Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / December 2006

I have a really vbig tropical tank and a tiny coldwater one so i

Questions...
1} How often should I syphon the gravel, a ten gallon tank with 12 small
tetras?

Many pet stores unfortunately just see the money involved and couldn't
care less about the animals they sell. That's why they cram bettas into
those tiny cups. More bettas in more tiny cups means more money for
them.

by the looks of things this group is inundated with first-timers like me who
jump in looking for the answer to a question then jump out, so apologies to
any of the regulars here for my bluntness. Anyway, I have two pressing
questions that I think people here might be able to help ...

A bit surprised there weren't many posts about this,
After many years I'm thinking about keeping an aquarium (again). It
must be a real small one (6 gal) and if I can help it I'm going to be a
good (cheap) citizen and save energy by not heating it. There's also

Can I feed these fish the same kind of food?  Right now I have the
basic goldfish flake food, can the tetra eat this as well?  Or should I
get a different brand of food for my new pals?
