 that are in their second week in QT.

 

[Shamannite80]

Recently got 7 von rio flame tetras and next week I'm getting 8 L397 for my breeding project.

 

[BunnieWarren]

If I can keep the NO³ down and get more plants, maybe a couple honey gouramis or platys

What are your nitrates at?

 

[BunnieWarren]

What are your nitrates at?

They're between 10 and 20 the day of my weekly water change. I dialed back on the amount I feed as well.

That is perfectly safe for fish and any plants you put in will drop that. Time to go shopping.

I was afraid 20 was too high tbh. Glad to hear. Thanks.

 

[Shamannite80]

Not a problem. Nitrates can go fairly high before becoming toxic to fish but with plants that won't be a problem. Make sure to get some root tabs for the plants.

Not sure how long you've had these; but when mine reached around a year they discovered a love of jumping through small holes...

Starting second week. I have had them before. Haply I have full glass canopies on all aquariums

 

[bettasXD]

I wanna get a pair of bettas(1 male and 1 female) as soon as I move to get more tanks and cycle their tanks. I am planning on breeding them. Can’t wait to move XD Maybe a couple of snails too(although they aren’t fish but I am going to include it anyway)

If you want to do a betta pair try wild bettas like Betta mahachai (my favorite), Betta imbellis, Betta Smarginidna. In mine and my friends combined experience Betta mahachai tend to the best with breeding and look term pairing in a tank

 

[TropicalFlow]

im gonnna get long-fin zebra danios

 

[cyirra]

I want to try and find a couple more Galaxy Rasboras and i need about 3 more Ember tetras, I'm down to only 3, the poor things. If i find them i will have to move one of the schools out of the community tank...the Harlequins would be easiest to catch so it might be them.

 

[CHJ]

The LFS just got in a load of baby Ranger plecos.. Hmmm

 

[Rgtx]

Possibly 3 Cory's and a electric blue acara

 

[RIFishbowl]

Next fish are in ,recently got four Bleeding Heart Tetras.Doing great, fun to watch them feed. they don't miss what they are feeding on.

What size tank are the embers in? I have about 14 in a 10 gallon.

 

[CHJ]

Maybe another wolf fish if we think it might be a girl.

Or.. these



At first glance I though they were britskiis.. Nope. They would also need to go in a tank with a light substrate to get them to go white. Luckily that is almost all my tanks. The LFS's "guy" in Peru said he just had to buy them.
I'm bad with britskiis (tend to get lost) but good with otos. I'm not sure which Nannoptopoma or Hypoptopoma are closer to. They sound like they will price out at 30$ each. I do have an open 10 gal that is growing algae as a possible hillstream tank.

 

[Wayne73]

I ve just invested in 8 golden cardinal tetras. I'll add some photos once they're colours come back an they've settled down

 

[Fisch]

Annnnnnnd here he is in a tannin-filled 10 gallon!

Where did you get him from?
With the 125gl in the make I will have a lot of space. Got 11 Golden Minnows, they are exploring my QT right now... 8 weeks quarantine starting now
LFS also had Embers, they are rarely available and I could not resist.
So I got 11 of those and they are exploring the 20gl right now. Beautiful!!!

 

[cyirra]

My Embers are in a 29 gallon with some pygmy corydoras, my 5 galaxy rasboras, 5 neon tetras and cherry shrimp.

 

[Katie13]

I've got a lot in the works! All for breeding purposes!
1. Apistogramma Macmasteri Red Shoulder Trio
2. Apistogramma Cacatuoides Super Red Trio
3. Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi Pair
4. Mikrogeophagus Ramirezi var. Gold Pair
5. Apistogramma Agassizii Double Red Trio
6. Apistogramma Agassizii Fire Red Trio
7. Pelvicachromis Pulcher Pair

 

[b33fsquatch]

After my ember tetras swim to the great beyond I think I will get chili rasboras.

 

[devsi]

Electric Blue Acaras! Ordered and arriving Tuesday morning (very excited)!

QT was setup yesterday; just need to add the Seachem Prime, put the sponge filter in and I’m ready for them.

Not sure how long I’ll leave them in quarantine for; maybe a week?

