I'm kind of new to the forum and i thought this would be a great place to ask my fish questions!

First question- Compatibility... The fish that i would like to put in the tank are: 1 angelfish, 1 synodontis catfish, 2 dojo loaches, 1 African leaf fish, 4-5 Boesemani rainbow fish, and 1 Siamese algae eater.

Second question- plants... Are there any plants compatible with these fish that don't need special substrait? i could...

I am looking to acquire some new fish to add to my 39gal tank. I need some help choosing new fish to add to my tank.

Existing:
1 x Angelfish
2 x German Blue Rams
2 x Zebra Danios
1 x Siamese Algae eater

I am looking to add quite a few more.

I am looking to add Odessa Barbs and Mollies. Do you think if I got 5 or 6 Odessas that they would be fine with the existing fish? Where is my overstocking limit?

thanks,

But he was still moving so i thought nothing of it.

Yesterday the snail was fine, today i check and the shell seems to be very white not a yellow tint as usual.

so i grab it and the shell is empty!

I looked around but there is no snail/slug.

The second mystery snail is still alive and moving around but the shell is slowly turning black....

This is my first post, so I would like to say hello and cant wait to learn.

My story:

Last year I got on a fish kick. I really wanted an aquarium. I gave it a few months to see if I still wanted one. The kick didnt go away and for Christmas I received a 37 gallon tank.

Now I am doing research.

I am having quite the hard time finding fish stores that will provide accurate information (pictures, temperature, pH, what level of the tank they swim....) about the...

Just wondering ... is there anyone here who enjoys their fish so much that they've devoted an entire room in the house strictly for the fishies? A tanks only room?

Sounds like fun to me.

Posting pictures of my L14 got me thinking.

Now according to an article I was reading about L14 plecos, they are found in the exact same part of the Xingu river as L46 Zebra Plecos. Some theorize that Zebras actually use the deepest part of the L14's breeding nest for their own nest, let their fry grow with the L14's fry, and use the larger fish as protection for their fry rather than protecting their own.

Now what I question is this: why if L14 and L46 come...

I got some really nice clam shells from a saltwater tank, and I understand it will mess up my waters PH and possibly break down in the tank. So I was wondering if it is possible to seal it with something, and what would that be that is safe?]]> 11 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:47:35 +0000 https://aquariumspace.com/threads/dream-fish.6063/ https://aquariumspace.com/threads/dream-fish.6063/ invalid@example.com (Aquaman_95) Aquaman_95 13 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 03:30:03 +0000 https://aquariumspace.com/threads/what-is-the-most-exotic-fish-you-have-kept.6062/ https://aquariumspace.com/threads/what-is-the-most-exotic-fish-you-have-kept.6062/ invalid@example.com (HBIC) HBIC 20
