Stocking A 40 Gallon?

Posted on November 6, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

Okay, I’m getting a 40 gallon tank, It will have all the equipment needed for a 40 gallon, including a heater. What fish would you reccomend for this size of a tank. I would like to stay away from cichlids and any large plant eating fish. I want this to be a community tank with peaceful, non-aggressive. Also, I want areas of the tank covered, Top, Middle and bottom. Also, I don’t want any fish that won’t eat anything other than live foods, because I don’t really want to go through the hassle of all the breeding of them. Maybe I will start a brine shrimp hatchery and growout tank for them. But maybe not.
Thanks for your answers
Oh yeah, this is going to be a tropical freshwater tank, forgot to mention this.
Soupnazi – I thought cichlids needed harder tank water than normal? Will other fish be able to handle this?

Can I cultivate Algae from sea monkey food?

Posted on July 5, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

My sea monkeys died and I don’t want to get any more for a while, I want to cultivate the algae in the food (for no reason, just curiosity) I have the whole packet of algae in the water under a florescent bulb with a bubbler in there… I have the tiny tank tool and a peice of stocking in there to begin the culture, will it grow???
Thanks, I don’t know if the algae will grow because I used a little bit of miracle grow in the water I used to add to the tank (after the monkeys died, they died from low temps) Right now I think the algae cultures haw enough air, because they are in a 20 ounce bottle with a 5 gallon aquarium air pump, I am concerned about light, though, The water is really dark, but I have it right under the light…. I don’t know why I am growing it, I can’t put any animals in it to eat the algae, since they are growing in a small amount of miracle grow.
