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)

I’m switching to saltwater?

Posted on May 2, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

I’ve been keeping freshwater fish for about 4 years now, and I’m finally going to try to keep a saltwater tank. I’m going to be buying a 90 gallon tank and am thinking about getting one yellow head moray eel to go in it. I’ve read that these are very hardy fish. Do you think a 90 gallon is big enough? I don’t plan on putting any other fish in it besides the eel, although someone told me that cleaner shrimp make great tankmates for morays.

Any advice or suggestions would be great.

I have no problems with brine shrimp as they are lower risk and generally don’t carry any disease but what is the best way to clean daphnia and bloodworms before feeding or any other details?

Is light a good enough source of heat for a fish tank?

Posted on April 13, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

If I have a 10 gallon fish tank that I want to put some freshwater fish/frogs/shrimp in, will i have to purchase a heater?
Or can I use a light as the source of heat?
What is the cheapest heating source? I’ve seen something called a heating pad?
Does anybody have any advice for me?

Also, in a 10 gallon tank, will my goldfish be fine without a heater? Since they dont have one in their current tank? (I’m just thinking about when they outgrow it)
10 gallons too small for a goldfish? they are only 1.5 inches long…?
and the petco lady set me up with a 3 gallon tank and 2 fancy tailed goldfish…haha but from what ive read they’ll outgrow that!
