^redline shark sounds sick

current fish:

i dunno the name of it, but his name is Chuck

tank:

bowl with some marbles and a rock

.....i guess you could say he's livin the life

 

[Aspec]

They are very neat, but Im not sure why they're called sharks.

One is about 4 inches, the other is about 3 1/2 inches. They should grow to 6+ inches.

 

[JerseyStrong]

^lmao i was expecting like a foot long shark maybe, thats got a redline on it, but ether way thats pretty sick looking

my friend has a fish in his tank thats completely clear, its insane you see its spine and everything

 

[Aspec]

They're ridiculously fast, pretty neat when they get going.

dammmmn...i'm jealous now

so 2 questions:

How hard are marine tanks to setup/maintain?

What recommendations (fish-wise) do yall have if i'm getting a 10 gallon tank over the summer. I know its not much, but its what i can afford. and 20 gallons is the schools limit that they allow. I'd like some bright fish that are easy to get along with each other.

 

[LowNotSlow]

I'm a big fan of Gourami's.

They're hard to sex but if you get a male and female pair they can be fun to watch as they interact with eachother flirting and s**t. They're wicked easy to take care of too.

 

[SweetNuts]

otherwise there are a lot of different bright tetras, guppies, or mollies. guppies and mollie breed quite often too so babies come rapidly! easy to maintain as well.

 

[Shiznit]

ive had way way way too many fish to remember them all... i cant even list the fish i have now... but i have a 65 gallon marine aquarium. i used to have over $1000 in coral, but i since sold them all because they required too much money to maintain

 

[AutoFanatik]

I really wish i could afford a 20+ gal tank...what do yall think is the most number of fish that would live well together in a 10 gal?

 

[SweetNuts]

They say a good rule is "An inch of fish per gallon"

Example 10 one inch fish, 5 two inch fish

In a 10 gallon tank i wouldnt get too many though i would probably stick with 5 or 6 small to medium size fish. when you go to buy the fish ask the employee what they think, they are usually pretty knowledgable.

 

[AutoFanatik]

thanks Nuts...know where i can get a 10 gallon tank for a cheap price? i've seen 1 for 50
