<p><span class="font-size-3">So I was buying some tetras and the guy at the store accidently got one of these guys in the bag. I was planning on eventually getting some but now that i have this free one I will just get more of the same kind. The only problem is since it was accidently put in the bag i'm not sure which kind of cory it is. Can anyone identify it for me, because to me they all look about the same. I think it might be a peppered cory?…</span></p>

<p>Hello. I saw a youtube video saying that if the viewers are working on a plan for a new tank set up, and want some help along the way, to come here and ask in this forum. So, here I am! I am very excited!</p>
<p>I have done countless hours of research over the past several months and I think for the most part, I am on the right track. I just don't know where to start, rather, how to start. I'm nervous!</p>
<p>My tank dimensions are <strong>48"L X 19"W X 22"</strong></p>
<p>I have nothing…</p>

<p>I have done countless hours of research over the past several months and I think for the most part, I am on the right track. I just don't know where to start, rather, how to start. I'm nervous!</p>
<p>My tank dimensions are <strong>48"L X 19"W X 22"</strong></p>
<p>I have nothing for it, not even a hood. Got it used from some guy off of Craigslist. I watched steps to taking down a tank and putting it back up, but don't know if that is something I really need to do. It doesn't seem to have any leaks. But, the guy had no idea how long it had been standing length wise up on it's stand, or even how old it is!</p>
<p>What I'm thinking:</p>
<p>I've noticed I prefer"river" fish more often than others (although some quieter water fish have my attention too), so good water movement and crystal clear water is a must. Lots of swimming room!</p>
<p>Dark substrate, driftwood, shells (for husbands 3 dwarf cichlids) and sturdy plants that can survive my lack of know-how and take water movement with ease. I love tall grass-like plants, spiky plants, broad leaved plants, moss, and different colored plants. Most of all I am crazy for floating plants or super tall grass like plants that flow at the water surface with the current.</p>
<p><strong>Must haves for my tank</strong>:<strong> </strong>Glass Catfish and Synodontis Multipunctatus (oh and hubbies kribensis male and pair of cockatoos) </p>
<p>I am looking for other species to compliment the above and add a pop of color. I was trying to find a black fish (not a molly, goldfish or skirt tetra) Also looking for something white as well (again, not a molly, goldfish or skirt tetra) as a good schooling fish that would add a lot of action and color being around 5" or so in length. Schooling fish with bright colors, stream-line bodies and extremely peaceful would really compliment my glass catfish. I love the Roseline Shark, but am not sure about them due to the strain on the species due to high demand.</p>
<p>I just can't decide! Help! I'm after a tank with vibrant color, along with soft hues and a nice flow. I really enjoy good schoolers. I am not a fan of gouramis and neons because they are everywhere! So are the cichlids, but my husband is a fan, so the 3 dwarfs are a must for the tank. I prefer oder in the tank rather than chaotic movement and don't like fin nippers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What do you guys suggest for fish, plants and equipment (filtration, lighting ect) to make this tank dream come true? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Hey guys i have a question, i found a 29 gallon tank on craigslist and it came with a stand and every thing and was only 25 dollers and had no leaks and was wondering if i could get away with having some discus fish in the tank i have always wanted some. I know that discus like to be in larger tanks in schools of six or more with lots of plants and cover, so dont yell at me, I was just wondering if i could get away with having discus in a 29 gallon tank,maybe three or four discus in the tank…</p>

<p>Bought a pictus catfish today, seemed pretty timid in the shop along with his buddies. Brought him home and he went crazy. There are plenty of caves, live plants and places to hide, but hes up and down the walls, left right like a torpedo. I have never seen this behaviour in my tank before from any of the fish. Accept from the pleco which is very paranoid and hides in his cave after the smallest footstep.</p>

<p>I read some forums which suggest this is normal for the pictus catfish…</p>

Is there anything i can do to calm him? xD</p> Otto Catfish breeding info needed.tag:fishtanktv.com,2011-10-24:6423219:Topic:886202011-10-24T16:09:15.007ZMichaelhttp://fishtanktv.com/profile/Michael
<p>Okey so over the the past few weeks one of my otto catfish has been very very fat, I tried vasting for 3 days and the otto ws stiff very big so im wondering if it could be egg bound. What I want to know is how long would an otto catfish become egg bound before laying the eggs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in advance, Michael.</p>
