[ZombehWolf]

Black substrate and a blue background.......Ugly. 

[TheMichaelP123]

How many tiger barbs could i put in a 10 gallon tank?

[FundadaEN86]

how long do i have to soak driftwood before putting it in my tank?

[MrDarekx12]

DId your bala shark destroy that amazon plant?

[zunedog31]

i really want a bala. i have a 20 gallon but nowhere to put him when he gets too big. i need him to be happy too as my fish are non aggressive. can i get him? what do i doo with him when he is too big? donation?

[EpicProductions4Life]

lol my first fishes that i had were 3 tiger barbs

[Kevnick11]

its not smart to put tiger barbs togther with bettas.

tiger barbs like the fins of the betta

[ANAHEIM8]

how much was the cost of just the tank?

[crashnburnxvx]

how much are bala sharks

[arbizzle420]

its been so long but probably around the ten dollar mark, i suggest a tank that is 36 to 48" long, this was a stretch for sure, they need swimming room,  i am now into saltwater

[crashnburnxvx]

@arbizzle420 i have 2 125 gallon tanks. room is no problem. but im gona raise them in a 20 long. then when they get like 7 inches then put in big tanks. they will be in the 20 long with 4 pictus catfish....insted of bala sharks what would you recomend for a 20 long with 4 pictus catfish in it. wat type of fish. i want guppies but they will get eatin..any suggestions?

[arbizzle420]

balas would be fine being raised in a 20 long for sure, maybe some type of barb, they are pretty rugged fish they would last, or some kribensis....? its up to you, do your research though, i didnt

[crashnburnxvx]

i had 14 tiger barbs but i thought it was crowded and i thought they would be happier in big tanks so i put them in the big tanks. im not looking for and barbs...

[atomicman4]

are those amazon swords?

[busyZignal]

is there any fast breed shark cause im gonna buy some this weekend .. ??

[Saracen1988]

Is that sand or black gravel?

[CFgirl]

-steals your crab- :D

[muskieman451]

nice tank are the tigers fully grown?

[tcmpainmaker83]

lol my female betta looks almost identical to yours. Very nice tank but a bit small for 7 tiger barbs. Crab looks cool but are you sure hes fully aquatic?

[arbizzle420]

this was my first aquarium, learned a few thins the hard way, crab died, never found out what actual species he was, thanks for the concern though

[PSNjizzcake]

crabs need brackish water at the least. there is no such thing as a true freshwater crab.

[edpaek]

you need to get rid of that shitty ass light blue background and get some real lighting. post a video you NOOB, not pictures

[arbizzle420]

real nice guy, doesnt everybody agree

[xxownyoasxx]

yea dont listen to him hes a fag =]

[arbizzle420]

only if i can feed your cichlids to my oscar

[Sursion7]

You should probably have more than one Bala Shark. They're schooling fish.

[arbizzle420]

this tank is very old and the bala is now in a river tank along with 4 other balas, thanks

[FishOnline123]

Where did u get the crab

[arbizzle420]

got it at big als aquarium services

[Saracen1988]

arn't the tiger barbs meant be fin nippers? BETTA

[arbizzle420]

yes they are, but the female betta doesnt have long flowing fins like the males, they never bothered it

[arbizzle420]

exactly what he said

[iversunfan]

SOMEONE PLEASE REPLY!!!! HI I AM PLANNING ON GETTING 5 OR MAYBE SIX TIGER bArbs FOR MY TEN GALLON> WILL THEY BE FINE IN A TEN GALLON FOR THEY're LIFETIME AND WILL THEY BE hAPPY??? BY THE WAY I AM NOT PLAnnING ON PUTTING ANY OTHER FISH IN THE TANK JUST THE BARBS.

[i1m1p1e1r]

they will be fine for their life. they are a shoaling fish so they will be perfect if they are alone. 10 gallons is fine dont worry

[arbizzle420]

yes they will fully grow, what size are they now?

[Leg3ndFlip23]

can 8 tiger baby tiger barbs fully grow in a 25gallon? cuz ive been keeping 8barbs for 2months and stil the same size =S

[FishOnline123]

lol i got 2 in a 15 gallon, they have grown 2 times bigger than when i bought them

[arbizzle420]

the "grass" is some sort of Valesnia not sure what kind, bought it at big als under the name Jungle Val.

[sinfulx]

Nice tank. What kind of grass is that?

[FaRR3L0l33RY]

do fish sleep? if so how?

[fishbreeder87]

is $150 (Canadian) a good buy for a 20 tank?

[fishbreeder87]

btw its a starter kit

[salvadorbarrios]

nop

[arbizzle420]

you should just go look on classified ads around your town and look for good deals, if ya find something, let me know and ill tell you if its a good deal or not

[fishbreeder87]

i might just go to the lfs and buy everything eseprate good or no?

[arbizzle420]

yea thats a great idea, you dont want to cheap out on filters and heaters because you dont want them to break down on you. is it your first tank? if youre from the ottawa area you should check out the ovas website. lots of information

[fishbreeder87]

no not my first lol i have a 10 gallon ive had it for 7 years i find whisper filters work great and a heater i have brand name radianl i think been goign for 7 years:) and also do you use chemicals in your tank?

[sinfulx]

you can get them pretty cheap now.. There was a sale a while back at petco for 20 gal starter kit.. Got mine for $50 USD.

[SteVeJRat]

will a crab attack any fish? or are they like independent?

[arbizzle420]

the crab will try and attack the fish, although they are not nearly quick enough to catch one

[Hobomago]

i think his crap is a rusty crab

[ddtran46]

is that black sand?? where did u buy it at??

[arbizzle420]

its actually black flourite from seachem, got it al Big Als Aquarium

[arbizzle420]

i love tiger barbs, theyre great

[PoeTrY91]

tiger barbs are my fav.

[apaperclip666]

dude my fav fish easy matnce srry bout my spelling is the bala shark there relly easy to take care of

[arbizzle420]

200 views!

[arbizzle420]

lol i know they get nice and big i have 2 4 inchers in my 65 gallon right now, but so far in my other 20 gallon i have 5 zebra danios

[peacemage]

well a bala shark is not the best idea, but you can do it (they get very big) but maybe kissing gouramis, dwarf gouramis, maybe rainbow sharks, german rams, any mollie you want, tetras (neons are cool), guppies or cory cat fish those are just some sugestions there are loads of other fish.

[arbizzle420]

i have a 20 gallon tank, gonna fill it, not sure what to put in it, any suggestions??

[tavelkyosoba]

If I could start over I'd go with 4-5 smaller danios (dwarf danios if you can find them, zebras get a little bigger), maybe 4-5 harlequin rasboras, 2-3 guppies, and the bottom feeder of your choice.

it should come out to about 24" of fish which is kind of a heavy load, but shouldn't be a problem with weekly or biweekly water changes.
