I would say they are one of the most colourful freshwater fish out there. Cichlids are nice, but i love the aquascaping you can do with a rainbowfish tank. Here is a picture of the tank from over a year . There is no longer the Loaches or the Australians, with new additions being boesemani, Trifasciata and the shoal of peppered corydoras.
That looks a bit overstocked. Maybe you should upgrade to a 265 gallon, but if you don't, you should get rid of the cories, then the tank would be a bit less crowded. Or the flying fox and 2 or three rainbowfish. Or 3 rainbowfish.
That's horribly overstocked, 2-3 male guppies can live in the 5 gallon, and the 2 goldfish will need around 55 gallons. Just so you know.I used to keep guppies, 2 goldfish, and a panda fish in a 5 gallon tank
It was a small but interesting setup
I never got around to breeding the goldfish and guppies though
How long?
Oops. I meant 265 litres. No offense taken. So that is an old pictures, and upgrading to the 350L is utterly amazing! But yes, your 24L is overstocked, maybe upgrade to about 15-30 gallons. (57-113 Litres)
My amazing did he used to be a fishkeeper, and he has taught me so much about many fish, platies, mollies, plecos, rainbowfish, guppies, koi, goldfish, angelfish, frogs, we have kept all of those species at one point, (at separate times). We used to have a 70gallon which held all of these species at least once in it's point. Anyways, as some people have health problems, we couldn't keep that tank anymore, but the experience was very teaching. That started about 8 years ago, so 5-10 years is my answer. I currently have 3 Honey Gourami in a 6 gallon (wasn't my smartest move, my first few fish that I have had full responsibility over, I was also having some personal problems at that time). I also have the 1.5 shrimp tank that is currently cycling, and will also set up a 10gal community tank in the future.
It's ok. Everyone has rookie mistakes, I made one too, read above.Man
I'm sorry poor goldfish
I'm new to the fish keeping game
I don't keep fish anymore because i got a dog so I don't have time to take care of any fish
I didn't even know
Regular goldfish (like the 10 cent ones) get big, so there is no difference.
If they stay small, that means their growth was stunted, that's a big no-no.
I am getting a pair (probably a female pair, or just 1 male) of Betta imbellis, a small school of Celestial Pearl Danio, even though that might change, and some Asian Stone Catfish. Also some Tiger Shrimp.
