stocking

Hello. I have been struggling for the last few weeks on what to do as far as stocking with my 75 gallon tank. I just got it a few weeks ago and its empty right now but will be up and running in 2 weeks when I move. It will be filtered by a Fluval 406 and a Marineland 350b (currently on a well...

Hey all. Just signed up for the forum and this will be my first post. I couldnt find where to post stocking advice so I hope this is ok. I have a 75 gal tank I just picked up and plan on stocking a group of 4 firemouths (1 male to 3 female) and 5 denison barbs. Im looking for other fish that...

Reason I ask if because I use to think it was way overstocked but looking at the tank it seems fine. 75 gal tank 48x18 Fx4 and sponge filter Stock: 1 9" syno notatus 1 4-5" syno hybrid (not sure name) 1 3-4" dwarf giraffe catfish 1 4" zig zag eel 1 5-6" senegal bichir 1 8-9" delhezi bichir...

Is it possible to house a jag, two oscars and two green terrors in a nearly 8ft 600L tank with 1000L of filtration and using dividers at first to lower aggression? I've heard you can have an oscar in a 75g and then for every other oscar you only need an extra 30g with good filtration and...

Hello everyone. I am in the process of building my first fish room. It is nothing special but im extremely happy with the set up. I'll post a photo as it sits now. The basics however are 2"x4"x10' board and cinder blocks. Simple HOB filters I already have for filtration and mounted shop lights...

Been throwing around ideas for my 55 iv had running for a while and I kinda want just 1 big social fish, flowerhorn kinda stand out to me but I really don't know much about them, iv seen some sites say 55 Is plenty and other say not enough, also how messy are they? My canister crashed on my 55...

So iv decided I want to do a aquascape on my 55 completely changing it, I really like the simple look of a carpet and dragon stone. My question is what plant is best for this? I need something that is basically beginner friendly since this will be my first live plants in a tank. Also I can't...

Came home and noticed my african butterflyfish was nowhere to be found until I looked down and say him all dried up :( definitely a crappy loss cuz iv had him a while and he ate flake food, so would u guys recommend any other replacement? Any other fish that stay towards the top, can't be to big...

Was looking into firemouths and really like them so would 1-2 go well with a 5 inch sengal bichir 3-4 inch zig zag eel 4 red ruby barbs African butterflyfish Couple small synodontis 1 big 8 inch synodontis notatus

Hi guys, I have the opportunity to pick up a 135 gallon tank (72x18x24) for a cheap price. I would like a fish/eel that is more on the aggressive side. I usually keep reptiles but would like to branch out, what would be the best option to put in here. I appreciate the help!

I'm looking for a fish with attitude and I'm thinking of setting up a green terror tank but I am still looking around. I was wondering if anyone has a different fish that is more prone to be aggressive but can still stay happy in a 75g or a 55 breeder.

I owned a 10 gallon a while ago and got the gist of maintaining aquariums, but never moved onto some of the more moderate-advanced fish. I stalked it with a Pepper Cat, 2 Rainbow Shark, and a few Black Mollies and Sword-tails only to have the Rainbow Sharks bully the Mollies and Sword-tails to...

So my question is if have 1 125 gallon W/ common wolf fish 6 inch Endelzi bichir 6 inch Cuban cichlid 10 inch Jaguar cichlid 8 inch The Cuban and jaguar are a mateing pair I also have a 150 gallon W/red wolf 6 inch Fire eel Black diamond cichlid 4 inch...

Iv had a few people tell me you can't keep more than 1 eel together, I'm planning g on getting a zig zag and a peacock for my 75 so will I run into problems? I have 2 large pieces of driftwood for plenty of hiding places and a sandy substrate.

Got my 75 setup and will be getting a senegal bichir, a peacock eel and a zig zag eel soon. I want a larger schooling fish so I was thinking clown loaches but they will eventually outgrow the tank, bala sharks also came to mind but I'm not sure how fast they would outgrow the tank, then I came...

Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving! Just joined the forum to ask a few questions about ordering fish online, something I have never done before. some info. The tank in question is a 55g mbuna tank I aquired, that needs some work in the stocking department. once I remove the few incompatible fish...

I have recently decided to re-stock my 100 gallon display tank. I currently have a mix of ce/sa cichlids with some bottom feeders and silver dollars. I've been considering a mbuna tank with possibly one frontosa and a few cats all of the same species, or possibly just a single species tank, like...

Any suggestions for stocking a 90 gallon freshwater ? I'm open for ideas. Also, feel free to post some pictures of your aquascape job/decor setup.

I'm setting up a 55 gal community tank and was wondering if an electric blue ram would be okay in it? I'll be running the tank at around 79 degrees with gravel substrate and 1 60 gal sponge filter and a 90 gal canister. I plan on getting a gourami, porthole catfish, a few rose line sharks...
