Can all these fish live together ?
No. Goldfish and Tropicals do not mix. Goldfish are coldwater, Tropicals are warm water. Fancy Goldfish need 20 gallons to start with and 10 more gallons for each new Fancy Goldfish. Due to their high amount of waste, they need double the filtration. Comet Goldfish grow just under 2 feet long and need 75 gallon tanks minimum for one. They do not do very well with Fancy Goldfish because there will be disputes over food and signs of aggression. Bala Sharks are large schooling fish. 2 is not a school. Due to their size (14") and active schooling nature they need 5 of their own kind and 125+ gallon tanks as a minimum. There is not such thing as small Angelfish. Either they grow healthy or be stunted and die. Corydoras (Cory Catfish) are schooling fish. 2, again, is not a school. Glofish are genetically altered Zebra Danios. Zebra Danios are very active schooling fish. 6 is the minimum for a successful school. Zebra Danios should not be kept with slower moving long-finned fish such as Angelfish. The Danios will nip the fins resulting in infection and death.
Can all the fish in Finding Nemo tank really live together in a 75 gallon tank?
In real life, a pufferfish is not as well mannered as the older brother from "Everybody Loves Raymond". The pufferfish alone would make the entire tank a living hell because they were extremely aggressive and territorial. Except for the Angel fish (the one with the Scar), the rest of the fish seem to be saltwater and could mingle fine.
Can Koi fish and Gold fish live together in a 29 gallon aquarium?
They can live together, provided you have a large pond and you get some type of comet goldfish, since they are the only types that will grow large enough to compete with adult koi for food. As for an aquarium, that's totally out of the question. It would be like putting bass in your tank. You could keep a couple of fancy variety goldfish in there, but that would be all. If you want a tank full of colorful fish, stick with tropicals. There are lots of great stocking ideas for a 29 gallon, and great species that are colorful, hardy, and have personality.
What fish can live in a 5 gallon tank?
There's a few things that you must take into consideration when choosing fish for a tank. The first is, what kind of fish do you want to have? Would you like a single fish or a bunch of fish? Colorful fish or bland fish? Aggressive or peaceful? Common or rare? After that, decide if you want to have live plants. Live plants tend to open up the door for a lot of the more difficult species to keep and allow you to carefully add more fish than you normally would in a 5 gallon without fish. Another thing to consider is the footprint of the tank. This is the length and the width of a tank. A 5 gallon is traditionally 16 inches by 8 inches. In addition to the footprint, you also must take into consideration the general rule of 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. There's more to this rule, naturally, as common sence tells us that a 10 inch fish isn't going to fit in a 10 gallon tank very well. We also must consider the minimum tank size of the fish and their full grown size. For example; a common goldfish will grow to 12 inches and has a minimum tank of 75 gallons. Using the inch per gallon rule, we would learn that you could have up to 6 goldfish in a 75 gallon tank. But, due to the minimum tank size you could have no common goldfish in a 40 gallon tank. Lastly is your experience level. Have you owned fish before? Have you ventured into the plant keeping world? Kept any of the harder to keep fish? That brings us to this -- you could have: Male BettaMale GuppiesMale EndlersEmber TetrasCelestial Pearl DaniosEmerald RasboraSparkling GouramiCherry Red ShrimpGhost ShrimpNeritie SnailsChili Rasbora Scarlet Gem BadisKillifishBumblebee gobyBefore you buy your tank, if you are choosing the more difficult fish to care for make sure you do a fish-less cycle. If you have never kept a fish before, I recommend starting with any of the first three fish. Remember the above rules, and also know that many of the fish in my above list are schooling fish who need at least five to a group.
What type of fish can live in a one gallon tank?
Unfortunately there are no fish that can live in a one gallon “tank.” Really, the smallest tank available is a 2.5 gallon aquarium. I have several. And I have several of those really tiny tropical aquarium species of fish that are considered nano fish. There are absolutely no nano fish that are appropriate for that size. I don’t want to discourage you from fish keeping, but I tell you tat based on a significant amount of research and many years of fish keeping. What you can keep in a one gallon bowl, assuming you have a heater and sponge filter, are dwarf shrimp, specifically Red Cherry Shrimp. I believe you can have something like 15 in a gallon. But, keep in mind that if you establish a good breeding colony you will need more space.Also, as shrimp are the only option regarding the space of a one gallon bowl, you may not be able to keep them as shrimp require very stable water parameters. And the smaller the body of water the harder it will be to keep stable parameters. Temp will probably be the most difficult to keep. I believe I have some of the lowest wattage heaters there are and they are too much when summer weather hits (mid-Atlantic region of the United States) in my 2.5 gallons. It’s just such a small amt of water. Unless you live in a verry stable tropical climate. Sorry, but opt for a small 2.5 gallon, a 10 watt heater, and a tiny sponge filter and you could have a Betta fish.
