The Red tail shark is a member of the genus Epalzeorhynchos in the minnow and carp family Cyprinidae. The scientific name for the red tail shark used to be Labeo bicolor, but it has today been changed to Epalzeorhynchos bicolor (commonly misspelled as Epalzeorhynchus bicolor). Just like many other popular aquarium fishes with 'Shark' in their common name, the Red tail shark is not really as shark. Common names for this fish include Redtail sharkminnow, Redtail black shark, Red-tailed labeo and Redtailed shark.
The Red tail shark is very popular in freshwater tropical aquariums. It is very beautiful with a vibrantly red tail that contrasts against a pitch black body. The intensity of the coloration can indicate how well your Red tail shark is doing in the aquarium, since a diseased or stressed Red tail shark often develop a more dull and listless coloration. If you care for your Red tail shark, it can live up to 15 years.

Max. Size: 2"
Color Form: Black, Yellow
Diet: Omnivore
Origin: Farm Raised
Family: Characidae
overview
The Silver Tip Tetra is named for the shimmering white/silver tips of its fins. This sleek and agile member of the Characidae family creates a gorgeous and active shoal in nearly any freshwater aquarium. Though its body is mostly golden in color, the base of the tail has a black color that extends into the tail.
Native to the rivers and streams of South America, this community-minded, peaceful fish relishes ample hiding places amongst plants, rocks, and driftwood. The Silver Tip Tetra is ideal in community aquariums with other soft water fish of similar size and temperament. Since the Silver Tip Tetra is a schooling fish, keep Hasemania nana in groups of six or more.
The Silver Tip Tetra breeds occasionally in the home aquarium setting but a hospital or "breeding tank" will be necessary. During breeding, the female Silver Tip Tetra will display a fuller looking belly, which helps distinguish them from the males. Slightly acidic water is best for optimal breeding conditions. After the eggs begin to hatch, 12 to 15 hours after being laid, removing the parents will reduce the number of fry lost to predation.
The Silver Tip Tetra will accept many small foods such as brine shrimp or daphnia, freeze dried bloodworms and tubifex, micro pellet food, and a high quality flake food.

overview
The Praecox Rainbow, otherwise known as the Dwarf Neon Rainbow, is a peaceful schooling fish. Rainbowfish are known for their characteristic large eyes, black or silver band that runs through the middle scale rows, deeply forked mouths, and two dorsal fins.
A planted aquarium with plenty of free swimming places available will provide a good environment for Melanotaenia praecox. A dark colored gravel substrate may intensify the Praecox Rainbow's colors.
The Praecox Rainbow is an egg layer that spawns over a moss substrate. At a temperature of around 75°F, the fry will hatch after six or seven days. Adults should be removed from the fry after hatching. Fry should be fed small pieces of live foods such as brine shrimp.
Although Praecox Rainbows have large mouths, their throats tend to be narrow. With this in mind, foods should not be too large. The Praecox Rainbow should be fed an omnivorous diet of prepared flakes, frozen, and live foods.

Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi)
Minimum Tank Size: 10 gallons

Temperament: Peaceful
Water Conditions: 73-81° F, KH 2-6, pH 5.5-7.5
Max. Size: 2"
Color Form: Blue, Red
Diet: Omnivore
Origin: Farm Raised - Europe, South America
Family: Characidae
overview
The Cardinal Tetra brings delicate beauty to any home freshwater aquarium. It has a bright blue stripe contrasted by a lower red stripe that runs the entire length of its body. This coloration differs from its cousin, the Neon Tetra, which has a red stripe that runs only halfway down the body. Equally as peaceful as Neon Tetras, Paracheirodon axelrodi will school together for a brilliant display of activity and color to dress small to large aquarium systems.
Native to the slow moving waters of the various, well-vegetated tributaries in South America, the Cardinal Tetra needs at least a 10-gallon aquarium that is densely planted with areas of low or subdued lighting. Though relatively hardy, the Cardinal Tetra does best in soft, acidic water with few fluctuations in water parameters. The Cardinal Tetra should be kept in groups of six or more and be housed with equally peaceful tankmates.
Breeding the Cardinal Tetra requires very soft water in the 1-2 dH range, a pH of 5-6, and low lighting levels. The female may lay as many as 130 eggs and the adults should be removed at this time. The eggs will hatch in about 24 hours and will become waterborne in approximately five days. Feed the fry baby brine shrimp and other suitable small foods.
The Cardinal Tetra will accept many small foods such as brine shrimp or daphnia, freeze-dried bloodworms and tubifex, micro pellet food, and high quality flake food.

