Fish Suggestions........

[Silva_Fishy]

I want to add a new fish to my tank, a weird but nice looking one Scats are out, nothing brackish and i have an eel and a black ghost.......... sugestions? Something $25 AU or less, something small even if i have to move it as it gets bigger

if the tank you want to add fish in is that 15 gallon, i wouldnt add any more fish. i think you should get a nice big tank, then get some cool fishies

I agree that 15g is already full.
Maybe a little too full even

 

[Silva_Fishy]

now is it too ful?

 

[spAcE mOnkEy]

i think even that 15 gal is to small for the black ghost. you should get a nice big 55 gal. 2 of my tanks are crowded too.

 

[Silva_Fishy]

My BGK is only about 3"

Your 15g is very overstocked, not just a little. There are multiple fish that shouldn't even be kept alone in a 15g, let alone with numerous tankmates.

dudes its not full! i see his tank all the time. u bearly see the fish all resting in their plants maybe except for the angel but thats tiny!.

 

[Ben]

if u follow the inch per gal rule its only 3 inchs over!

The 1 inch of fish per gallon is for adult sizes not babies. That tank is grossly overstocked, a BGK shouldn't be kept in something so small.

Tandanus Catfish-30 inches
Juvie Angel-6 inches
Black Ghost Knife Fish-20 inches
Peacock Eel-15 inches
Corydoras-I don't know what kind they are so I don't know how big they get
Bristlenose Pleco-somewhere between 4 and 8 inches

your tank is quite over-stocked, unless your planning to get a bigger tank soon, you will have to consider the option of giving some away to a good home

Yeah I'm going to have to agree it may seem understocked now but even a 55 would be crowded when all of those fish are full grown.

no offence , but you should research your fish , maybe just a little before you buy them [ how big do they get ? should be one of the first questions ]. If you want to keep these fish you should really start looking for a larger tank , a 55 gal would be a minimum . These people who have posted already offer very good advice , you're gonna need a bigger tank or fish that stay small , very small .

HE DOES ASK THOSE QUESTIONS!!!!

you dont under stand ppl. his tank isnt over stoked and his fish arnt that big, when u see his fish they all seem happy. they dont look sad or depresed or they dont just sit in on corner of the tank. they all swim happily around!!! he saved that blaclk ghost from death. irt was in a tank full of barbs and it was being ripped apart. he bought it and now hes healthyier then probably ur fish.

Dont start ranting and getting out of your pram when you dont get the answers you want. This is a fish FORUM and if you put your tank stats on display you can expect some one to comment on them. The tank IS over stocked, the BGK or tandus catfish alone will grow too big to live in a 2 foot tank. As already said he should concentrate saving his money towards buying a larger tank, one of at least 75 gallons prefferably, and not buying anymore fish.
