How many discus can I put in a 55 gallon tank? Which fish get along with discus?

I have a 55 gallon fish tank and want to know how many discus i can put in it and what fish get along with it.
I also want to know how to set up the tank.

First Of All Lilro Is talking RUBBISH!
Discus require 10 gallons per adult and please please please! do not buy Discus if you have only kept fish for a year or 2!

If you want your Discus to grow to the maximum size, Please do not plant your tank. Have a BB(Bare Bottom) tank

What kind of cichlids would be good to keep with a breeding pair of convict cichlids in a 45g tank?

It seems like the only cichlids that wont outgrow a 45g tank are convicts, blood parrots, and firemouths. I’ve never really liked dwarf cichlids as they dont really get all that big. Any suggestions on a tank setup? I also have a 30g tank that I’m looking to populate with 1-2 cichlids of some sort.

I wouldn’t put another cichlid in there. They will probably be killed by the convicts. Especially dwarves. Try a larger schooling fish, like buenos aires tetras, tiger barbs, or giant danios.

How Many Guppies Can I keep in a 5 gallon Tank?

I have a 5 gallon breeder tank with a BIO wheel filter. It is the BIO wheel 100B Power Filter. I plan on heavily plantiong the tank with some natural rock caves. I also have a heater and a flouresent light. The tank has been cycled and is ready to go for my new guppies. How many can I put in?
What else do I need to keep my guppies healthy and happy? What other info can you give me on Guppy keeping?
Thanks in Advance!

5-7 male guppies, keeping up with your 25% water changes you can get away with this stock.

Having males and females, your bound to get fry, broods of 60+ fry.

What site do you recommend for aquarium supplies?

I am a new marine aquarist and I’m trying to find a good website that sells various salt water tank supplies, such as tanks, filters, skimmers, etc. I am also looking for a trusted supplier of tank furniture that can support 150+ gallon aquariums.
I’m in the U.S.

Bigalsonline.com has an excellent selection and great prices. Drsfosterandsmith.com also has an excellent selection and good prices. Petsmart.com is good too. With Petsmart.com, you can print out their on-line prices and bring it to their stores and they will honor the on-line price.

What kind of shark goes good with guppies?

none

What equipment is needed for a saltwater aquarium?

I have a freshwater aquarium right now and would like to switch it eventually to a small saltwater aquarium. My tank is 10 gallons so I was planning on only getting one clown fish with a starfish or shrimp. I have a heater, an out of the tank filter, and thermometer. Is a protein skimmer and an air pump also necessary? Also my tank light is quite old and doesn’t have the wattage on it, so should i assume that I would need to upgrade the cover on my aquarium?

a 10 gallon saltwater are for experts, beginners shouldnt start with smaller tanks because the smaller you go the harder it will be, as a 10 gallon will have water parameters that litteray will chan ge daily.

You wont need a protein skimmer on a 10 gallon but they have nano ones that are better than nothing.

Even though a single clownfish in a 10 gallon isnt much, the water parameters will kill most beginner saltwater keepers.

What is the best aquarium for fancy guppies?

Like what absolutaly needs to be in the aquarium, and is it ook if i get guppies from Walmart, will they still be hardy, when I get them should I float the bag in the aquarium,what do you think is the best feature about fancy guppies? Tell me every thing you know, and do you need aquarium salt for them?

before you do or buy anything, do some reading.
this is an excellent book for beginners (availible at Barnes & Noble and PetSmart):

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=30841388&listingid=12629407&dcaid=17902

here are a few starter tips-

tank:
guppies need a minimum of ten gallons, but you can squeeze them into a sightly smaller tank if you have a good filter and you are religious about your water changes (50% weekly is best, and more often than that for tanks under 10 gal. never change 100% or your biofilter will crash). the ‘one in inch to a gallon’ rule applies to guppies like all other small tropical fish.

filter:
you will need a filter that will filter at least 10x your aquarium content an hour. that’s 100gph (gallons per hour) for a ten gallon tank. more filtration is always better. along as the filter doesn’t create a overly strong current, you can’t over-filter your tank.

stocking:
it’s a good idea to get only male guppies or your tank will become overrun very quickly. also start with just a few fish (two or three) to cycle the aquarium. even after your cycling is finished stock them slowly so the bacteria can catch up.

cycling:
cycling is a essential, but often overlooked part of having a new aquarium. cycling is building a ‘biofilter’ or a colony of good bacteria that will remove ammonia from your tank.
read about cycling here:

http://freshaquarium.about.com/cs/biologicalcycle/a/nitrogencycle.htm

source:
you probably shouldn’t get them at Walmart, Walmart doesn’t provide very good care for their fish so they are likely to die as soon as you get them home. i recommend PetSmart as all their fish are breed a a privet parasite free facility. they also have a fourteen day guarantee so if they do die you can get your money back or new ones for free.

floating:
yes, float the bag. that’s the easiest way to acclimate them to the temperature of the aquarium. there are other methods like the ‘drip’ method that will also acclimate them to other water conditions. but that is more trouble than it’s worth and only needed for very delicate fish (which guppies are not).

yay guppies:
the best feature of fancy guppies is they have a big impact with their bright colors and long fins for such hardy little fish. but remember ‘hardy’ does not mean ‘indestructible’. and in bad conditions, even if the survive they will lose all that beautiful color.

heat:
guppies need heating(if you are getting a kit it will likely come with a heater). Marineland has probably the best, most reliable heater for a reasonable price: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754055
for a 10 gal the 50 watt Marineland heater is best, for a ‘nano’ tank (anything under 10gal) you may want to try a ‘mini’ heater, but most good heaters will shut off if the aquarium heats too fast. avoid PetSmart’s ‘top fin’ heaters, they break easy and can cook your fish. (most other top fin products are fine as they are made by many different companies for PetSmart.)

salt:
guppies live in freshwater not saltwater, but small amounts of freshwater aquarium salt can be beneficial. it’s also best to keep a little aquarium salt on hand for treating sick fish with salt dips.

please contact me if you need any further information. :)

What make of aquariums / equipment are good and what makes should I avoid?

I’m a total novice when it comes to aquariums and I’m looking at starting from scratch with a budget of about £350. What makes of aquarium are considered to be good (and also the equipment)? I don’t want to buy any old crap and I don’t want to be ripped off.

Larger aquariums will obviously cost more to set up and run in the long term, the cost will also depend on the brand. For about £350 you could get yourself a 2-3ft glass tank with all of the necessary equipment such as a filter, heating and lighting and still have some money left over for extras.

The Juwel and Fluval range are highly regarded in the UK for value for money and the quality of the equipment supplied.

I’ll break everything down into a list for you, this is just an example.

Juwel Rio 125 aquarium and cabinet £214 from http://www.seapets.com
Two buckets £15
Gravel siphon £6-8
Food £5
Dechlorinator £4
Test kit (pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate) £20
Spare heater £15
Net £2
Algae scrapers £4
Small bottle of ammonia (to start the cycling process) £3

Total: £287

That leaves you with £63 to decorate the aquarium to your own tastes and stock it with fish. This may seem a bit tight however you won’t be stocking the aquarium with fish immediately after setting up the tank and you have to take things slowly when building up the fish numbers.

Remember that the key to success in fishkeeping is research. There are plenty of good fishkeeping forums around the net. Take a look at the following links:
