so its true than......... better things become of more than three? so the bigger the number of each species the less problems is that right?

hey caryl thanks for that note. you may be able to answer a question for me or somone else perhaps? i have 3 zebra danios.one that has a roundish tum,one thats slightly brown in color but still mainly blue and silver and the other is normal with no tail.well the problem is is that the slightly brown one chases the other two around and i think thats how the one without the tail well lost its tail from perhaps having it munched on by the browny one.is it normal to have an aggressive one out of the trio?i got them at wetpets palmy nth from the same tank at the same time.i dont know why he would chase the others.do you know why?

what fish is your avatar shae?is it that blue siamese fighting fish?

yep.the third one down-glow light tetras look just like my orange neons.are they the same cos im confused cos i thought they were different.

cool.there just pics from kodak easyshare from my digital camera and it showed them big size so yeah fingers crossed.i looked at the http://www.aquariumfish.net/catalog_pages/tetras.htm site page and they showed the different types of tetras and i saw the glow light tetras and well they look just like my orange neons.are they the same fish?

okay cool then.are you going to be able to make the images larger from the ones i sent you and you hopefully recieve?

casey05's tropical fish tank

okay thanks so a definite no on angels.thanks for that! that will save me a bit then both in the pocket and with worry.

oh cool thanks guys for clarifying that stuff for me so no angels with tetras and finer gravel for plants(i can make sense of that )and get plants like that java one which ive heard lots about through the forums.

oh okay so finer gravel with plants.the only light my fish tank gets its the sunlight in my room during the day but not direct as it sits in the middle of my dressing table with my mirror behind it and the lamps on the side from around 6.30pm to 9.30-10 at night.how do i go about posting pics cos when i find out i'll post some foryou guys to see so you can get an idea of what im on about?

i thought that welly would have better fish places than palmy?yeah i dont mean to brag but animates is great for tetras and fish ornaments and wetpets is good for its range in plants and fish cleaning stuff n othr fish besides a couple of types of tetras.do you guys recommend angel fish with tetras?

oh and can you guys clarify for me a few things? *you clean the whole fish tank once a month-true/false *you have to leave your light for the tank on all night-true/false cos well i turn my lamp i use for it off when i go to bed and am not sure if thats a good thing or not. *you have to change your carbon cartridge in your air filter thing every 1 or 2 months? yeah im just clueless but hopefully you guys can help

regards to this new fish tank, since its like 100L how many plants would you guys perhaps recommend putting in there.i was reading some other forums and how their fussing over what to use like sand,fertilizers and even CO2 things im so confused.i thought you just put them in the gravel and let them grow but nothing about cutting them or yeah im so confused

hi anthony thanks for that.im in palmerston north.

thanks for getting back so quick zoezealand and livebearer_breeder.your info was greatly appreciated.well i have a fluval tronic 150W heater and an under gravel filter plus air pump thingy.I clean the tank every saturday and use my internal filter for 30 minutes after each clean to clear the water as only 30 minutes because its a wee bit too strong for this little tank but ideal for my new one.i did originally have 6neon tetras but 5 died due to the fact that i hadnt cleaned the whole tank in a few months and well suddenly overnight the tank was filthy oh and one of my black neons puffed right up and died so yeah i felt really bad about that.i was not aware that you had to do the whole tank once a month i thought you just had to do quaterly or thirdly changes once a week so i bought 2 more to keep it company but they seem to be happier in higher numbers well so i know now.the internal filter is an elite stingray 5, 2.9W and yeah is a little to powerful for my little tank so i rarely use it but it should be good for my new tank aye?.

Hi,Im a teenager new to the whole tropical fish thing and only been at it for a few months with my 40*25*25cm tank containing 3 zebra danios,3 black neons,3 neon tetras,2 swift rasboras,2 orange neons and a plecostomus.Well my dilema is that next month im getting a 100L tank and well am going to need some more fish and plants for it.I have no idea how many fish to buy but would like a few types of tetras like the serpae,lemon and Glow lights but have no idea how many to get as i dont want to over crowd my new tank and i only want about 6-8 real plants but dont know which would be best.I also have no idea what i need to have or do for the overall care of my fish.i feed them twice daily with colour enhancing flakes and those pellet things for my plecostomus and treat my fish to a tablet of frozen bloodworms 0nce or twice a fortnight.i have no idea if i should ph test my tank or what i am totally clueless.can anyone help me with what i have to do or get? regards a very clueless, casey.