 

[Shamannite80]

Still waiting on shipping and weather to clear up so my 397 can ship. I also ordered two pair of blue phantoms.

Prism Bettas!

 

[Debbie1986]

I want an Oscar.... tel me no! LOL. Co-workers Dad had one, and they sound super wonderful fish to have.

Maybe in a few years. I have to figure out the logistics of where I could put such a large tank.

 

[ForBettaorForWorse]

For now, I just need to finish my school of Cories.... Beyond that I eventually want to get a trio of Blue Moscow guppies to cross with the guppies I have now. I figure it would look really pretty

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

Got a shipment coming in soon with more endlers, CPDs, cherry shrimp and plants

 

[ForBettaorForWorse]

Ugh, I want so many different fish, and I don't have enough space for them. Pea Puffers are on my list, as well as a purple Firefish for my planned saltwater tank.

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

I shouldn’t have read the salt water set up thread… I want to get a pea puffer tank on my desk some time after I finish the tank on my dresser lol. Oh and a 125 gallon with all sorts of things. And another one and another one and another one

 

[ForBettaorForWorse]

Lol, it sounds like we have similar goals... Alas, I have to wait until we come back from working all summer... Late August for those goals.

 

[Linda1234]

Why does everyone want money for their fishes; shouldn't they just give them away ? That is what i was wondering when I was looking at a pair of pygmy sunfish for $80.

 

[SkyMac]

On my next trip to the lfs i'm planning on picking these up, what is the next fish you plan on getting?

Harlequin Rasbora
White Cloud Mountain Minnows(Gold)
Panda Corydoras
Zebra Loaches
KuhlI Loaches
Celestial Pearl Danios
Liquorice Gourami
Snakeskin Gourami

Obviously they aren't all going together and the majority are adding to existing schools. I hope they have the Liquorice Gourami, they had not long sold out last time I was there.

Kuhli loaches are really fun! I'd add them to more tanks if I could, but most of my tanks have gravel substrate. Might add a couple more to my sorority tank in the future.

Ember tetras! They'll be my first fish, got cherry shrimp last week. I'm so excited

Oooh, that's gonna look really nice!

 

[BigManAquatics]

Not gonna lie. Next fish will probably be another rabbit snail if the LFS still has them next time i go.

 

[Linda1234]

Ok it isn't a fish but i picked up some cherry shrimps late last week:

 

[V1K]

I'm planning to get a vampire shrimp (never had it, but I like a bamboo shrimp that I have and they seem to be similar in lifestyle) and more Amano shrimp (already have some, but want more). Would have gotten them on Monday, but there were unexpected obsticles, and now I'll only have free time to get them next week.

 

[Hellfishguy]

I should be picking up a new pair of spadetail checkerboard cichlids tomorrow. I kept and bred them several years back & I consider them one of top three of all the cichlid species I’ve ever had. They’re very alert and inquisitive and a lot of fun to watch. That’s a male in my avatar pic.

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

Clown killies once my CPDs settle in.

 

[veggieshark]

Got some cyprichromis leptosoma for my tanganykan tank, and a trio of Limia tridens. Lost one of the females from the trio already.

Out of interest, what are the other two?


I am not sure yet what my next fish will be, but I am wondering about Uaru...we are currently making a tank that is 2m long and has a volume of 845 liters or 223 gallons (not taking into account substrate etc.). I will put my festivums and severum in there, but my first two choices of additional fish to include are now not likely to be available. However my lfs does have some Uaru and it probably would be my only opportunity to get any. Still not 100% sure due to their very large adult size and extreme plant eating behaviour, still thinking about it but maybe......

 

[Peaches1710]

Honey Gourami for me!

Your snail has great hair !!

 

[Hellfishguy]

Laetacara curviceps. First cichlid I successfully bred & responsible for a serious case of MTS.

Apistogramma ortegai. Ridiculously beautiful, undemanding & not too difficult to breed.

LOTS of runners-up.

 

[Fishyfishyfishman]

Now I must look up that Apisto

Edit-Now in love with those thanks… I didn’t know I wanted that now. Unfortunately water parameters are terrible for me to keep
