What tropical fish should I buy

What tropical fish should I buy2007-11-24 23:42:34

Ive got tetras but had 10 and 7 died from tetra disease, the others survived with treatment. Have treated the water and its been 2 weeks (also changed 1/3 water). Was goung to buy tiger barbs but they too aggressive, want a plecco but heard it needs lots of vegetation. What hardy fish can i buy to get my tank going?

Answers:

Zebra danios are hardy good looking fish that a lot of people use to cycle a tank.

A small pleco (bushynose variety) will only get to about 5" and does not need vegetation. It does however like boiled zuchinni, french cut green beans and algae wafers.

Thin slice a zuchinni and boil it for 3-5 minutes. Put the slices on a cookie sheet and freeze them. Put the frozen slices in a zip-lock baggie and store it in the freezer to have pleco snacks anytime you need to feed. I have about 30 plecos of different species and feed all but one of them zuchinni. The other is carnivorous and likes snails and worms.

You should be changing 25-30% of the water every week to keep ammonia, nitrates and nitrites from getting to the toxic level. Vaccuum your gravel once a month and your tank will stay sparkling clean and your fish will be healthy and happy.


get some angel fish and gouramis.

change more of your water 1st though.
