Interesting fish for a 10 gallon freshwater tank?

Posted on December 7, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Well, my 10 gallon is finally established, but I am a little disappointed. My tank looks amazing, but my fish (6 black neon tetras, 1 male dalmatian molly and 1 cory catfish, along with a few shrimp and snails) aren’t very entertaining. My tetras stick together in one corner, and my molly stays near the surface with minimal movement. I was thinking of moving the tetras to a 29 gallon, and I need some good replacements.
What are some cool fish that look nice and are fun to watch?
So far I am getting 3 zebra danios and 1 female dalmatian molly, what else should I put in there?
Larger species are OK, as I will relocate them to a 29 gallon once they grow.
thanks
to see my tank, youtube search “Black neon tetras 10 gallon tank” its the first one. tell me what you think
Ok I will add some plants soon and post another video of how the tetras are doing; hopefully they will start swimming around if not they are going to my 29 gallon
like I said I will move larger fish (including the molly) to a 29 gallon once the time comes so size doesn’t matter

Why are my fish dying?

Posted on October 16, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

Hello all. I have a 60 gallon freshwater tank. It has been running for almost a year so it is a mature tank. I am very experianced in keeping fish but I can’t figure something out. I religiously do my water changes 1 week to everyother week and my water tests ALWAYS are at 0. (Nitrates,nitrites,ammonia). Well in the past week or so I have lost 2 swordtails, a sunbelly, and a bamboo shrimp.I still have 5 neon tetras, 4 black neons, 2 blue rams, 1 molly, 2 angelfish, 1 spotted puffer, 2 tuxedo fish,1 swordtail, 3 bamboo shrimp, 3 mystery snails,and 3 bettas. They all seem healthy, are all eating well, and there’s no sign of disease. My tank is as clean as a tank can get so why all the sudden deaths? Or is it just a coincidence and those that passed had reached the age that death was upon them? Pls let me know bc I’m getting upset and I don’t want some of my rarer fish to pass away if there’s something I can do about it. Thx

I have a 10 gal tank and I was thinking of putting 3-4 neon tetras ,1 african dwarf frog and 1-3 vampire shrimp or yellow or purple banded shrimp if they are freshwater.And I’m going to ask if they store has bristlenose plecos and clams. I’m also looking for a betta but its fins might get ripped .So I know I’m getting 3 or more neon tetras ,1 african dwarf frog and some kind of shrimp from the store but I’m not sure if I should do that, what do you think?

Too much ammonia in fish tank?

Posted on March 20, 2011 by admin| 8 Comments

I have a 30 gallon freshwater aquarium. It has two zebra fish, a silver dollar fish, a sunburst, two neon tetras, a guppy, a frog, a scissors tail and a cory cat in it. I do a partial water change almost every 10 days. I have had it set up for about a month now. I test almost every day for ph, nitrate, and ammonia levels. The ph and nitrate levels are great. The ammonia levels are always high though. I have four ammonia bags in the tank (to help control the ammonia). I feed the fish twice a day fish flakes. There is never any left after 5 minutes of feeding. I also give them a treat once a week of freeze dried brine shrimp cube. Why do you think the ammonia is always high? I have tried ammonia lock to help control the ammonia, but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I have two filters in the tank and both hang on the back. What do you think could be causing the ammonia problem? I also add aquaium salt with every partial water change. Any suggestions?
