So here is the info about my tank:
26 Gallon Bow Front
AquaticLife Dual Lamp Light
AquaClear 50 Filter
AquaClear 30 Under Gravel Pump
90 Days Old
Last Water Change 4/27/11 (Weekly 20-25% changes)
Weekly Tests Done on Thursdays Results 3/31/01
Temp 26*C/79*F
PH 7.5
GH 10 (Med/Hard according to my test kit)
Chlorine 0 ppm
Nitrite .05 ppm
Ammonia 0 ppm
Fish
3 Baby Tiger Barbs
2 Albino Barbs
3 Full Grown Adult Green Barbs
3 Adult Blue Gourami's
1 Clown Loach
So how do the numbers look?
I am really debating what size tank I should upgrade to as well as what kind of community I would like to have. I am really looking at a 75 - 90 gallon rectangle shape tank. So my dilemma is do I move all the fish, some of the fish, none of the fish and start fresh in the new tank. So I was thinking of doing Gouramis, Angelfish and Discus. But if I do that I can't do any Barbs because the nip at long finned fish. Then I thought of Gouramis and Barbs and then transforming my 26g Bow to a Angelfish and Discus tank and have 3 and 3. So Can somebody help the new addicted guy out?
Any thoughts on Community set-up? I am trying to go by my local shops advise but I read on here don't trust an local fish shops. So any help I would appreciate!!
Lastly I tried to post pics and a video it would not let me post any said file extension not allowed I'm not sure how to do it, can I get a tutorial on that as well!!
Thanks for the advise ahead of time and I look forward to becoming part of this community!!
