my cousin gave me one it needs sealing though, when it's ready for fish(freshwater only) whats the best way to set this up , cycle it etc. can i use water and stuff outta my already established aquarium. here is what i have in a 20 gallon long I wish to move some of them to the 55 gallon i have a betta thats very aggressive so for some odd reason the tiger barbs he's in with don't bother him he tends be kinda too mean to them actually., 2 silver dollars tiger barbs 6 of those a ruby shark, chinese algae eater, 3 corydoras, one 3 spotted gourami and various ghost shrimp. would 55 be to big for a betta or no with the depth of the water. etc? once those go in the 55 will that be overstocked as the 20 probably already is. also there was a lizard in this 55 gallon so whats the best way to clean that safely for fish. which is why i reseal tanks after lizards used them cause of germs and stuff.pumps, heaters etc what will i need as this one will be the largest tank to date for fish i have ever had. i am going to get a pennplax metal stand for it too. let me know whats good if i can get more fish in it too let me know that i plant to put alotta the rocks outta the 20 in the 55 to start cycling it. .

I just sadly lost our goldfish (koi?) and soon thereafter our algae eater was also lost. we had these for several years. like at least 5 maybe more. it's a freshwater tank and i don't have alot of time for maintenance. I'm not sure why these last fish died after so many years, should I replace them with the same (goldfish & algae eater) or could you recommend something else. Our climate is warm, so the tank temperature is not a major issue. It's a 30 gallon tank.

Well I only have a ten gallon freshwater aquarium. In it I have a Male Betta and Three Black Molly's. My tank has a lid but has a few small holes in it. The water temperature stays between 70 -78 degrees. The lowest it has ever been was 69 and the highest was 80. I have gravel but I am most likely switching to sand. In the tank I have a log at the bottom and it has a plant with big leaves by it,This plant takes up a LOT of the room,I also have another plant that has very soft,small,leaves on it and I have a swim toy. (That's all that could fit without overcrowding the tank.) My Betta and Molly's get along fine. They just ignore one another,Neither have ever nipped the other one,My Betta likes to sit on the leaves of the plants or just swim around at the bottom of the tank. The Molly's stay in the middle or at the top of the tank. However one of the Molly's seems to like to swim with the betta,It's strange but they don't fight or nip at each other. I need an Algae Eater however and if I get like a pleco I might be overcrowding this small fish tank. And I don't want to over crowd them or get another fish that will terrorize them. So I was considering getting a snail. They are only three dollars at the Pet shop,But I was wondering if the snail will crawl out of the hole in the tank lid? The two holes are big enough for a snail to get through. So thats my question,Thanks in advance for your help.

Right now I have a 30 gallon and a 10 gallon, freshwater aquarium. My 10 gallon has 4 fancy guppies, 3 male and one female and a single chinese algae eater. My 30 gallon has a needlefish that is 4" long, 3 baby angels, a small clown loach, a bala shark and a chinese algae eater. What can I add to my 30 gallon aquarium? I love exotic and strange fish. I don't like simple, boring ones like danios, tetras (most), or gouramis. Anyone have a similar setup and have a suggestion? Where is a good place to get these fish? There is a petsmart here and a few small places but is there a place online? Is that not recommended? And one last thing, the chinese algae eaters, I just read that they turn evil when they grow older. I love my other fish and these guys are only janitors. Does anyone have experience with them? Good, bad? Thank you, in advance! Huhu, Maddie, thank you. I believe that you two are the only ones that stuck to the guidelines. I appreciate the advice. Maddie, I love black ghost knives. I wanna get one but they are $20 a fish. Darwin, thanks for your standard answer but have you heard of something called experience? I have had my needlefish and angels together for a while now. I have a larger tank lined up for future use. You didnt answer my question. None of you, except Huhu and Maddie, answered my question! I didnt need an evaluation on my current set up. I chose my fish and that's my opinion. I only want ideas for more fish. Thank you.

I am looking for a cheap aquarium kit around 15-20 gallons (or just a tank with a hood) that could be found at Petsmart, Wal-Mart, or other similar stores. I really can't spend more than a $100-$150 total on the tank and other necessities (not including fish). I am planning on setting up a freshwater community tank, starting with one these fish species: - Zebra or Pearl Danios - Harlequin Rasboras - White Cloud Mountain Minnows - Cherry Barbs To be added (maybe) after the tank is cycled/established: - small Angelfish (1) - Dwarf Gouramis or Honey Gouramis (2) - school of Lemon, Neon, or Glowlight Tetra (5) - Siamese Algae Eater (1 or 2) I forgot to mention that I am going to do a fishless cycle.. Sorry! Just a side note -- for the first set of fish, I was only planning to use 2 or 3 fish from just ONE species (Minnow, Barb, or whatever) AFTER the fishless cycle has been completed. After the tank has cycled, then I will add the 2 or 3 small fish just to start out for a month or two, and then I would add a couple of the fish from the second list.

I foolishly bought a colombian shark, not knowing that they needed salt. i put it in my freshwater tank, and now im worried that he might die, if i dont add salt. Hes about 3+ inches right now. What should i do? Would these fish suffer from adding salt:Barbs, loaches, tetras, bala shark albino rainbow shark, corydoras, angelfish, plecos(normal, and rubberlipped) chinese algae eater, gouramis, female betta, etc. If something didnt work i can move it to another tank, but i would like to know which fish would be ok. I have a 100 gallon tank. How much salt, and what kind do i need to put in. And how often?

I just got a biube aquarium, it is supposed to have a 5 stage filtration system so it is supposed to be very good. I set up the aquarium and added 2 goldfish, few guppies and an algae eater. I should mention it is a 10 gallon aquarium. All my guppies died. I checked ammonia levels and they were off the chart high. I did 50% water change and still high ammonia, so the next day I did a whole water change. Ammonia is very very low now but i am afraid it will start growing again because I have one goldfish in there. I would like to keep this goldfish but I would also like to have guppies and other fish in there. Does anyone know if keeping this goldfish will create problems with ammonia continuously ? I know goldfish are supposed to create high levels of ammonia, but i am not sure whether my ammonia was created by this single goldfish or was the ammonia created because I first set up. Again i have a 10 Gallon tank and only one medium sized goldfish, is all the ammonia created by him only?
