As suggested by Alia (very good idea, thank you!), I'm starting a new subject as from my last........ okay, as I thought... cat fish DO count in the tank. So with that said, I would like to get more without over stocking my tank. Any advice?
I go by the inch of fish rule loosely. I have a 55 gallon that has been set up (and cycled) for 4 1/2 months. I'm happy with what I have in there, but would like to add some more corys. I currently have:
1 large Angel
3 New Guinea Rainbows
2 Bosemani rainbows
1 turquoise rainbow
2 male swordfish
2 male dwarf gouramis
3 baloon mollies
2 cory cats
1 pleco (which I bought knowing I'd be getting rid of him later. "rid of", I mean, donating back to the store).
My Ammonia is 0, nitrites are 0 and nirtrates are 0. I do 20-25% water changes with vacuuming once a week. I have an aquatech power filter. I was thinking of getting another filter to add to it, but wasn't sure if that would be too much? My tank "kit" was from Walmart and I had read that it wasn't all that great Thus far it's been fine....
I have one live plant....
Anyway....... I calculate my fish based on their adult sizes not their current sizes. Although I must say I get alot of different reports on size, so .. we'll see I guess!!! Like the rainbows I read are 3 inches as adults, but some other sites I read they get to 4 or 5! Hmmm?
