My 30 Gallon Pic! And my weird lookin fish!

Tell me what I should add to my tank please!



What is my fish called? The fish store just called it ghost fish...

 

I used to have those! I love em! They're called glass cats too. They need caves, a low pH, and a school of 5 or so to make them less shy. They're quite nocturnal as well. Any small, peaceful tetra would be good. But nothing too boistrous as they scare easily.

 

i was thinking more decors? can anyone giv me advice on what i should get? (decorations)?

 

if you get those payara put some drift wood :wink:

 

thanks tina1 for the glass catfish info... and thank you 2na for your advice :wink:

 

I would put some more plants in the middle and maybe like some caves, pots it will make it look really cool ur gravel looks awesome

 

well... :wink: you know its only wonder rock haha thanks

 

re

what about a background?

 

nice, thought in the pic it dsnt look like a 30 gal. umm get a few plants, maybe get some driftwood for them to hide and play around. best of all would be a cave or something so they can hide.

 

thanks... how many gallons does it look like?

 

it really doesn't look any bigger than my twenty :?

Adding a background would help its appearance if that is the opinions you were looking for. (Sorry, I thought you were after possible tank mates ) Also, IMO any tanks appearance is increased with live plants. They also help the fish exhibit more natural behavior.

Just my $.02 worth

 

lol, sorry if you took it the wrong way. it just does, it looks about the size of my 10 gal. this is how it will seem bigger, can u c the length, width and hight? just curious.

 

IF u tell me all the messurements in inches ill tell u how many gallons

 

lol, thats what i was going to do but who cares so just post them and we will c what Mwn comes up with

 

Just to add on to some useful advices, they live in small shoal. Which means they CANNOT be kept as a solitary. If kept alone, it will refuse to eat and will die eventually.. Best of luck on your glass catfishes.

 

Sorry for stealing you heat :lol:

 

Another thing did u end up gettin the crazy fish if so post pics i wanna see it, and good luck :roll:

i decided not to, and i was thinking about arowanas but people here keep telling me all these things on why not to get it. :cry:

 

my tank measurments are 30" Wide, 19.5" Tall, 12" the side?

Measurments are almost exact, cuz i used my ghetto ruler for it.

 

hmm ok, lets see mine is: 18.5 tall, 12 on the side and 30 wide. hmm mine is a 29 gal and all is the same but yours is about an inch taller. so yeah yours is on the verg of a 30 gal. mine is a 29!
