Default Hello all....

Hello, I am new to the site. And fairly new to the hobby. I look forward to the conversations.

I currently have:
30 gallon freshwater tank
2 Rockeaters
2 Bolivan Rams
1 Gld. Ram
1 Pleco
and last but least 1 Marble Goby!!

I recently had a Butterfly fish die. Not sure, why?

Any advice for a rookie?

JJ

Sounds like a nice tank. Welcome to the gang.
__________________
If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded:
Serrasalmus
Tetradon
(figure eights and dwarfs are the
exception).

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families:
Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.

Welcome, and glad you stopped by. Im sure that between all of us there is someone here that can answer any question you bring up. There are some very bright people here on the forum and dont judge them by their age. Some of the younger ones here really know their stuff.

Once again welcome and feel free to stick around.

Default Thanks all...

Thanks for the replies. Looking forward to some good advice.

Know what you mean Doc, I was reading a really good post and looked over and saw it was from a 13 years old. So I'm guessing it wasn't a lucky post

Again thanks to all who replied.

JJ

Welcome to the forums! What were your water parameters? Any change in water & temp levels? Butterfly fish are sensitive
