Hi, looking forward to some good advice. I'm new to this but loving so far and fighting the urge to upsize already!! Need more patience.
welcome to AA,sorry to tell you,but your tank is horribly overstocked.Thanks all
I have a 90L - 20gallon tank with 2 angels, 1 ghost knife, 1 glass catfish, 1 flying fox, 4 rainbow tetras, 2 silver dollars, 1 kissing gourami, 2 flame gouramis and 2 neon tetras (use to be 10 but i believe this death rate is normal). I've lost 1 kissing gourami (from a dodgy shop i think - i'll not go back), 1 glass catfish (wrong food, floating flake works really well for my other fish and he fun to watch eating - a bit like the old space invader game) and a flying fox (in too early). I haven't tested my water but am doing a partial water change every other day now.
somewhere i read a clculation on the surface area of the tank versus the length of fish and i'm only two thirds of the way there. my fish are 23 1/2" long in total and the tanks supposedly allows 34". Here's hoping because i have nowhere else to put them!!!
no,most fish reach full size fairly quickly.i'm no expert but surely it will take up to a decade to reach these sizes? plenty of time to up grade.
dude,you just posted that.and its wrong.i'm no expert but surely it will take up to a decade to reach these sizes? plenty of time to up grade.
