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)

can i feed my gold dojo loach brine shrimp?

Posted on April 23, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I want to get a gold dojo loach (aka weather loach) and online it says they love brine shrimp.

1) what exactly is brine shrimp? what does it mean? frozen shrimp or shrimp flakes? or something else?

2) the gold dojo loach is freshwater fish and some say you should only feed salt water fish with shrimps or brine shrimps. so can I feed the loach with brine shrimp even though its a freshwater fish?

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!

The tank is a 20 gallon long planted tank. I feed the goldfish ghost shrimp, goldfish pellets, bloodworms, and algae wafers. I feed the loaches goldfish pellets as treats, and there main diet is frozen bloodworms, I also feed them pest snails. I keep my tank around 64-70 degrees. Substrate is CaribSea white sand, 20 pounds, and nature gravel, 10 pounds.

Can I put shrimp in my freshwater unheated goldfish tank?

Posted on March 26, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

I have a 10 gallon unheated (room temp) tank with 2 snails, two fancy Goldfish and Dojo loach. It is planted and contains a lump of bog wood.
The filter is the type that hangs of the back with filter cartridge, and I have a small airstone.
I’d like to add some Shrimps and may be a clam?
My biggest fear is that the Shrimp will get eaten, or sucked into the filter.
Looking at other questions posted, I guess that ghost shrimps are glorified fish food, so perhaps something a little larger would work?
I would appreciate any advice on the best way to go!
