I have a 75 gallon freshwater fish tank.
I plan on keeping
5-6 zebra danios
2-3 German blue rams
2-3 ghost shrimp
1 clown loach
1 (mid sized catfish) not sure which one yet
Do these fish work well together?

Feeding live Brine Shrimp?
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.

fish tank question?
i have a 10 gal. rectangular freshwater aquarium
heres what i have in it
1 mollie
1 platy
2 black scurted tetras
1 algae eater
and 1 shrimp
now my tank seems to have a lot of room in it, most of the time when i walk in my room, i only see one or two fish…..everyone seems healthy
my question is, is it ok if i add a couple more buddies in there? maybe tetras or platys or mollies, or maybe a gourami?
when i get my algae eater at petsmart, it said on the tank “algae eater” hes about 2-3 inches long and the guy said he isnt getting any bigger

weird roe looking things on fish tank hood?
Hello,
I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank with 6 tetras 2 snails and 3 shrimp. I opened the hood of the tank yesterday and there are 2 ….things on the under part of the hood about the size of marbles… it looks like roe so im thinking its the shrimp (mainly cause its outside the water) does anyone have any thoughts about what it could be? its definitly organic…
Thanks in advance!
Freshwater fishbowl setup?
At work I am not allowed to have a fish tank, however they do allow Betta’s in a small bowl (often with the lilly). I’m not a huge fan of Bettas and from what I’ve read it’s really not a good situation. I’m working on convincing them to let me set up a vase-like container without a “filter”. Here’s what I was thinking:
Vase-like thing (hopefully around 2 gallons)
Sand substrate
I don’t know the name of the aquatic plant I’m planning on using but It’s a common one thats tall with tons of little green leafs. Also I’m going to use probably 2 java moss balls (I think thats what they are called). The thought being the plants will oxiginate the air somewhat.
Then I was planning on putting in 2ish bioballs then point a small fan on the top to agitate the surface and hopefully create some biological filtration.
Finally I was hoping this kind of system would support 2 dwarf african frogs and say a ghost shrimp to hopefully keep the tank tidy.
Any suggestions, Will it work?
I know or at least it seems to me yes it’s better than just throwing something in a bowl but is it going to be sufficient for them to live well?
Also, I just realized I forgot, do I need to sneak a heater in there or will they be ok without it?
