Is this a good 30g community?

[sholi]

For a 30g, can i get some help with my tank?

-1 angelfish
-5 long fin red minor tetras
-3 ottos
-3 silver hatchet fish?

 

[sholi]

Why wont anyone reply!!!!

 

[bruinsbro1997]

I don't think anyone replied because this was in unhealthy fish...I'm sure if you moved it into general disscussion by asking a mod you'd get much more responses.

It sounds fine to me, just bump up the school of hatchets to five instead. Also add the otos after the tank has been established for two or three months beforehand and you know you have a good established colony of bacteria.

Omg!!! Ahahaha i'm so sorry!!! This was in the unhealthy fish!!! Xd so sorry no wonder!!!! Im so sorry!!!

 

[bruinsbro1997]

haha it's okay

 

[sholi]

But its just that i dont know how to move this though, sorry but its okay

 

[sholi]

i'll find a way by asking the mod

 

[bruinsbro1997]

Oh no problem all you have to do is ask one of the mods (ex. fort, mfdrookie, severum mama, etc.) and they will move it for you

 

[sholi]

yes i'll try doing that, thank you

If I were you, I would replace the red minors with a species of similar color. Red minors can be fin nippers and angels have long, lovely fins. Of course, some people keep them together and don't have a problem, but I have found red minors to be nippy. I agree with bruins that you should up the hatchet number to 5. They will be more comfortable that way.

So you're saying since red minors are nippy fish, i should get an "orangy" angelfish? if thats fine?
Or should i upgrade it to a 50g, (I might have some money for it) (and because it seems a bit to overcrowded with needing 5 hatchetfish) and get 5-6 bleeding heart skirt tetras instead?

 

[bruinsbro1997]

No, I believe angel is suggesting you get a different similar-looking tetra but not nippy, like (for example) red phantoms or bloodfins.

 

[sholi]

oh i see but are bleeding heart skirt tetras fine though? I saw them and they are pretty colorful.

 

[bruinsbro1997]

I think they should be fine

 

[sholi]

Oh ok then, thanx again

 

[bruinsbro1997]

no problemo .

Yep, that is what I was trying to say. Sorry for not being clear.
I agree that bleeding heart should be fine.

ok then thank you
