First, don't forget your fish will grow. And Black red-tail sharks will be 6 inches long each and territorial. So you may have space but your fish won't let anyone else use it anyway. Tiger Barbs need to be in groups of 6 or more AT LEAST or they will get very nippy! And the tetras are also...

Couple of things... How well did you clean the tank (maybe created a mini-cycle)? Second... how old was your water conditioner? Could it have gone bad? Third, is there a possibility your municipality started adding chlorine to your water recently?

I know it is heartless, but unless you are trying to increase your stock I would let nature take its course and let the strongest and smartest of your fish survive. If you would like to help them some floating plants or java moss would give them a good place to hide. Maybe some of that fake...

You could also do a Penguin 150 Bio-wheel (up to 30G filtration). It is a hang on back filter, cartridges are really easy to replace and it is quiet. This might not be as good as the Fluval, but it has worked well for me and is a bit cheaper. But if you have the extra money to spend I would...

Depends on your decor and what fishes you have. Darker fish would stand out with a light substrate, light colored fish would really stand out with a dark. Plants would look great with tan. I like natural habitats, so I would stay away from pink, but your preferences might be something fun and...

My cichlids are from Lake Malawi, so I decorated with rocks and Aragonite to keep up the pH. They are aggressive so I am not sure what else you could put with them, though I do also have upside down catfish and they seem to be Ok. Good question would be do you have cichlids already or is...

20 Gallon currently has brown flourite substrate, driftwood and not enough plants yet... but I am hoping for lots of green plants and need some fish to go with. I have cichlids, tiger barbs and bettas already (in other tanks), so I am thinking something peaceful. :-) I am leaning towards neon...
