New guy!

[Gorty]

Whats up everyone I’m Gorty! Im from Long Island New York and I’m fairly new to the hobby. I have a 50g cichlid tank and a 5g that I’m going to try to breed endlers in!

welcome! isnt 5g kinda small for endlers?

Hi and welcome!

Would urge you to reconsider Endlers in a 5g - they're small fish, but also fast active swimmers that need more space, and breed like wildfire, so the water in a 5g with breeding endlers would be naaasty very quick! A five gal is perfect some shrimp, or to house a single betta though! Or you could look for a 10-20g if Endler breeding is your passion. I'm not in the US, but I know some US members would know when Petco do their dollar per gallon sale!

Hope you join in and have fun here!

They dont do that anymore.

They dont do that anymore.

Dang, that sucks!

The second-hand market is probably the best option then, for people looking for tanks at a bargain price.

Hi & welcome to TFF...
The 5g tank could also be used as a quarantine tank. Always good to have a QT...
