  1. Tank Journals
    I've been in the hobby for a bit over a year now and what started as an attempt at a grade 7 ecosystem project for my students turned into multiple planted tanks and a few different breeding projects. I'd like to keep a record of my tanks and breeding projects here. I am am an aquatic biologist...

    Hey all, I’ve been around the site a few times but I’m having a go at a simple planted UNS cube here that I plan to house CPD’s and shrimp in. Below is the starting photo and then todays shot, the Monte Carlo is doing well and getting an okay carpet. No CO2 but treating it with liquid carbon. I...

    I am going to record my journey related to breeding and raising some albino Corydoras and Celestial Pearl Danios. Since my Cory’s began spawning in my planted display tank, I have been collecting their eggs and trying to raise the young but have not yet been successful raising fry. I also wanted...
  4. Planted Nano Tanks
    For some context, I made this tank with aquarium silicone glue and rocks that I found (I made sure they would not alter the PH). It has been running for a little over a month and I added 6 CPDs (celestial pearl danios/galaxy rasboras) last week. One of them had been missing for 3 days, but I...

    I bought a dozen CPDs from a LFS and started quarentining them after drip accimating. This morning (three days later), I noticed three fish with bouyancy issues -- two floated and the other sank, seemingly outside of their control -- which died a few hours later. I now have a fourth fish that...

    I would like to do two schools of Myanmar nano fish and CPD and EDR fit the bill. Given that I have no interest in breeding/selling fry, does it matter if the two danio hybridize? (Edit: I'm also happy to hear suggestions for an alternative that is less than 1.5 inches.) Let me know what you...

    I am planning on redoing my artificial 10 gallon into a planted tank and I’m not sure if I can just do all female CPDs just to avoid aggression and breeding. I am also going to add maybe 12 cherry shrimp. Thanks for any answers

    I am planning on buying 10-15 CPDs for my newly cycled, planted 15 gallon tank. I'm planning on doing a species-only tank, but also maybe some RCS. I have read some conflicting information on their hardiness, and I am not sure how they would do in a fairly new tank? It's been up and running...
  10. Fish
    Hello all, So about a week ago I noticed a couple of my female CPDs were very plump, 1 of them in particular was noticeably bigger and bulkier than the others. In the last few days, I also began to notice that she was particularly aggressive to the other cpds even the males especially in a...

    Hello! I've followed this forum for a long time but never posted. This specific CPD has been in my tank for about 3 weeks now. Recently I noticed it swimming quite weirdly. Its lost a lot of color, but I don't see any visible signs of issues (like ich, or a fungus). Now he just kind of bobs...

    Ordered Celestial Pearl Danios from the LFS, this is what I got instead! At first glance they appear to be juvenile Emerald Dwarf Rasboras, but I don't know what those even look like so it's hard to speculate. They are pretty good size, almost an inch long. Note the dark stripes are pretty sharp...

    Hello, I upgraded my 40b tank to a 75 gallon tank about 2.5 weeks ago and I'm slowly losing fish to, presumably, some sort of disease. One of the fluval 406's was running on the 40b tank before upgrading so, the 75 gallon tank is cycled. The tank is heavily planted as well (plants came out of...

    Hey! So I a have been around for a while. Had some planted stuff going on quite a while back and put it away as life was busy. But as you can clearly see i am back at it again. I have a 10 gal. Nano going. It is not a planted tank per say as i was trying for a bit of an un-specific biotope kind...

    Starting this journal 1 month into it... It's been just over 2 Years since I've restarted my Aquarium Hobby. Starting when I was a pre-teen and reestablishing my love/hate relationship with fish now in my 30's. In the last 2 years I went from one 20 Gallon then quickly adding a nano 4G all...

    I added CPDs to a tank with nothing but cherry shrimp a few weeks ago, and they have all (7) been doing well. I happened to get 4 males and 2 females and a little one that I don't know the gender of, so the M:F ratio might be a little off. But they swim together and are very active and out in...
  17. Fish
    Can anyone tell what this is? It looks kind of like a popped white head. Not sure how well that shows in the pictures. He seems fine. He's swimming like normal and eating. Should I separate him? What could I treat it with?

  19. Shrimp & Other Invertebrates
    Since treyLcham posted a poll for tetra, and I always see CPD with shrimp, I want to know how many people have good/bad experiences with CPD and dwarf shrimp in the same tank (e.g. not eaten, not half-eaten, not legless).
