It's time for some changes i've decided.
Let me start with the 55g. I have 5 young clown loaches (3-4" each), 1 angel (5" tall), 1 rainbow shark (4" long), 2 blue rams, and a common pleco. Until last week, i had another angel in there who was relocated due to abuse from the loaches. The loaches in this tank are being super aggressive to the chiclids. My rams are getting torn up (now that the small angel is gone), and they even pick on the big angel who is much larger than them. I thought loaches were passive fish - guess not.
So my question for the 55g is what to do about these loaches? Should i put more similar chiclids in there so they have strength in numbers? Or should i move all the chiclids out and make it a loach only tank? I'm stumped on this one.
On to the 10g. I've currenlty got 3 zebra danios (glofish) and the one abused angel. I think i just want to add some more danios (glo and normal) and plant it a little more. That tank is getting about 3wpg, so i was considering CO2. What's the easiest way to get started with CO2? one of those sugar/yeast reactors?
Finally, the 2g. It currently houses a single male betta. I really want to try out a "natural" tank with this. I've seen pictures of these and i really like how they look. Any tips on where to get info on them?
Thanks,
David
