Hi Sam,
There is no “rule”, whether it’s 1″ per gallon or 2 gallons per fish that works… except for slim-bodied fish that stay under 3″ as full grown adults. For example, a 10″ Oscar certainly can’t be kept in 2 gallons of water, nor will 10 gallons of water be sufficient…. more like […]
A 10G tank should probably not have more than 4-5 guppies… maybe 3-4 males with the juvi pleco. Guppies grow to around 2.5″ It would be best if you get baby/juvi clown or bristle nosed plecos (or one of the other dwarf varieties but those two are usually cheapest) which you will still […]
When you do your weekly PWC’s, are you vacuuming your gravel good to get the detritus out of the gravel?
I saw in another of your posts that you may have a UGF. Have you been doing proper maintenance and cleaning on it? See my reply to your other post.
What are your water parameter […]

I also called a local pet store and they sell them for around that price too.
I just don’t have a set up for him at all, I […]
No I didn’t see the size they get to be, how big do they get to be?
I think I have someone near me willing to buy it from me, which is awesome… I don’t want anything that can be that mean or eat my expensive cichlids… and some are expensive…

I purchased a couple of fish for my tank last night and one of the fish ordered was a blue moorei dolphin, however that is not what arrived, it looks like a cross between a shark and a cat fish. It has small whiskers, it is blue in color, actually a nice color. It is […]
Thanks Ramil, As someone posted, we can all use the “DELETE” key when we get the SPAM postings, …. but I think most of us would prefer we not get SPAM from some misfit that has no interest in posting pond, pond fish, or pond landscape related information or questions. Don ikeepkoi

I have used it for years as an absorbant….If I work on anything in the pond I always put it in the water fall and it goes into the pond as a cloud and the fish love it. It has a lot of positive properties…..google it and check the references out. Larry […]
I have 1 bristlenose catfish and 11 Synodontis catfish (your upside down is in the same family). Usually you want to add catfish to a tank last since they are purportedly VERY sensitive to the harmful chemicals that occur during a cycle. One of my Synos is like my canary in the mine when […]
