5 bolivan rams
2 gold rams
4 kribs ( not sure real ot the fake one yet)
1 pleco
2 pachx
2 drape fin barbs
1 red tail sharks
1 angel

apparantly i've been told i'm over stocked. and if don't do anything about it my clown loach will die a slow death! . i also have a 100lt sitting empty any suggestions?

err, start up the 100 ltr

the clown loaches will grow too big for your tank so you need to re-home them, the pleco also may depending on the species, i would then divide the remaining fish up between your tanks as follows

250l
2 talking cats
4 kribs ( not sure real ot the fake one yet)
2 drape fin barbs
1 red tail sharks
1 angel

100l
5 bolivan rams
2 gold rams
2 pachx

the rams and kribs should be kept seperatley, angel needs as big a tank as possible (if it's not 18" deep that also needs re-homing)

however this set up leaves you room for some more fish in each tank

aarrr.... while waiting for the 100lt to cycle, i decided to do 50% change in the 250lt. the loaches where hiding for a few days afterward. then i discover they are having a bad dose of ick ). have been treating them with meds. but two are now dead .the other causalties are the angel, but he is fine now and one of the gold ram RIP) the other 2 loaches are still in a bad shape. i can't move them in the other tank, as it is not ready. i can't even catch them anyhow, as soon as they see the net, they hide inside the ornament.
