Anyone else into tropical fish?

I think neons and cardinals both like the same water-I've heard peat moss in the filter helps a lot.

Moving back home I had to downsize, too. I have a 10g with three female bettas and a otocinclus catfish, and a 1.5g and a 2.5g with a male betta in each.

I have a 40 gallon with a male and female Bosemani Rainbow, Two catfish, 3 Blood fin Tetras, and 5 minnows. I keep the ph at 7.0 and use an external cannister filter (Fluval) that works excellent!

I have a 3 gallon tank with 3 goldfish, Blackie, Spot, & Fatso.
Does my pond full of Perch, Bass, Catfish, & Crappie count?

cardinals and neons are amazons, they do best in the same parameters as angelfish
SOFT water and acidic 5.5-6.8 (neons prefer the 6+ end of the range while cardinals prefer the lower end of the range)
(dont keep them with angels though as there the angelfish's natural prey lol)
they tend to be very delicate outside of their prefect parameters but ive had better luck with cardinals than i have with neons...

they are sooo beautiful though, definatly worth a try for more experienced hobbiests willing to do the work to keep them perfect parameters.

birdaholic, you are going to need to upgrad that goldfish tank like YESTERDAY, goldfish are incredibly messy and get incredibly large.
id suggest a 29 gallon minimum for 3 goldfish (55 would be better) with extra filtration.
they may seem small now but that little 3 gallon tank will kill them pretty dang quick.

Mostly devoted to sunfishes but we play with convict cichlids, paradise gouramies and zebra danios. Back-up generator and best students in world running the monster like a dairy farm year round.

Chickens are my relaxer. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

I have a small 10 gallon tank with 2 sword tails, 1 head light tail light tetra, 2 glow light tetras, a rescued fntailed guppy, 3 swordtail fry, and 1 fantailed guppy fry.

I have plans to sell these guys and switch to a more elaborate tank with more expensive fish and a couple of loaches.

currently only run the 29 gallon with some hardy tetras. I have bred bettas for a few years. we live way WAY out in the sticks and this past winter the power was off for close to two weeks.

and this summer we had a heat wave and it was getting 105-106 in the house in the shade. well that did in the rest of my bettas. I love the little buggers to death but unless we move or can afford several generators and central air we wont be breeding ever ever again.
