Hello All
I had a 40G in the past with great success. I lost it in the divorce[emoji22].
My very first pleco lived for seven years in that bad boy. He was a tank and I miss him daily. I started back up a few months back with a 10G. I filled it with a few tiger barbs and a headstander.
But I was bit hard by the fish bug and needed more. So I purchased a 55G. In my excitement for the bigger tank I overlooked/ ignored a lot of basic fish keeping rules. Most importantly the not overstocking a tank rule. This led to an ammonia spike then fish death then the final straw ICH. I unfortunately killed 8 fish in under 48 hrs. I was upset to say the least.
The 55G cycled and the 10G was decided to be planted.
The 55G currently houses four tiger barbs, two rainbow sharks, and a Bala shark. I know the Bala shark will outgrow it but I plan to keep upgrading as he/she needs.
The 10G has four guppies and three shrimp.
Oh yeah and then there is bonehead the beautiful betta in his fish bowl because he was being mean and I do not have a tank for him yet.
As time and paychecks allow I plan to upgrade to a 90G tank and get bonehead his very own 5/10G .
