Need advice for addition to the tank
Heys guys
I was looking around at some cleaning shrimp. The only problem I foresee is the poor shrimp being eaten! I have (Without fins): 1 3inch Kisser Gourami 1 3.5inch angel 1 1.25inch angel 1 leapord dannio 4 neon tetras 2 pictus cats They are in a 30 gallon (see pic for objects inside) Aquaclear 300 And if not, is there anything you recommend putting in my tank in general? (Sorry about image clarity, my hands arent too steady) |

I have (Without fins):
1 3inch Kisser Gourami 1 3.5inch angel 1 1.25inch angel 1 leapord dannio 4 neon tetras 2 pictus cats May I give a gentle critic... the pictus cats will way out grow tank and they will likely eats the inhabitants that fit in there mouths... the tetras will be lunch for the angels soon.... Cories would be great if you get rid of the cats

sometimes if the angels are brought up with the tetras they may never mess with them. I would'nt worry too much about that... I don't know much about pictus catfish but i thought they only got about 4 inches?

Pictus Cats get big and are very lively fish needing alot of swimming space. I think your tank is overstocked and you'll eventually have to find a new home for your pictus cats.

so there are two differnt kinds of pictus catfish? One that gets about 4-5 inches and another that gets up to 24".. i guess you need to decide which kind yours is before you decide to get rid of them.

there are many kinds... the typical 5 inchers can make it to 8 inches and they are eating machines ... and need lots of room
