Thanx to all that helped!?

Question

4 gals. of distilled water fixed the fog problem, now what type of fish do you suggest? 30 gal. tank have 3 little one left, do I need a algae sucker, help!

Answer 1

Nope, you don't need an algae eater. In fact,in a 30gallons, an algae eat would cause more problems than it would solve. Chinese algae eaters reach 6+ inches and as adults are mean bastards. They grow into aggressive carnivores.
Most plecostomous species grow to 18-24". And they're poop machines.
These would be your choices for algae eaters/bottom feeders
A school of at least 6 corydoras julii or sterbai is great:

or you can get a school of oto cats: http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/oto_cat.jpg
Get a school of at least 5 of these (tank minimum: 15 gallons). They eat algae.
Or you can get a bushy-nosed pleco:

They hit 5-6", so the minimum tank size would be 30 gallons.


Next, you'll need some schooling fish to use the middle area of your tank. Get 10 of them.
Some nice fish are:
neon tetras http://www.aquariumfish.net/images_01/neon_tetras_001_w320.jpg
cardinal tetra http://filer.case.edu/~jjw2/cardinal.jpg
lemon tetra http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/characins/images/LemonTetraWFCh_C1124.jpg

glowlight tetra http://www.solodvds.com/images/fish/Hemigrammus_erythrozonus_s.jpg
zebra danio http://www.winternet.com/~mchristi/fish/zebradanio.jpg
... the list goes on and on and on.

You'll want a centrepiece fish, I suggest either a pair of kribensis cichlids:

Or a pair of bolivian rams:

Or a pair of apistogramma:

Or ONE dwarf gourami:

Oh, please please please be sure to PROPERLY cycle your tank! It is a vital step that must NOT be overlooked. Please read: http://www.ratemyfishtank.com/article2.php

And above all, before you buy anything, go to your local fish store, take a look around and write down the various fish you like. Then come home, research them, ask

questions about them, before buying them.

Good luck!
