Can you tell me if there are some problems that are gonna occur in my 15gal tank?

Question

it has 8 neon tetras,two of the are like 1cm and the other 6 are 2cm
4 glowlite tetras 3 of them 2.5cm and 1 of them 3 cm
i have 4 guppies 2 of them are 1.5 cm and 2 of them 3 cm
and 2 zebra danios which are both 3 cm

i make sure everyone eats.
i have plants and some display corals which may provide hiding places for the smaller fish.
i feed them everyday.

please tell me if they will have any problems....so far...none.
please suggest any tips that will prevent problems from happening like being aggresive and chasing each other.
please tell me tips on how to take care of them and tell me what things i should do with the tank like adding more stones,corals,etc.

please provide me with all your knowledge and what you will do to keep this tank safe.
thank you

please dont tell me any violent reactions about my tank.

just this morning my danios look like scouting the tank together....they are the bigger fish in the tank so...are they just checking out the tank or hunting down the smaller tetras?

Answer 1

Sounds like a pretty nice set up! I would suggest you remove the corals and instead us rocks, driftwood or ceramic decor as the coral will alter the water chemistry making it harder and more alkaline which your fish will not like.

Be sure to keep up good aquarium keeping practices like weekly 25% water changes and a good balance of a variety of foods and your tank will stay great!

Best of luck!

Answer 2

Your tetras and danios need to be in schools of at least 6. Therefore, you need 2 more glowlite tetras and 4 more zebra danios in order to meet this need. HOWEVER...this would overstock the tank. I suggest taking back to the store at least one of the species (glowlites, neons, or danios) preferably two, and make sure the school(s) you keep have at least 6 fish of the same kind. Your guppies will also reproduce quickly (unless you have all males), so please have a plan for what to do with the fry.

Also, is your tank cycled? Get your water tested to find out--a cycled tank should have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 20 or less nitrate. If your tank has any measurable ammonia or nitrite, it is not cycled and your fish could die from these toxic chemicals. A tank takes anywhere from 3-8 weeks to cycle, however, you can use the product bio-spira to cycle it more quickly. After your tank is cycled, 50% weekly water changes will keep the water clean and the fish happy!

Answer 3

Go get some books on fish keeping. There is a lot to it and too much to put on Answers. You will have to change water. The quality of the water is the most important thing. Do a little water reserch too. The first thing you will encounter is tank cycling. The only way to keep fish from dieing is to do a lot of water changes in the beginning until the tank gets cycled. A book will help you. Cycling can take anywhere from 3 weeks to 7, so get to the library so you will know what to do.

Answer 4

if your fish get riped or missing fins, can your danio's. they are tetorial and go after any fish they feel is invading their turf
other wise you have made VERY GOOD choices for community tank fish- and a better choice than most people, in tank size. (not a ten gal.) keep all your fish about the same size. (no barbs).
do a 1/4 water change, in your case- 3 gal. maxium, ONLY 1 TIME PER MONTH-take a safe siphon and drain down about 2-3" from your tank level. it has to come from the bottom 1/4 of the tank. ammonia is heavier than water so it is concetrated in the bottom of your tank. REMEMBER NO MOER THAN 1/4/ OF THE WATER AND NO MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH...
NO CORRAL, only stones and plastic ornaments purchased at a shop.
i owned a pet shop for ten years-- stay with your tetras.
if i can be of further help e-mail (robrr03@yahoo,com)
good luck

Answer 5

k so just a tip you have too many fish in your tank. the general rule is 1inch of fish per gallon.as you see with 15 gallons you have exceeded this limit. you could be OK but you need to change you water every 3-4 days due to the overcrowding. as far as aggressiveness goes.. well it does have a general rule to it.. their labeled aggression level is the rule of thumb, but sometimes they can adapt or just get along. But if you want to be on the safe side follow the general rule. the only fish in your tank at risk really are your guppies. they have flowing tails that will inevitably get picked at. and if you plan to breed your guppies it would be in their best interest to be born in a breeding net. otherwise it sounds like you are doing a good.

Answer 6

It sounds like it is overcrowded. A good rule of thumb is 1" of fish for every gallon of tank(full grown size not size when brought home), I don't know what that translates to in cm. Make sure and do frequent water changes. 25% twice a week and monitor water quality. Add lots of plants or other hiding places to allow them places to get away from each other. They can do ok like this but overcrowding tends to stress the fish even when you stay on top of the water issues.

Answer 7

Your tank sounds fine. If your guppies begin pairing off they may get feisty, but it's not likely that they will hurt any of your other fish. Just make sure your water conditions are where you want them and do routine water changes.

PS- Guppies and tetras have different water conditions. Try a neutral PH of 7.0

Answer 8

make sure you gravel vacuum and do water changes every week.

make sure everyone eats but no food goes to waste. you can get really small pellets for the little guys and it makes feeding a lot easier -- you can count them out -- much easier than flakes!

real plants are great! try java fern, java moss, anything from the anubiasor cryotcorine will work great and don't need any special care. they help reduce waste in your tank too.

with the small fish i would suggest some small shrimp like amano that eat algae or cherry shrimp. shrimp are very non-evasive most won't breed in your aquarium and they do a great clean up job and are fun to watch.

Answer 9

all your fish could be high-quality. zebra danios would be slightly larger than your different fish yet you may do ok. some people do no longer propose corals as decorations in a freshwater tank simply by fact they might replace your ph as they destroy down. all your fish could be high-quality. all of them are docile. have you ever considered including real flora? java fern and java moss and anubias are relatively elementary to strengthen. make certain you gravel vacuum and alter approximately 20% of the water a week and alter the clear out stuff as quickly as a month and that i think of you're stable to bypass. now relax! and revel on your fish.

Answer 10

Its fully stocked, no more fish. Be sure to test ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates often.
