so i have a ten gallon aquarium that i want to put fish it. i was thinking about saltwater fish but i heard i would only be able to get like two fish in there, is that true? if there are any colorful salt water fish i can put in a ten gallon tank that i could at least get four of them in could you tell me some? but if i can't do salt water i am just going to do freshwater fish. i don't want any dull colored fish. i was bright colors! so could you tell me any bright colored fish that i could put in a ten gallon tank and again i would like at least four. also which is easier to take care of? salt water or freshwater? oh and soon i will have a twenty gallon tank. my snake is in it now but he is growing out of it so i will need to buy another. oh one more question is an algae eater salt water or freshwater cause i would like to have one of them. oh also what type of rocks and stuff should i buy? sorry i am a first time aquarium person.

I have a freshwater aquarium. It's my first one, but I've had it for about 6 months. My fish tank recently suffered from an "ICK" attack, killing more than half of my fish. The tank finally looks clear of this bacteria, but now I need new fish! I need fish that are easy to take care of, are community fish, and are durable (in case something like this happens again). Any ideas?

My tank still has 0.5 ppm ammonia despite me conducting a 30% water change this afternoon. However, my tank is NOT completely cycled and is in the process of cycling. I have added Stress-Zyme in order to boost the cycle and make it faster. However, under the "Starting the Nitrogen Cycle" section of the book "Freshwater Aquariums for Dummies", it says "About 2 weeks after you add starter fish to your aquarium, the ammonia build-up in your tank begins to peak.........You're probably wondering what to do with the ammonia, right? Well, just sit back, because your friendly neighborhood bacteria will take care of everything." Is the last sentence of that paragraph "....Your friendly neighborhood bacteria will take care of everything" true? So if it is, that means I've been conducting all these 30% water changes and adding Ammo-Lock for nothing? But if I don't do anything, won't the ammonia become dangerously high? Please answer the questions for me because I really am lost between the text of the guide and my instincts... I forgot to say that this is NOT a fishless cycle, I have blood parrot cichlids. To the first answerer: What do you mean by "let your biological filter catch up"?

I am thinking of buying a snowflake eel (Or any other good pet eel). I have never owned a saltwater aquarium, but I can handle one I'm sure. I have owned numerous types of freshwater fish though. I would love any information you can give me! Thanks! Such as: What they eat/how often Can I keep other fish too/what kinds what size aquarium How can i set up the tank before I buy the eel

I would prefer some easy to keep,small, and peaceful fish that school around the tank.preferably beautiful but look alike.I would also like at least one large fish.and maybe some medium size very colorful and active fish.And some unique fish like those spiky fish or an eel.I amd also probably going to get a crawfish. Side note: i would like at least one smart fish and i would also not like to spend too much on the tank (smallish one please) and food.Freshwater please! easy to care for to. I do not know much about raising fish and am doing research. THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually I will spend up to $100.max. Also i reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeealy want unique fish. i just read that small tanks are harder to keep clean.I guesse i might get a 20 gallon tank then. Is that nessasary??????????? are jelly fish good???? please don't be mean i am just wondering.i am just starting to study this. Ardy,I thought there were fish that were to aggersive/fast to be eat'n.I am sure glad you told me because i did NOT know! (by the way I'll probably pick you as best answer and if i don't you still did a great answer). THANKS TO ALL WHO'VE ANSWERED!!!!(and to those who are about to.) By the way (agian) I have a 5 gallon tank.will i b eable to do ANYTHING with that? (And thanks for not making fun of my lack in knowledge.My expertice lies in dog breeds);^) By the way (AGIAN), by smart fish i mean an intellegent fish.Oh,and as active as possible. I always want active fish. By the way (AGIAN!!!!) how much will i need to spend...??? is Ardy right about the amount of fish?just curiouse 'cuz everyone else said i could have more fish.(sorry Ardythe1 but you didn't leave source for your info.that one other guy said he was an aquarium disiegner.he could be lying for all i know and so could you so i am just being careful) I just read that if i got a 40 gallon filter for my 20 gallon aquarium then i could fit more fish than usual in my tank! Is that true??? (thankyou) By the way(A G I A N ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! )I realy like blue fish........just saying.....colorful as possible.....thankyou agianagianagian Do Female Bettas get along with brisstlenose fish????

Oh fine ONE last thing: THANKYOU SO much to those who've answerd my questiong and to those who are about to!

I recently purchased three crayfish from a local pet store. Each are in his (or her) own tank. One is in a 30 gallon tank with small goldfish, another is in a 55 gallon tank with larger goldfish, and the other is by himself in a 10 gallon aquarium. The one in the ten gallon aquarium is growing quickly and has molted several times already. He also has a very large left claw now. He is beautiful. I would like to add that each aquarium has not one, but two filters on them. The 30 gallon set up has two filters capable of filtering two 40 gallon aquariums individually while the 55 gallon aquarium has two filters capable of filtering two 60 gallon aquariums independently. The ten gallon aquarium has the standard 10 gallon capacity filter on it. The crayfish living within the 30 gallon aquarium stays hidden 98 percent of the time. He has molted one time so far. He is still fairly small. The crayfish living within the 55 gallon aquarium "socializes" with his fish friends but does hide occasionally especially when he molts. He has molted two times so far and has obviously grown quite a bit more than the fore mentioned crayfish. Now the crayfish living within the ten gallon aquarium has molted 4 times already and has REALLY grown quickly. His left claw is really HUGE now. He is by far the largest of the three. FIRST question - are crayfish capable of living with goldfish without being harmed by the "ammonia" within the aquarium? (Remember I do have two filters on each tank both specifically designed to filter no less than 10gallons more than the actual aquarium size itself.) SECOND question - While the three crayfish I have stay underwater, do freshwater aquarium crayfish ever need to come out of the water for any reason? Can they stay IN the water without ever coming out? THIRD question - is there a "live" food I can offer the crayfish to offer them a "variety" in their diet other than the usual fish flakes, crisps, and algae wafers? I do feed them frozen blood worms from time to time which they seem to love. LAST question - does anyone know what the quick moving little things are which are located in the middle front of their body (between their claw arms)? I have noticed these little things moving like crazy when food is available. Is it something that they use to feed themselves with, perhaps? I have used "google" to find information for my specific questions but have yet to find an answer. I have also used "ask.com" only to come up empty handed as well. At this point I feel confident about the care I am giving these creatures. As I am nowhere close to being an expert with raising crayfish I would really appreciate any help you can offer at this time. I am anxious to learn more about them, especially your information which may answer my questions above. Thanks everyone! Thanks Phill Pill and Wrasse123. This really helps me. :) I forgot to mention that the crayfish which lives in the 10 gallon aquarium is by himself for a reason - he is aggressive with the fish in the larger aquariums.
