As title says honestly, I've got a lot of fish in my care, a lot of tanks, and not enough space still.
Here is the full roster of fish in my care;
18x male endlers/lyretail hybrids
12x female endlers/lyretail hybrids
6x fry endlers/lyretail hybrid
3x platinum rice fish
3x golden mystery snails
1x ghost shrimp
2x otocinclus
1x opaline gourami
1x fire gourami
1x powder blue gourami
5x black kuhli loaches
4x golden dojo loaches
1x rainbow shark
1x red tail shark
4x zebra danios
4x golden wonder killifish
6x neon tetras
1x clown loach
1x clown pleco
I've got a 20L, a 20T, 2x 1 gals, a 6.5 and a 5.5 rimless tank, all tanks are planted. I have a 60 gallon tank that measures on the taller side HOWEVER it is currently needs repairs and I have it slated for sometime in the next week as it is currently leaking, though any plans I would like to make would ideally involve this tank.
Troublemakers;
The rainbow shark harasses the red tail shark (shocker, i know), as informed by the family member I acquired them from, they have since been separated.
The killifish can't cohabitate with anything remotely smaller than them, they will harass and eat them. The killifish cannot cohabitate with the golden dojo loaches in a 20L, they will fin nip. Same for the danios. However they did get along surprisingly well with the blue powder gourami in the 6.5 when I housed them in there previously with a bunch of fake plants and things to obstruct line of sight.
The "I refuse to deal with the chaos this will cause" list
The fry need to be in their own tank until they are of appropriate size, I have them in a 1 gallon right now with some plants.
I refuse to mix the male and female guppies, I acquired them from someone who had dumped them at my local shop in a quantity exceeding 1,000 because they bred so rampantly that even his breeding setup was unable to handle the gross number of them.
The roster and current housing situation for all fish
20T
Loaches, dojo, kuhli, and clown alike.
Powder blue gourami
zebra danios
female guppies
1x mystery snail
20L
Opaline Gourami
Fire Gourami
Golden Wonder killifish
Clown Pleco
Red-tail shark
NOTE:
The fire gourami and the opaline gourami do well together in their 20L tank right now shockingly enough.
6.5G
Rainbow shark (is an ******* and in timeout on my desk)
NOTE: also keeps slamming himself into the roof to escape, tested ammonia and other levels, treated accordingly but will continue to monitor
5.5G
platinum rice fish
male guppies
otocinclus
2x mystery snails
ghost shrimp
1G triangle
6x hybrid fry
1G hexagon
unknown amount of trumpet snails, couldnt bring myself to kill them
a random tupperware
my neon tetras currently undergoing quarantine for ich, the fry were unexpected and took over the 1G i usually quarantine fish in
they were initially in the 20T and will return there once both tanks are properly treated as I found ich in the 20T despite my quick actions to remove the affected fish.
I have a 20L currently being cycled and setup in preparation to rescue a fancy goldfish that got insanely ****ed up by the fish he was shipped into my local shop with and nothing will be going in there aside from him.
The "I think they are okay where they are" list
I think my loaches can all stay together in the 20T I have, however I do not know what I should put in to cohabitate for the upper and mid ground levels of the tank. Currently they are with the female guppies, the danios, and the powder blue gourami.
I have my rice fish, my male guppies, and my otocinclus as well as 2 baby yellow mystery snails in my 5.5G with an absolute ton of plant life in there to offset the amount of waste they produce. I also ensured that this many fish was in a rimless setup so that it would force me to cycle water more often as a lot more is lost to evaporation.
The 60 gallon entering service will be unfathomably relieving in the efforts here but as of right now its getting cramped, I keep all of my fish in my bedroom as its the only room I'm able to control seeing as I'm renting just the room. I'm considering building a rack to house my 20Ls on so that they take up the same floor space, I currently have one on an ikea entertainment center and the other on a metal stand I picked up from the shops, but that **** is expensive AND cant hold two tanks. The space below it is currently being occupied by buckets of different substrates though.
