e30 gangsta
Aquarium Advice Regular
Umm...you may want to reconsider the bgk. I was looking at these guys last week (they are really neat fish!!) and they grow VERY large- as in up to 15-20inches & need a very large tank. I dont know if there are species of bgks that do not get this big but the ones i saw did. Im sure someone with experience with them will know!
O_O This is the only fish I didn't do research on. How big are we talking like a 75g? Thanks for the heads up.
Excuse me if I come across as rude, but I laughed when I read a gangsta was keeping mickey mouse mollies. Didn't read through 12 pages so don't know if this is your kids tank? Any way, congrats on sticking to it and fixing things after jumping in blindfolded. At that point, a lot of people realize that it takes work to keep fish, and quit the hobby before they start. Next things next, read up on stock compatibility, and research each fish before you buy (What water parameters they need, temp, tank size, etc.). Most stores post a minimum tank size, but after any experience, you will know it is the minimum of minimum. If it says minimum 20 gallon tank, put it in a 25-30 at least, preferably more.
You're stocking makes me worry about the blue ram. If that DG wants to, it will tear it to shreds.
When feeding, only feed what they can eat in 1-2 minutes, not 5. Overfeeding is never a good idea.
Your fish also appreciate plants for a healthy life, some of them NEED plants to thrive. Not a fake saltwater set up.
And yeah, e30 gangsta. Seeing as I am into e30's. But you may or may not know anything about that. Its been my screen name on forums since the late 90's. Why change it now?
The tank is me and my gf's so I don't really have a full say on what I get to stock.
DG? I take it you mean my gourami. Hes pretty calm, and doesn't mess with anyone in the tank.
And thank you for being so negative towards my decoration, its my first tank. Its a learning process. Instead of being negative, why not be positive and help the new people who enter the hobby?
Big thanks, to library girl,Jeff, and JLK you guys have been extremely helpful.
Any answer on the ammonia going up so fast?
