I'm waiting to get a list of them all but there are bristlenose and Africans I think, it's a breeding set up so I think there is a couple of fish to each tank and a couple are grow out tanks which have fry in

My black and white guppy died this morning.
He was getting pretty sluggish, so I was honestly expecting it.
Now my ten gallon only has 4 cories. Next time I go to a bigger city, I'll pick up another fish to take up the mid and upper levels of the tank. I don't trust my local pet store anymore.

i found out what was happening to my plants. they are growing flowers. on a completely unrelated topic. how do i get rid of greenish cloudy water in a tropical tank?

I think I'd like to replace the plastic plants in my ten gallon with silk and get a betta to replace my guppy who died.
I'm just a little worried about how he'd be with my cories. I wouldn't have another place to put him, as I don't have room for another tank and my mom doesn't want another one either.

Does anyone here successfully keep cories with their male betta? Any tips you'd have to keep them together? I already have my cories in there, so its not like they'd be intruding on HIS territory.
I'll be looking online, but I'd like some information from you guys too. ^^

I guess you missed my reply to your post, telling about the flowers. I posted a pic, too, if you'd like to look back and see what mine ended up looking like. ^^

I see it now. So they get seeds... unlike tulips? i thought they were bulb plants... it looks exactly like that now. the first one to start with flowers now has three and the other two apogentons are growing one each.

How do i solve the issue of cloudly water? i rinsed my new filter and everything, and it has a greenish tint although i think that is because of the plants.

So, as a Christmas present, my sister is going to take me to the pet store tonight so I can get some fish and gravel for a 10 dollar(I found it in another store for 50 o-o) 5 gallon hex I got. It's acrylic, but comes with a very nice bio-wheel filter and a built-in light. I've already filled it with water and squeezed the contents of a fully cultured tank's sponge filter. So the question is, what all do you think I should get? I've already got my mind set on a dwarf khuli loach, and then a small shoal of tetras or danios. Do you think neons/cardinals/black neons(any of those) would work inside the tank? I'm also thinking of getting a rubber-lip, or maybe a BN of sorts.

(This store isn't any super store or anything, but mainly men work the aquatics section, and some reaaally weird fish come in. Axolotls, red tail catfish, Mekong Giant Catfish, piranhas, freshwater gobies, freshwater flounder, Chinese sailfins, giant African Dwarf Frogs(mainly dyed ones ._.), and if I recall correctly they once had GloPlecos.)

Those giant African dwarf frogs were probably African clawed frogs.

If you want ADFs do NOT buy ACFs. They are a very different animal. They eat tons more, they need cold water, much more space, and they will eat anything they can fit into their mouths. To tell the difference, look at the skin and claws. ACFs have smooth skin and non webbed front "hands", while ADFs have bumpy skin and webbed front hands. But, if you would like to get ACFs, they are lovely animals. I have two in a 15 and they are super cool. Just make sure not to get their water into tanks with other amphibians to avoid getting the other animals sick. ACFs commonly carry a fungus called chytrid that is extremely dangerous to most amphibians. ACFs are, however, immune to it, so they often times carry it with no symptoms. And, about the dying, please do not but dyed animals, since it encourages it. Dying for frogs isn't that bad, since it's in the food they are fed when they are young, but dying of fish is incredibly inhumane, given that it is remarkably similar to human tattooing, with needles and ink, and the like. And, if you see albino ADFs, be very wary, since they are very hard to come by. Chances are, they are young ACFs if they are albino. If any of you guys need anymore help on telling the difference, feel free to ask or pm me.
