I have a 10 gallon with a filter, heater, plants, ect.
I plan on getting 6 cardinal Tetra, 2 Snails, and 2 Shrimp.
At first I wanted ghost shrimp but now i think I might want something more pretty. What are some more kinds of Freshwater shrimp that would do good in this tank?

i have a 30 gallon tank and right now i have peaceful and semi-aggressive fish in it and i wanted to get aggressive but now i want to get saltwater but im not sure which one ill have to do less work on and which one cost less but ive done some research on which fish are compatible and all the fish i wanted were compatible but theres to many i think i want 2 bicolor blennies 1 coral beauty angle 2 damsel yellow tail 2 blue sapphire damsels 2 ocellaris clown fish green mandarin 1 banded coral shrimp and 1 bicolor angle fish so i was wondering if i would be able to have this many fish if not tell me which ones would be easier to take care of and which ones are more to be compatible with each other and what coral i should get and live rock i should get well not really what live rock but if i need a protein skimmer or if i should just go with freshwater aggressive fish please help me i cant choose

I have a ten gallon tank that currently has some blue standard aqarium gravel. It is freshwater, but I would still like to change the substrate to black sand. So how would I go about that? It is the home to a male betta, 3 cory cats and two ghost shrimp. Would I have to catch them and toss them in a bucket with the tank water and then scrape out all the gravel and add the black sand? Would my tank have to recycle even if I used the same filter and plants/decoration?

Also would it be okay to just get black play-sand and rinse it in a pillow case and then soak it for a week?
Okay, I can get the aqarium sand, but were would I keep my fish for two weeks?
Okay are you sure I don’t have to recylce? I know a lot of people don’t know what they are talking about, but I trust you as you usally give awsome advice. I am going to check around on some various fish forums just in case(:
Ooo I like the idea of having the gravel on the bottom and covering it with sand(: But eventually I might get a khulie loach or two and I think they would be surprised when they went to burrow…

Right now I have large gravel and a bunch of cichlids. I would like to change it over to a sand floor, some live plants and some small non agressive fish. Ideas and links would be great. There is just so much info out there, I don’t know where to begin to look. I have double filtration going from the top, a heater, thermometer, 4 air stones going, and of course lights.

I am going to rehome my cichlids this weekend, and give the tanks some time to adjust to the change over from gravel to sand before I start adding in new fish. Need low maintenance ideas. As in, once a week at most. My boyfriend is partial to ghost shrimp for a clean up crew. I am not too sure about them. I know guppies are colorful, but want to stay away from guppies, and mollies. Danios I have had before and liked the coloring and activity level. Any other ideas? What do you have in your tanks?

I have a 10 gallon tank with a male betta that ive only seen flare at his own reflection.
I have 5 ghost shirmps but my betta never nips or flares at them just stares.
Whats a small freshwater fish that gets about 2 inches long and can be kept alone or in twos with a male betta? i dont want to overstock my tank with the shrimps and betta.
My tank is heated and filtered/cycled
