I'd never take advice from someone instructing leaving a single mollie, your tank is to small for these fish wen adults, but u have them now a bigger tank is needed but if u can't get one regular water changes and carefull feeding will help

Sailfin plecs need at least 200 gallon tanks they get huge, I have 1 of around 16 inches

I'd leave it they should settle try tall plants and decrease lines of sight

Establishing the pecking order???

Looks fine to me he'll be moving at night try some floating plants to shade him from bright light

I'd add some water and get a dwarf puffer or two

My oscars were on X factor,

It's normally the move that kills small angels, or food bein fed that's to large ,lights too strong, properly cared for they all have the same chance of survival

I like Bryan

They like to just sit about

Only in america

I have 1 with angels and mollies and a snowball plec, I think he's a great fish aslong as they have a nice resting place, they become extremely active wen food is introduced to the tank may stress nervous fish

I don't own tetras or loaches and it's not right to keep them in small numbers, in my eyes 20+ is a good number,I see the aim as a fish keeper to be creating a world for your fish as close to the world they'd live in as possible,but maybe I'm not a good fish keeper I'm yet to see my fish smile...

What let's talk about piranhas??

5 in my book is not a shoal it's a small group, red bellies shoal in the wild, in public aquariums they are always in a shoal ( because they are a shoaling fish) the only things that prefer 1 or 2 are humans with tanks that are to small and do not have enough cover

And that tank had barely any cover also and tank was to small, there piranhas they are aggressive they are also a shoaling fish no matter what they should be in a shoal

Are you comparing yours to a the behaviour of a shoal you uursed to own or just that there ok because there alive?

There is no way without speaking fish to be able to tell what a fish prefers, they don't just use shoaling for protection they also feel safer and more relaxed as a group

Not sure about that any shoaling fish wild or captive will still do better in a shoal it's how they are supposed to live, due to there growth potential you'd need a huge species tank to hold the shoal therefore singles or pairs are advised when relax the fish isn't as happy as could be

I'd say you need more than 2 there a shoaling fish and also prefer more cover

No side on pic

I have a snowball plec, he's fantastic lookin black with big white spots, I payed 60 pounds for him when he was an inch long so quite expensive

Wats your water temp? How far was drive from lfs to tank, how long was the light left off for after release

Surely with a swim bladder problem she'd be struggling with buoyancy

She started about a year ago now and then, and it got more and more she still eats interacts with the others and does everything else normal just upside down