What type of fish is best for a 10-gallon fish tank?
Very small fish are best for a 10 gallon aquarium. Even neon tetras should get a 20 gallon aquarium if you wish to keep them in a proper sized group and have them live to their full potential - they get bigger than many people think. Be vary careful in stocking because a tank this small is quickly overcrowded. If you have ever seen a large group of neons do their thing in a larger aquarium you would understand better why I say this.Ember tetras will work better. Chili rasboras are perfect. A pair of sparkling gourami would do ok, or it can make a nice space for a betta. Check out endlers livebearers as a smaller alternative to guppies, or a dwarf puffer can be pretty neat. Khuli loaches are cool, though it needs to be a very well decorated tank if you ever want ro see them. Shrimp are perfect specimens for small tanks.All of these fish suitable to tiny tanks should have a nicely decorated aquarium in which to feel at home. Remember to do thorough research on any fish before jumoing in with them. Good luck
What fish can I have in a 1.5 gallon tank?
That's a really small tank. So let's eliminate a betta right away. Just because they can survive in tiny tanks does not mean they are healthy or happy in one. I have a 30-gallon tank and have a betta and three other fish. Bettas love a big tank.So back to your tiny tank. If it were me, I would put one of these two groups:3 fancy guppies — they are about 1/2″ long and come in a wide variety of colors. Easy to take care of.5 neon tetra — they are small, about 1/4″ to 1/2″ long and are easy to take care of. They like to be in a school of at least fiveI really think the tank is too small for any other fish to be happy in. The two groups I mentioned are pretty and will be fun to watch.If you put in bigger fish or more than I listed, the fish will become stressed. When they are stressed, they get sick. When they get sick, the other fish will eat them and the other fish can get sick, as well.Also, for decorations, make it very little. Maybe one small plant and a thin layer of gravel. They need the rest of the tank to swim in.Feeding is minimal, as well. Only a few flakes at night. If they haven't eaten it in a few minutes, you've put too much in. Remember that fish you get are coming from tanks where they had to fight for food so they will always act like they are hungry. They aren't. Feed them once a day at night then turn off the light. They will soon learn that they have a feeding time.
Can I keep one comet goldfish in a 20 gallon tank?
A single comet will need 75 gallons. They can live alone but they really benefit from company, being so social fish. Comets are really pond fish. In a 20 gallon tank you would stunt their growth, their body would stop growing but all the internal organs would still continue to grow, get squished and lead to a slow and very painful death. There has been comets that lived for 45–48 years! They never stop growing, given adequate space.I recommend a single fancy goldfish (Orandas, telescope eyes, fantails etc) for a 20 gallon, or 2 for a 30 gallon, 3 for 40 gallon etc. If you'd like to turn it to a tropical tank instead you could have a community of small fish with 2–3 differently schools or shoals.Enjoy fish keeping and good luck!
How many oscars can I put in a 55-75 gallons tank?
Well actually, a 75 gallon is suitable for one maybe with way overfiltration and frequent water changes, as in two 50% a week, two. Do not listen to the one inch per gallon rule. I applies to small slim fish under 3 or four inches. Considering an oscar will grow to 14 inches, it doesn't really aplly. At that size, proper stocking is an estimate, but I can tell you that two is the absolute maximum for permanent solution. For six I'd suggest a 180 gallon with wet-dry sump and like 15 times turnover. Reshearch a fishless cycle and do it. It takes about two weeks and cost $0.99. See here http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=113861&hl= Also, it depends on which pleco. Any small one will be fine. Just get a fairly large bristlenose or rubbernose pleco and you'll be ok. If u get a common or sailfin, those grow over two feet, and you will need to return it. By the way, what idiot keeps a ten inch fish in a tank that's ten inches wide? God, I am not advertising the site, but for the good of your fish, go here http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?act=idx And good luck trying to give away some huge oscars.
Red Tail Catfish good in a 75 gallon?
You have a monster on your hands. I recommend this forum: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/ There was an obituary for an 18 year old RTC in Practical Fishkeeping a year or two ago. The fish lived in a 10ft long custom aquarium that was brought into the house by taking out a window it was so huge. It had huge pond filters attached to it and got 100 gallon water changes every day. The guy loved that fish, but it was huge and expensive to keep. His water bill was 10x higher that that of his neighbours. RTCs should not be in the pet trade. They also grow FAST. Expect your fish to have grown out of the 75g within a couple of months.
