Of these fish, which are not compatible?

Posted on September 30, 2011 by admin| 8 Comments

female betta, crab, shrimp, loach, livebearer, gourami, danio, catfish, barb, algae eater, cichlid (both African & South American,) newt, salamander, freshwater spiny eel, discus, knifefish, koi, fancy goldfish, and angelfish.

If I can incorporate invertebrates, I’d love to. I’m most interested in developping either an angelfish environment or a cichlid environment, and I want to add more fish if I can. Tell me all you can about fish, please.

Thank you!! :)
Wow. Did I ask for the condescending tone? Who said anything about putting all of these in the same tank, genius? Learn how to properly answer a question. I asked for you to point out which species are incompatible so as to help me sort through my options. Grow up!

Bamboo Plant in Aquarium?

Posted on October 25, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I have a 20 gallon aquarium freshwater tank with 4 tetras, 1 dwarf gourami, 1 pea puffer, 1 loach, and a dwarf frog. I have fake plants and 2 branches as decor. I want live bamboo (dracaena) in my tank, just because it looks different. I’ve seen Petco fully submerge bamboo inside their tanks with shrimp. I’ve done research but found out that bamboo will rot if fully submerged. How does Petco do it?

Has anyone tried it?

I found this link and this person seems to have successfully planted bamboo into his tank. Do you think I have to cut the roots and leaves off before putting varnish dip? Can I buy varnish dip at Home Depot?

I think i have nematodes?

Posted on October 4, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I have a 20 gallon freshwater aquarium with 4 guppies (all males), 4 platies(all males), 4 albino cories, 1 gourami, a bunch of little snails, and 4 crystal red shrimp. Twice, i saw this little white squiggly thin hair-like worm thingy swimming around in my aquarium. It was about 2 cm long… I think it might be a nematode? Are there any other possibilites? Is it (watever it is) harmful? My tank is cycled, it has a heater, 2 filters, driftwood, cabombas, java mass, java fern, crypt and pygmy chain sword.
It’s more like 3 cm…that’s even longer than my shrimp, or just as long. It has no shape, just long and thin…
Ignore that last thing i said, I think they are 2 cm… or not? and I just found another one. It”s kinda cute actually. It looks like it’s trying to get out of the water and the other fish are ignoring it.
