  1. not that ive tried it, but id give about a 98.7% chance that it would try and float if placed in the tank.
  2. i sort of agree, i have a 37 and it is bordering on too tall. the 29 is fairly close to ideal. its tall enough to have more room in it, yet not so tall you are in it up to your armpits during maintenance.
  3. a 20L, and a 29 should have the same length and width, with the 29 being taller.
  4. with just 5 or 6, if you arent concerned with breeding them, id go Amano's. they seem hardier, and live quite a bit longer than cherry's.
  5. curious, does it click non stop or is it just a clicking noise when it turns on and off?
  6. some fish get triggered by it, but for the most part, no. if the water is good and the fish are happy it will happen.
  7. since you want to be able to sell them, guppies are the no brainer.
  8. smell is the first instant clue. if you really cant tell, stick it in a separate bucket of water. every now and then it seems they just want to take a day or two vacation.
  9. while the fish wont be bothered by the variety(for the most part, some are picky eaters) the real issue is after 3, 4, or 5 different foods, it starts to become hard to manage.
  10. im of the mind set that they all work, you just need to pick out the one who's maintenance, and looks you can live with.
  11. that sucks. when moving fish i use 5 gallon buckets with them hard to get off snap on lids. i absolutely fear the same thing happening.
  12. tank holds water, so if you like the stand, its probably worth 150. filters are fine, and as for the light, you can always upgrade. the tank, stand, and lids are probably worth the 150 in most places.
  13. i wipe them out, and fill to leak test. then drain, and set up.
  14. agree, direct sunlight can be a huge algae grower.
  15. ill bet they do like them, all kinds of micro goodies growing on them.
  16. over feeding can contribute as it puts nutrients in the water, the other big culprit is too many hours of light.
  17. way way higher than needed for guppies. 72-74 is about right, with a few degrees one way or the other being okay.
  18. you may or may not be crazy, but you are correct that those are fish.
  19. well with tanks, sometime you have to deal with ABC (always being crooked). you are dealing with the stand, and the floor, so when you start out level, once you add water it can and more than likely will move some. try to level as close as you can, but perfection is not required. you for sure want the tank to sit on a flat surface though.
  20. ha, this guy doesnt do submarines. ive been on 2, both tied to the pier. wont catch me underwater on one of them. it is true that a lot of the old boats were named for fish.
  21. electric cattle prod like game&fish use to count fish in a lake😈. just kidding. if you cant get them using 1 net, use 2. use one to guide them into the other net.
  22. the guppies form chain stores do tend to be on the weaker side
