can you keep them in a 10 gallon

[Vash6the6Stampede]

@AngelezGaming

You can't keep same amount of fish in a 10 gallon.

If you want them to die to ammonia and nitrite poisoning, then sure.

The amount of fish I have in my 40 gallon should already be considered as heavily stocked. Sure you can keep same types of fish in a 10 gallon, but the number allowed should be much less. No more than 25% of what I have in mine, even with a good filter.

does the seachem prime have live bacteria in it? if not what do u use ?

[Vash6the6Stampede]

@seanlid123

Prime is just a water conditioner with the ability to make ammonia and nitrite less toxic temporarily. What bacterias are you looking for? The ones to help you speed up the cycle of your fish tank? If so, then go for Tetra SafeStart, which has the bacterias that feed on ammonia and nitrite. Unlike some other bogus products, Tetra safestart has exactly the same bacterias you will find in a well established tank. Other products' bacterias will ..drown in a week

did u get baby phantoms outa this ? looks like they are breeding to me

[Vash6the6Stampede]

@seanlid123

No. There is only 1 male... with 7 female. Even though I told them to send me 4 male and 4 female. They do that quite often, but I don't see any eggs, so I assume it's not mating dance, but rather try to see who is the boss, or maybe playing. Even if they lay eggs, there will be no fry with that many fish around.

@AwesomeAssassin1000

Eco-complete is the name of the substrate. You can buy them online for $20 per 20lbs. I needed 3 bags to cover my tank, and I think it isn't deep enough.
