Try you local fish store, they may take him... but I wouldn't admit to them that he's intimidating to you :lol: anyways good luck John, also most killi fish do eat other fish eggs, as do all other fish, and are you 100% certain that it was him who killed the pleco? I mean you may have bought an...

I'd say empty the tank like 90% into BIG plastic containers and put the fish in them, then move the tank and the stand mabye like 10ft or even less away, refill it with the water from the containers and the fish (of course!) then set up the new tank and begin the cycle... also if you have 2...

Ok here it is, a 55 gallon tank ready to go fully cycled and now I just need fish... The guy at my LFS recommended neons and harlequins and mabye some rams... I like the idea but here's my stock idea any comments and advice would be greatly apriciated and helpful! 15-20 Neon Tetra (regular or...

I'd say get 1 Arowana, 1 clown or ghost knife and 2 Oscars :D That'd look great and they all eat live food so you wouldn't have to worry about one fish getting left out :lol:

:o :lol: Have fun tonight, you'll be up late for sure :P

got a topfin 60 and aquaclear 50 on it :D 110gallons of filtration and I'll be adding a 45 gallon canister that I'm getting for free from my buddy whos moving and he's just had it sitting in his room for 2 months, brand new :D

Nice looking tank! What size is it and how many fish?

I'd say juliis or pandas they max out a 2"

I'd say the corry cats or the cardinals first, gouramis can be territorial so putting them in last would teach them that others have the territory too... (i think) anyways good luck :D

corry cats for sure :D a school of atleast 6, and I wouldn't recommend getting any rams as they too like to school and you should really only have a school of no less than 5 and in your 25 with all those fish it wouldn't work too well sorry :P but gouramis are nice... I'd say put a few more fake...

Uhhh... I'm not sure your suggestion made any sense to me....

Cardinals tetras!!! or neons :D

lol i did that for the first week...

hmmm.... Odd... a layer of slime? could be that the water quality and the iso tank was poor and she developed it inorder to protect herself. I know I got an oscar from a petstore once and his slime coat was so thick you could actually see blood clots, Poor water quality is my guess... but as for...

First off, all corries are alike in care requirements, I was asking about water conditions and sizes you jack ass, I have delt with corries for many years and you come in here acting like you know every detail on fish yet still not willing to offer advice to somebody. Here's an idea for you...

OMFG why does everyone think clown loaches get too big for anything smaller than a 55gallon tank! EVEN THEN!!! Clown loaches will usually max out at 6-7" in tanks, unless the tank is HUGE ie 150gallons! people say they've seen them at 1ft, yes probably in a 110gallon tank to reach 1 foot or more...

See thank you for proving my point Irf :D

Yup Yup :D I agree with both of you (kitty and cane)! I'm starting a 55gallon community myself :lol: I've got it cycling right now with Mature media that was used in the same tank for about a year (I kept american cichlids before) and about 1/4 of the water for more bacteria... and I still...

Clown loaches only get too around 7" unless they are found in the wild, and it takes about 4 years in captivity to reach this size and 7" isn't that big for a 55gallon tank, also balas can live solitary they do prefer to be in schools of atleast 3. Aswell, clown loaches DO like being in schools...

Thanks :D I was thinking of getting 3-5 blue rams and atleast 3 Bulivians, The guy at my LFS told me they like to be in trios atleast so that's what I'm doing. So far my stocking for this tank is going to be 2 yoyo botais 2 clown loachs 5 cory cats (4 julii 1 peppered) 1 pleco (in regardless)...

bump :P

right.....

If you get neons, DON'T get angles, at a larger size they'll eat your neons :(

No bristle noses! They grow too large for a 6 gallon tank!!! hmm for the pygmy cory cats you schould get 3, the will breathe air when not enough oxygen is present in the water, or the water is to warm. So you should be fine with 3, also they are pretty easy to care for :D make sure to get some...

Hey I'm aware the angle fish, when large enough, have been known to eat neon tetras, my question is thi, Do Blue and Bolivian Rams do the same thing? I've just restarted my 55 gallon tank, but still not sure if I want to add rams because I am adding a school of 15-20 neons and 15-20 Harlequins...

Nice! Thanks for the great tip, I'm not currently using sand, but will be soon :P

Hey I've got my old 55 gallon tank running again and thinks of stocking it with... A school of 15 (minimum 20 max) Neons A school of 15 (minimum 20 max) Harlequin Rosabaras 1 Pleco (In Regardless) 5 Cory Cats (In Regardless) 3-5 Blue Rams and 3-4 Bolivian Rams. Would this be good? or should I...

Hope you feel better buddy, don't quit the hobby just because of one bad experience, loads of people have been in car crashes and they still drive around in cars... PERSEVER! good luck getting them back to health and yourself :D

I wouldn't recommend otto cats as they are VERY senstive, so I've been told, no actual experience with them... But my recommendation is to get 3 more harlequins... they like to school and the larger the group, the happier they are :D

Wouldn't you lose lots of sand this way? and even if it goes into the bucket, it's still "dirty" sand...

A school of 3 cory cats and a school of 6 neons OR, not and, 6 harlequins...

Not smart to have a hearter in there for goldfish, sorry buddy but that heaters gotta get outta there! you could add a golden dojo/loach as they do live in cold temperature... with goldfish your pretty much stuck with them, not much can be put in the same tank... sorry to be the barer of bad news :P

Wow, lose the atitude you jerk. I'm doing research on them too so you know... Common sence isn't something you posses is it?

Hmm... I'm going to guess it's a leak because no tank should evaporate that much is 5 days... my 29 gallon evaporates, but only about 1/4" every 2 weeks and my temperature is 81F... Odd though, check the seems of the tank on the out side and leave some paper towels around it on the floor, if...

What exactly are Julii cory cats? and how big do they grow? I just purchased 4 of them (I'm a slave to spontanious buys :lol:), and I just realized I have no clue how big they get, I currently have the 4 of them in my 29 gallon with 1 peppered cory cat, are these the exact same corys? They look...

A clown loach that is 7" long is atleast 3-4 years old, for it to get to 1ft (90% of the time only in the wild) it would take atleast 8 years in captivity... And note how I said earlier NOT UNLESS IT'S 20GALLONS OR MORE!

Betta + any cichlid (except rams, discus and angles) = MASS DESVISTATION!!!! lol ok so mabye that's a little overkill :P but that's what they'll do to him... OVERKILLED BETTAS anyone?

I'd say weekly, I just got my fish sold from my 55 at like 8pm :D restarted already and looking good so far :good: anyways Good luck with this tank :D I really hope things work out for you :)

Thanks much for the vote of confidence :D I was going to add Tiger barbs, but was advised against it at my LFS as they'll kill and eat all my neons :(
