I have tons of goldfish but I thought I’d try my hand at tropicals too. This is my 30gal tropical tank. I figured I’d start with some easy keepers since I don’t know as much about trops as I do goldfish. Drop a comment I don’t mind. The tattooed mollies were rescued from a person who wanted to flush them alive down a toilet. I do not buy tattooed fish nor do I condone the practice. It is cruel and entirely unnecessary!

It’s just cheap white gravel. pest snails keep it clean along with regular water changes.
k tanks for the tip.
I concur. And if they are available, they should at least take them back from people who can no longer take care of them.
I find this funny, as goldfish grow rather large.
unlless you are one of the few people who take correct care of their goldfish, you’re contradicting yourself.
I don’t feel goldfish should be available to just any one. They are much harder and more expensive to care for properly than most people are willing to do. I also don’t agree with the idea of stores taking fish back. They shouldn’t sell them in the first place if the buyer isn’t prepared to care for an adult animal. it’s like buying a puppy knowing you can’t keep it as an adult so you dump it in the pound when it gets too big.
mollies and platys are easy… try angels they would look AWESOME in that tank.
I’ve got a 55gal planted amazon biotope with angels and all that jazz.. This was just a starter tropical.
hi i um have a 29 gallon tank and started cycling it like 2 days ago and the water is still kinda foggy. my filter is a whisper power filter 30 by tetra. is that good for my tank or do i need a different one? and wats the problem with my tank still being foggy? plz help me!!!! ty
A tank usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks to establish an initial cycle and 6 months to a year to establish what’s known known as a mature cycle. Filtration needs depend on what kind of fish you’re keeping and how many you have (or can potentially have as some are easy breeders). The Safest and easiest way to cycle your tank would be to do a fishless cycle. I’ll think I’ll send u a message there’s just not enough room to really answer ur questions here lol
snails multiply like crazy i had one in my tank and quickly moved it to my brothers. and the minute i did it laid like a bunch of eggs. lol
my tank always does this after a water change usually clears up overnight , i read somewhere that you just need to have fish in there
using clear ammonia with no soaping agents is safer. You don’t have to expose fish to the unsafe swinging chemical parameters in an uncycled tank. Plus without fish in there during the cycling process you don’t have to do daily water changes.
have your mollies had fry. Mine make babies like crazy
Yes mine reproduce but I don’t make any special accommodations for the babies so the parents and the bumble bee catfish eat them all. It may sound harsh but it keeps my tanks from getting over crowded and I don’t have a bunch of inbreeding going on.
It didnt sound harsh thats what I used to do with my mollie fry but now i keep them and give them to freinds with tanks.
you should try sailfin mollies and baloon mollies
No one has brought me any of those lately. I don’t buy fish I just take in stuff that people don’t want these days.
so relaxing
I put a deposit down the other day on a fish tank – I can’t wait to collect it on saturday – I bought a book about aquatic plants for 49p
I can’t wait to set up a tank with plants first and rocks and a log
my Dad used to keep Tropical fish in latter days but when I was a toddler I accidentally pulled his fish tank over
I will take videos of setting up the tank and its progress with plants and fish
I will probably write a computer program for fishkeeping diary on a website
You should join a forum for fish keepers ^_^ alot has changed over the years in this hobby and finding a good community forum can help when problems arise, give you some good tips on things that can save you money in the hobby, and it’s nice to have ppl to talk to that love fish keeping as much as you do. I’ve made alot of friends this way ^_^
thats a butiful and well decorated tank and youre water quality looks good and ure fish look great good luck with you tropical fish p.s i also prefere coldwater i have orandas myself and commets and commens and some small koi and a sturgion in my pond
Poor Tattooed Mollies. *cries*
Gold fish are better??? waaaaaaaa?
tropical fish look cooler and saltwater fish are even cooler then them, they are just really expensive…
Don’t cry too hard for them. I took them from some one who wanted to flush them LIVE down the toilet. I hate it that people tattoo fish, it’s cruel and I won’t buy them. However, I couldn’t see these having to suffer even more.
wtf tattoed fish you asshole plus your tank blows.
if you had bothered to read any of my other comments you would have seen that I didn’t buy these fish but took them from some one who was going to flush them down the toilet. I don’t condone the tattooing of fish by any means. “Plus”, weather you like how I set up my aquarium or not doesn’t concern me even slightly.