Latin Name: Hyphessobrycon eques 1.5"
Other Comon Names: Blood Characin, Callistus Tetra, Jewel Tetra, Serpa Tetra
The Serpae Tetra is an active, very hardy and brightly coloured fish that under normal circumstances is peaceful and can be kept in a community. Another side is also present in the Serpae Tetra in that it can be very nippy, taking noticeable chunks out of other fish's fins. Within a group this behaviour is normal and will occur as the groups hierarchy establishes its order, or during the excitement of feeding. If Serpae Tetras are kept in small numbers (less than 5), they are more likely to nip at other fish indiscriminately, and in any numbers they will nip extravagantly finned fish. This one failing should not deter the fishkeeper from keeping these attractive little fish, which providing they are mixed properly, will not be a problem. Keep in groups in aquariums with hiding spots amongst plants.

Danios are schooling fish in the Family Cyprinidae. Most species grow to less than 2'' and are typically surface oriented. A few types, like dangila and giant danios can reach 5'' in length. They are incredibly hardy and tolerate a wide range of temperature and water chemistry, making them excellent fish for beginners and newly set up aquariums. They are active, to the point of being boisterous, but rarely cause injury to other fish. Danios are native to south and Southeast Asia. Habitat varies from fast flowing streams to quiet pools. Danios are best kept in schools of at least 6 or more.

Tiger Barbs are a good choice for beginner aquarists that wish to breed fish, since Tiger Barbs frequently spawn in aquariums without much pampering. They are hardy and will accept a wide range of temperatures. If you choose a high quality flake food they will do well on a prepared food diet, but it is always recommended to sometimes supplement the flakes with more meaty foods such as Daphnia, bloodworms or similar. More information regarding suitable food during the breeding period can be found further down in this article.

The Neon Tetra is often described as the jewel of the aquarium hobby. It is easy to see why it is one of the most popular freshwater tropical fish. With their iridescent blue bodies and bright red tails, Paracheirodon innesi creates an exciting splash of color in any aquarium, especially when kept in schools of six or more.
Native to the clear water streams of South America, the Neon Tetra prefers densely planted systems with plenty of low light areas to hide. To best recreate its natural habitat, place rocks and driftwood amongst the plants for added areas of refuge. However, the Neon Tetra will tend to swim or remain suspended in the water column in schools to create a breathtaking display of color. Extremely peaceful, the Neon Tetra should be kept with similarly non-aggressive tankmates of a similar size.

Guppies, Mollies, Platies, Swordtails, etc.
First Fish
There are four Families of freshwater fish that are considered livebearers. This care guide deals with the Family Poeciliidae, which includes mollies, platies, swordtails, guppies and mosquito fish. They are called livebearers because the females retain their eggs until they are fully developed and give birth to free-swimming fry. Over the years, livebearers have been selectively bred to create a host of different colors, body shapes and fin types. They make great beginner fish because they tend to be peaceful, colorful and hardy. For many experienced aquarists, their first aquarium fish was some type of livebearer.
Natural Habitat for Livebearers
Poecilid livebearers are native to the southeastern United States, Mexico, Central America, northern South America and many islands of the Caribbean Sea. Guppies and mosquito fish have been introduced to many parts of Asia to help control malaria-causing mosquitos and are now established in virtually all tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. They inhabit streams, rivers, pools, lakes and estuary environments.
Livebearers Water Requirements
Livebearers are native to hard, alkaline water, but farm raised fish sold today will thrive in a wide range of water conditions. In nature, they are often found in brackish to full marine environments and will benefit from the addition of 1 teaspoon of sea salt or non-iodized aquarium salt per gallon of water. Make sure the other fish in your aquarium are tolerant of salt before deciding to add it. Most livebearers do best between 74° and 78° F and pH between 7.0 and 8.4. If the aquarium is kept in a room below 74° F, use an Aquarium Heater to maintain the correct temperature. Maintain good filtration and do a 20% water exchange every week or 30% every week using an water conditioner.
Housing Requirements for Livebearers
Livebearers are top to mid-water swimmers and most varieties can be kept in aquariums of 20 to 80 litres, however, larger aquariums are easier to take care of and give the fish more room to swim. They will be less stressed and show their best colors in a well decorated, dark bottomed aquarium with moderate current. Keep a secure lid on the aquarium to prevent fish from jumping out if they feel scared or threatened.
Livebearers Behavior/Compatibility
In general, livebearers are peaceful and make good community fish. Male livebearers can be aggressive towards each other and are constantly trying to mate, so a ratio of 2 to 3 females per male is advised to prevent excessive harassment of the females. Most livebearers live 5 to 7 years. Good tank mates include tetras, rasboras, danios, peaceful barbs and rainbowfish. Always consult an aquarium expert before buying any new fish for your aquarium.
