Should we discuss how many fish are packed into less than 20 gallons or are we looking the other way on this one? Just wondering.

I only ignored it because it said a new tank is in the building process.

Thanks, man.
The tank thing is rite!!! When I bought this thing, which I think they called it a Trophy tank, it was the price from $48 down to $14. So I thought betta with some plants, but one thing led to another. I bought small fish and over stocked them , and now they grew, pretty crazy this hobby you just want to do so much when you get hooked.
Well new tank in one week guys , have a the money saved ![emoji225]

^NICE^!
Those are some good looking fish and you must be doing something right to raise them and have them grow!
What size tank are you looking to upgrade to?

Thanks, Caleb.

Yes my tank is overstocked, but I've had this tank running for 5 months now, low lighting plants, Aqua Clear hob, good air supply, driftwood, this tank for me was an experiment but it turned out well. I thought it wood of failed, but I kept it simple and the key for me was water changes.
I do 20% every 3 days , with prepared water. I've never owned Discus before, so I bought these guys and they are happy and growing. So far the experience has been good so far, but my new tank is in the works a 75gal planted. Still deciding pump or sump ? But for sure a pressurized co2 system. I hope this gives you guys a little bit more about me . [emoji225]

Hi man! 75 gal, planted with Discus and Angels, but more of a community tank with schooling fish.
In my weird tank , I got some already : cardinal tetras, serphas, harlequins, about 4-6 per school. I added these guys in about a month ago and they were very small and the price was rite, and now beyond belief they're doing great and growing.
I feed 2-3 times a day mainly flakes and every other day frozen bloodworms or brine shrimp, they love it. Water is about 80' and I plan to try a diy co2 in this tank soon as soon as I figure out which diffuser method I'm going to use.

Well Coral B, I hope this gives you some info man.

That will be awesome!

Thank you,

I've been lucky so far ! My problem is being perfectionist by nature is what got me back into this hobby.
You always seem to want to do more and create . [emoji225]

Lets see how my new build will go, and I will post pics for you guys .
Just so much to do rite now. I'm going to build my own stand first and I'm going down in a week to purchase my new tank, but looking for plant ideas as well.

Love the fish! 75 gallon planted? Awesome! Best diffuser for DIY? - CIGARETTE FILTER! So easy and works great!
