Now What To Get

[kidjatt]

Tank 1

After one thing or another my fish stock has gone down quite abit in my 5 ft (60x18x15) tank. Fish i have left are

3 Tiger barbs
1 blue lobster
1 RTBS
3 Golden danio's
2 sucking loaches
2 black pecs (not sure which ones, only around 3")
1 keyhole cichlid
2 common plec, Hypostomus plecostomus
1 Gourami (other just found it dead)
1 unknow catfish (around 3")
1 White mollie

The tank looks really empty, i think i could fit these in to my 20 gallon tank, but i wont.

Tank 2

30 x 15 x 12

1 red siamese fighter
1 angel fish
2 zebra danios
1 sucking loach
1 red barb



I just need some suggestions on fish to keep in each tank. Been to 2 lfs and i cant seemto find any.

Also i want 1 wow fish to put in the 5 ft tank, i had reed fish but returned them as they wernt as lively as they were in the lfs.

Cheers

first suggestion is to mvoe the angelfish to the bigger tank, it'll be much happier, 20gals is a bit small for an angel tbh.

i would try and get an ID on the catfish so we can help with compatibility, if you don't know please post a pic of it and we'll help. Likewise for the plecs

i would increase the group of tiger barbs, they do much better in a nice big group, get another 6 of them.

gna get the pics right now, its too damn fast for my phone cam, but i'll give it a go. The angels are only small, 1 1/2" to 2" max

OK firstly i would post that pic in the plecs section and get a positive ID on him, he looks like a common/sailfin/dibby to my untrained eye these are three of the larger species of plecs and will possibly grow too large for your tank, so i think you need to get a proper ID and find out if he will get too big or not.

doesn't matter how big the angels are now, they will grow and eventually start to struggle in the smaller tank, i think it would be best to move them now.
