fish tanks-freshwater

ive got 9 neon tetras, 2 guppys, a few fake and live plants, and 1 small pleco in there at the moment. going to add either a betta fih or an angel fish i figure and possibly a few bottom shrimp

The rule of thumb is one inch of fish per gallon.

how about guppies? i figure them and tetras are about the same as far as aggression goes

The guppies are live bearers and breed like rabbits!

Add an Oscar,he will keep your tank clean.

An Oscar will eat every living thing in the tank. Even piranhas.

Unless it's salt water fish.

What's the "rule" with salt water tanks?
I have no experience at all, just a lifetime of freshwater community tanks......

Fish by fish bases.

Goes more by the species. Some are aggressive, some big open swimmers.
Alot of them have blades that can kill other fish... Lots of variables

Plecos create more waste than they consume. I stayed away from them. I really liked snails. Just to complicate things froy ou chucklenut if you want a nice large 40g breeder tank I have one for you. No charge.

Always seemed to me, taking care of two tanks didn't take any more time, than taking care of one....
