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?

I have a 6 gal freshwater tank, it had 8 fish in it for 7 months. One small neon died. Some were showing stress with blood spots. I thought they were nipping at each other b/c I was underfeeding them (feeding once a day, sometimes twice). Frequently added salt. I did a 20% water change and bought 3 more fish, then all of a sudden my fish started dying. Nitrates were high and I lost all but 3 fish. My dealer (Petco) said I shouldn’t feed flakes, I should feed blood worms and brine shrimp or something. Tried that and fish didn’t eat it. I did another water change to get the nitrates normal. Then I lost the last 3. This all happened within a week. I tested the water with strips after they died. Nitrates were safe but pH and ammonia was too low. Where did I go wrong? I feel like I get mixed information from Petco all the time!! Now that my tank doesn’t have any more fish what should I do? The water is still flowing. Should I do a 80% change, wait 4-6 days, add 2-3 fish & start again?
10 Gallon Freshwater Shrimp Tank and 29 Gallon Freshwater Community Tank. Both tanks planted (includes java moss, corkscrew valis, amazon swords are main plants).
This is my six week old community trpoical aquarium. I plan to add about 20 more tetras in about 5 species. look out for the Amano Shrimps, they’re great and I will be adding some Cherry Shrimps soon. Next tank will be a 30″ planted shrimp tank, will be making the lighting system myself, so please look back soon. Please rate this as its the first time I’ve made a movie, so you’ll have to put up with some bad editing. Thanks for viewing! Please feel free to comment
It seems as though my rainbow sharks keep eating my neon tetras. I have recently purchased 18 and I only have 3 remaining. I have bought guppies and ghost shrimp to try and keep them away from the tetras but it doesn’t seem to be working. Any suggestions?
