Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've been looking into getting some small Pseudotrophy cichlids for my 48-gallon tank. They max out at 3 inches, so I think it's doable. I've done a lot of research and I know I'll need to overfilter the tank. Would two large HOB filters work for this, or is there a better setup you'd recommend? I ...

I think you're pushing it with 10 saulosi in a 36" tank, even with your filtration setup and water change plan. Keep a close eye on those nitrate levels, if they're above 20ppm, you'll need to adjust your water change schedule. I've had good luck with Electric Yellow, Acei, and Peacock, but I've ...

For a 20 gallon, I'd mix it up. Anubias or Java Fern on the hardscape, some Crypts in the midground, and maybe a couple stem plants in the back. That'll give your Tetras plenty of hiding spots and swimming lanes. My setup's similar, and the fish are always active.

Clove oil's the euthanasia method of choice for many on this forum, I've found it works well when I've had to put fish down in the past.

I came across this link that might be helpful. It talks about what to do if your fish has stringy white poop. Apparently, there are several reasons why this happens, including internal bacterial infections. This type of infection can cause a fish to stop eating, become bloated, and breathe heavily ...

I think a syringe or two would be a great addition to your kit, willie32, for taking water samples for testing.

I agree with angelica, they look like hengeli to me. I've had both species in my tank for a while now, and I've got to say, I'm quite familiar with the hengeli - I've had them since September. One thing I've noticed is that they don't seem to spar or spawn, but my espei rasboras do. Actually, I saw ...

I recently purchased 10 rasboras, supposedly espei, but they're looking more like hengeli in my QT.

The first video clip - any experienced rasbora keepers care to take a look and offer an ID? You might catch a glimpse of 2 actual espei in there, the last survivors from a group I bought around 2 ...

I've had my fair share of struggles keeping bettas with other fish, and I'd advise you to have a backup plan - or in this case, a separate tank - ready for the betta(s) just in case things don't go as smoothly as you hope.

From my experience, keeping male and female bettas together in a single tank ...
