What are the best freshwater fish for 54 Gallon bowfront corner Tank?

Posted on May 17, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Ok so after I posted a questions last week, I quickly realized I had to upgrade the size of my tank. I will be going from a 20 gallon High to a 54 Gallon corner bowfront. I have 2 Pictus Cats, 2 Clown Loaches, 2 Silver Dollars, @ Gourami, and a Rainbow Shark going into the bowfront. Any suggestions on the transfer process? Also, I was thinking of adding another loach and silver dollar. Any other suggestions? What about something weird like a freshwater shrimp??

Final question, should I install air pumps?? Thanks!!
All the fish are very small (less than 2 inches)

Interesting fish for a 10 gallon freshwater tank?

Posted on December 7, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Well, my 10 gallon is finally established, but I am a little disappointed. My tank looks amazing, but my fish (6 black neon tetras, 1 male dalmatian molly and 1 cory catfish, along with a few shrimp and snails) aren’t very entertaining. My tetras stick together in one corner, and my molly stays near the surface with minimal movement. I was thinking of moving the tetras to a 29 gallon, and I need some good replacements.
What are some cool fish that look nice and are fun to watch?
So far I am getting 3 zebra danios and 1 female dalmatian molly, what else should I put in there?
Larger species are OK, as I will relocate them to a 29 gallon once they grow.
thanks
to see my tank, youtube search “Black neon tetras 10 gallon tank” its the first one. tell me what you think
Ok I will add some plants soon and post another video of how the tetras are doing; hopefully they will start swimming around if not they are going to my 29 gallon
like I said I will move larger fish (including the molly) to a 29 gallon once the time comes so size doesn’t matter

Feeding live Brine Shrimp?

Posted on September 11, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

I’m currently cycling an Eclipse 5 gallon corner fish tank (freshwater) housing a single juvenile Zebra Danio and an African Dwarf Frog. My equipment includes a bio-wheel filter, hood lamp, air stone, large gravel substrate and a 25-watt Top Fin heater that is currently set at low and produces a consistent water temp. of 77.5 degrees. (sorry if this was all useless info!)

Basically, I’m looking to diversify/enhance said Danio’s & ADF’s current diet of flake food and frozen blood worms. Preferably, I’d like to find a local pet store (Seattle area) that sells ready-to-feed live brine shrimp. Setting up a mini-hatchery in my tiny ass apartment seems like a hassle (let me know of any possible mis-conceptions I may have about this!), although if no better options present themselves, I’ll make it work.

Can anyone share their experience feeding live Brine Shrimp? How often/how much should I feed? How do I make sure the ADF gets his fair share of live Brine Shrimp?

Regards!
I’m sticking with a single Zebra Danio just until the tank has finished cycling.
