What size tank would work for a ‘community’ tank?

Posted on December 4, 2011 by admin| 6 Comments

I don’t want a huge tank but one that can handle 10-15 different types of freshwater fish/invertebrates. I don’t have a real huge space to use either. The types of fish/invertebrates I’m considering are: shrimp,flag fish,rasbora,and platys. Those are just an example. Basically what I want is a tank with different types of beautiful,colorful fish. I want more than 10 gallons but under I guess 30. What size would work? Thanks for the help.

*^*^*^*^* THEY WOULD ONLY BE PETS AND WHAT TYPE I GET I HAVEN’T DECIDED YET. *^*^*^*^*
Maybe only up to 10 different species then.

Scissortail Rasbora?

Posted on September 10, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I just got three scissortail rasboras (don’t trust me on that spelling!). They are the first fish to go in my tank and are doing great. We are going to get three more to make a school soon. Right now I only have goldfish food and frozen peas as fish food.

Would any any of that food work?
When should I start to feed them?
How often should I feed them?

When I get them real fish food, for tropical fish, what kind would they like? (any brands, or flakes or pellets?) I know they love brine shrimp, so I am going to get some of that.

I would love to know everything about them, so please include other imformation… thanks!

The fish are the first in a community tropical freshwater tank, 55 gallon tank. It has gravel, many rocks and plants, filters and an air pump. There is no ammonia, pH is 7.0, no nitrites, nitrates are 20, alkalinity about 180…

Thanks!
