A Few Questions

[mike777]

Hi all,

Well as you all probably know I have a 20 gallon tank. I was wondering if I have too many fish in there as of now?(I have my fish listed in my signature) If I'm not too overstocked can you guys suggest some good new fish to put in there? Any kind of fish that is compatible with the fish I have now will be ok.

Thanks you guys!!

I would keep things as they are, you may be over-extending your filter already...

Hi Mike777

I agree with Ken_g_w. Your tank is about full.

You have a really good group of fish. The tank is nicely balanced with some fish for the top, middle and bottom. I wouldn't change a thing!

Ok then, but can you give me some suggestions about what to get when I get my 60 gallon set-up. I should be starting setting it up near x-mas. I really wanna get some angels, discus and kribs I dunno if these are ok but if you can help please do! thanks again!!

Not sure on kribs, but I have angels and they are foodz hogz grubz. They scarf down quick and the problem is that angels are not really "angels" they are actually fat muscley butch boys in a fish suit. And discus are small baby girls who sulk like a sooky if they can't get food. Unlike the angels that jump at the chance. So putting angels and discus together is possible, but you have to learn a way how to feed the others too. I put clown loaches with mine because they act a bit like bottom dwelling angels.

Hi Mike777

I'm so glad to hear that you are getting a big tank! That's just wonderful!

I don't know very much about angels, discus or kribs; they're a bit out of my area.
But, I surely wish I could get some discus. I've been looking at the link below and can't believe how beautiful they are:

One thing I do know about them is that they are very touchy to keep. Everything has to be perfect.

(While you're at the site, check out the Celeynese Red Combtail gouramis. I've never seen a live one, but they are spectacular!)

OMG i didnt think that fish would cost that much but in the end it all comes about

Eelzor would they be community fish (the angels and discus) because I'm afraid of my danios getting eaten . Also can I please have some more suggestions I'm stuck! Thanks again!

Oooo I really like those Dwarf Red Fire gouramis! Hmm I wonder if 2 would get along in my 20 gal with my red paradise? Hmmmmm

 

[mike777]

I really like like those gouramis very pretty!!! and also I won't be buying discus or angels for this tank. I'm just gonna stick to smaller fish so I can have more and I don't wanna have to pay that much yet! (I'm only 11!)
