Aquarium Fish Species

Yes that is enough. You usually want to keep a two to three female to one male ratio. The male will constantly try to breed with the females. If there was only one the female you get stressed out and die. So make sure to keep two to three females

Yes, keep in mind seahorses are one of the most timid sea creatures.

There are no problems about it. remember that you have to have at least 20 gallon tank, because your gourami and shrimp will need to have space.

yes, sometimes you can. It just depends on how mellow your betta is, and if you have enough planting in your aquarium so the platy can hide ( just in case). I would also recommend you get more than one platy, again just in case. For the most part though, they should get along pretty well, just keep in mind that no matter what you put in with a male betta, it won't like it, they like to be solitary. I hope this helped!

Clown fish and the anemone both do favors for each other. The anemone

provides shelter for the clown fish and the fish cleans it in turn i guess.

In that case i always say research and don't be lazy.

They grow to be 1 and 3/4 inches when they are adults.

You have to put them in a big tank at 70 to 75 degrees.Males blue line are straighter and slimmer. Females have their blue line curved.No heater needed.Filter is not needed because the fry gets sucked.Dont feed parents during breeding.Feed them a good amount before breeding.

No. All tetras are egg layers.

If you give a bit of information about the tank and the water parameters someone may be able to help you more. All I can do at this stage is say what they need and then you will have to see if that is what yours is getting. A reasonable sized tank (15gals minimum) because Kissing gourami (Helostoma temminicki), although they are air breathing Anabantids also breath with their gills and will grow to about 12" long. Water temperature around 73F to 76F. A cycled filter to keep the water clean and liveable. Regular feeding with some kind of algae rich fish food.

It is most unlikely that you will have neon tetra eggs in your tank without you going to great lengths to make the water perfect for neons to breed. Even if the Neons have spawned, it is almost impossible to see their tiny (almost microscopic and translucent) eggs which would be sticking to the fine leaved plants. The first thing you would notice would be tiny glasslike slivers wriggling and sticking to the glass and plants in the tank after they have developed into wrigglers.

You need to separate the newborn fry from other larger fish or you risk having all your fry eaten. Fry from livebearers (guppies, swordtails, platties, mollies, etc.) can accepts powered flake food, other live foods such as baby brine shrimp are excellent foods, feed a small amount every 3 to 4 hours during the day.

Angelfish grow quite large and can bully, even their own kind. It is wise to buy several youngsters and let them pair off, then keep the pair and sell the others. You shouldn't have any problems with shoaling fish and South American species would include most of the tetra family. Also fish such as pencil fish and head standers, dwarf cichlids and catfish should be fine. The thing to avoid is other species of angelfish (I once had one badly bullied) and fish with exotic flowing fins such as betta. Also do not purchase very small fish such as rasboras (I would stick to all South American species anyway, personally - I think it's more interesting).

No, what you are actually seeing when looking at the gravid spot is the eggs inside the mother fish. The gravid spot does not go away until the mother has given birth to her young. The spot will get very dark before the fry are born, because they will begin to hatch out of their eggs before the birth.

The emperor Angelfish has special adaptations that have helped it succeed in its environment. One of the adaptations is the bright color and also has the ability to emit poison for its protection.

Your Gourami has a stomach infection and what you see comming from its anus is the lining of the bowel. This condition is usually caused by poor water conditions usually as a direct result of poor or insufficient filtration and insufficient water changes. By improving the water by doing more regular water changes (at least 50% weekly) and getting a more efficient filter and letting it cycle properly you may save the fishes life.

Neon tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) Do not have babies, they lay eggs and the eggs are fertilised outside the body. They are notoriously hard to breed requiring semi darkness, very soft water and pH around 5.8 to 6 and a temperature of 80F.

1 inch of fish per gallon so you about 18 but you will have the guppies eaten or the goldfish's fin bitten off as goldfish like to eat fish that are smaller than them (other than goldfish) and guppies are fin nippers so I would be careful or not keep them together

good luck

no its to big and crunchey for them to eat just give it fish food

I've had trouble with my African cicalids eating them...

you can't force them to breed but you can put 2-3 females with 1 male in a separate tank and eventually you will get fry(babies). In my tank i have mollie fry and previously had platy fry whish has now grown up and are adults

No, probably not. They're just as small/ smaller than guppies... however...

The Neons are a shoal fish and like to be kept in groups of around 6 or more. If they're in smaller groups they will be nervous and would probably nip on the guppies fins. If the fin nipping becomes serious enough the guppy could die.

If you have to yellow or purple cichlids you'll get around 3-5years. My African cichlid just died today! (Purple) 6/11/12
