Compromise and say 15 gallons! You can certainly fit 6 zebra danios (modified and unmodified) and 3 small corydoras in a tank that size. I wouldn't put the danios in anything smaller.

I would say once a day, or once every other day. Feeding them two or more times a day is excessive. In the wild fish are scavengers and generally go a couple days without eating; their bodies aren't designed to hold excess food.

You know: 3 sword tails 4 otocinclus That's a fine setup right there. Make you feed the otos though; most tanks don't have enough algae to support algae eaters (who need to eat constantly, not just on leftovers)

$20 would be a pretty sweet deal. I paid $80 for mine. Seriously, $40 would be a good price.

I would say 3-5 more tiger barbs is a good start. You definitely need at least one more, but when it comes to those guys, the more the merrier! After that I would get another school of fish, preferable some speedy ones to keep up with the tiger barbs. Some platies (preferably all male) would...

Those are all very, very, very large fish. I would recommend a 180 gallon or more.

Green water is caused by a bacteria, not an algae, so regular algae treatments typically don't work. The slight increase in nitrates is definitely a symptom. It's usually caused by excess light. In some cases leaving the light off for a few days works, but since you've tried that, I would...

African Dwarf Frogs require 5 gallons to themselves. That being said, in a species-only tank, I might put three in there? But really, two is your best bet. Especially if it was a male and a female...

Gouramis are a type of anabantoid, meaning that they are a top-dwelling fish with a labyrinthine organ. Anabantoids are also pretty territorial. They don't like to be around other anabantoids. I suggest either returning one of the gouramis and replacing them with some new, non-anabantoid...

All fish need oxygen. I've only ever heard of one exception - a rare species of mollies that breathe in sulphur instead of oxygen. And they are not for sale. There are lots of small fishies available, and aquarium hardware these days are so great that you really don't have to do a whole lot...

If you can afford it, it's always worth it to get the bigger tank. Bigger tanks are actually lower maintenance, more forgiving, and your fish have more room to swim around, making them X times happy.

"Condition"? The best way to treat your betta fish is to keep him in a heated, filtered tank that's 5 or more gallons. Provide him with plenty of caves and plants to poke his head into and explore. Feed him a wide variety of food - betta pellets, brine shrimp, mosquito eggs, etc. Change...

Ah yes, the old sabertooth fish pet, predators of the murky deep. I've never heard of one being kept in an aquarium, since you'd have to turn the light on to see it, and light hurts the sabertooth fish pet. I'd recommend something else.

...So what's your question?

At least 30 gallons (20 for the first fish, 10 for the next one), although 40 gallons or more will be very much appreciated by your fish, I'm sure.

It depends on what kind of fish it is. Plecos, otos, loaches,some cichlids, and a lot of the known vegetable-eaters just love cucumber, zucchini, and maybe even a little bit of carrot (chopped up fine, of course). I would do separate research on the subject, to make certain that your own fish...

I really don't know what's up with my 2001 Jetta. I drove it over to the dealership on Saturday and told them about my issues with noisy acceleration, shaky idling, the car randomly turning itself off, and leaky antifreeze, and asked them to check the a) battery b) antifreeze c) timing belt...
