New added fish today

[Metalheadx]

So I added some new fish to my community tank this afternoon ! I added another creamscile molly , already have one , added another ghost catfish , have 2 already , and about a week ago added a albino Cory cat , have a peppered Cory already , Here is a pic of the new Molly , very , very sweet and loving fish , also here is a pic of my albino rainbow shark , Max . He was only about an inch when I got him and he is about 5-6 inches now I would guess ! He is def. my favorite in the tank . Have had him since Feb.

Na to bad , he will chase my dojo loaches here and there , but to be honest he acts like sometime has to be the guide of the tank and look after each fish ....overall though he is a pretty friendly fish .

The only thing is that they need a min. of 55g when full mature , I have mine in a 40g b tank and he is fine and loves it but the breeder size gives him a lot of room width wise to swim and hide .... I will one day get him a great big tank but truly you should be okay for awhile with lots of spots for him . IMO for just one 40 g b is a fine tank ( for awhile ) . Here is a pic of the tank so you get a idea how many spots are for him .

Having had one before, I can tell you that I honestly would not recommend any tank smaller than 75 gallons for them. As they mature, their aggression level increases. Mine ate all my danios and started going after the larger fish, too. I rehomed him to someone with 125 gallon tank.

Ya for sure , they can be , mine has been really great so far , believe me I keep a eye on him real close , if he ever gets mean , he will get a newer big tank for himself ( love him a lot ) . And like I said also down the road I'll be upgrading to a 75g+ . Thanks for the advice , cause it will make me watch him even more close .
