Alright. Anything you would recommend that go well with them?

XD I honestly don't know how it slipped my mind that they got so big. Any other loaches yall would recommend that wouldn't get picked on? Anyone have any info on the Hillstream Loaches? Recommendations are welcomed! If I get something that doesn't work out, I have another tank I can move them to and...

Yeah, I have heard they are pretty peaceful, but I have also heard they are nippy and wasn't sure if they would nip at the loach. I'll just stick to things with shorter fins, and will take the loach back if they get picked on. thanks!

If I won't have room for barbs or anything, or if you think they will get picked on to much, I'll just leave them out. Im willing to trim their teeth, and have already watched several videos on it and researched it. Do yall think they would pick on a clown loach? From what I have read, I'll probably...

So I am in the prices of cycling my 55 gallon tank, and I plan on doing SAPs. I was wondering, Howe many can I have? I already have a ton of plants and plan on putting in a lot of holy rock. What other fish can go with them? Any recommendations? I was thinking about doing tiger barbs because they ar...

I am only using fake plants, so that isn't a problem. I wanted to avoid setting up another tank unless I absolutely have too, although I did plan on feeding then a lot of different things. if I really need to I can probably figure something out. How often do figure eights need snails? It doesn't rea...

So I just set up a fifty five gallon tank, and while it cycles I have to find out what pufferI plan on doing. It is a 55, and has two large filters on it that are made to filter sixty gallons each. I'm looking at figure eights or south Americans. Doing light brackish is no problem if I do the F8s. I...

Will do! Thanks for the help! So glad I found this forum!

Of course! I plan on cycling it for quite a while before any puffers are added. How long would yall suggest? Should I put in some snails in t
he meantime for the puffers later on?

Awesome! I will definatly look em up! Unfortunatly, Ill have to order them online, since the only fish store around here carries GSP. Any suggestions for a good site to order fish from would be greatly appreciated! Would hate to end up getting a bunch of dead puffers from a lousy site

Have had Dwarfs in the past, and I cant really say Im a fan. They are adorable though :) How big do F8's get? Can anything go with them, or are they best just in a group? My LFS only has spotted, and they know nothing. I asked about how many GSP's could go into a 30 gallon, and I was told between 4-...

Thank you! I think I may go with SAP, If I can find somewhere to buy them. Anyone know any good places I can order them online from? Also, Could I have 3 of them and maybe a few other, peaceful fish?

Thanks! I will be sure to try it! ^.^

Thank you! I have read so many different things on how much space they needed. A man at my local fish store ever said I could have 4-8! Its sad how little the people at these fish stores know sometimes. I knew that couldnt be right, So here I am! I am also looking into South American Puffers. How ma...

Today, I purchased a 55 Gallon Acrylic tank, complete with stand, filter and lights for eighty dollars. The tank is pretty roughed up, but I knew it was possible to clean up an acrylic tank. Even if I cant, i figured the stand and extras was worth the eighty bucks. Now, my question is, how should I ...
