Breeding Tanks Build

Yes they are SAE and there is only aggression at feeding time and its mostly towards my other SAE and they have eaten all of my pesty GSA So im cheering

 

[fort384]

When I had true saes they were great tankmates in a community tank. Never saw aggression towards other fish.

I think the aggression comes in with flying foxes and the other sae look alikes.

 

[Jason7894561230]

So you think that they may be Flying Foxes then Fort? Because i bought them under Siamese Algea Eaters

 

[fort384]

No you got true saes as far as I can tell. I just don't think you will have much aggression towards other tankmates. They do best though in groups of 3 or more. Adding a third could keep them from harassing each other.

 

[Jason7894561230]

Alright i will, so my final stocking list is such
4-6 Bronze Corys
3 SAE
5 Herqulian Rosboras
4 Blue Rams
Is that alright in the 30 gal?

 

[Jason7894561230]

I reckon it will be.

 

[Jason7894561230]

Ok so the biggest set back has happened. My 30gal is leaking and at a substantiol rate. I dont know what to do! I need help

Is your 10G ready? Cycled?

If I was you I will put all my fish in the 10 g ( if is cycled even better ), run to get the 30G fix, put the substrate and the filter media in a bucket wit tank water trying to preserve the bacteria.

If the tank get fix soon, I will re start the 30 with the gravel and filter that is in the bucket, and read water quality, then transfer the fish back from the 10G.

IMO

 

[Jason7894561230]

I ahve 2 25 right next to it so im going to put them in there and fix the tank up and i will put the stuff in the bucket thanks for the advice mate

 

[Jason7894561230]

Alright my Bum is wet but the tank is empty and ready to be re sealed (ughh) then ill fill the tank back up and put the filter gravel and rocks (all ion water) back in

 

[Jason7894561230]

After school today me and Mum are going to re seal the tank

 

[ejaramillo01]

What a weekend, yours is the second tank with leaks that I heard in the last days.

 

[Jason7894561230]

Jeez i know but now Mum has the sealant and we are going to get started

 

[daileene]

please keep us updated jason...hope everything will be okay pretty soon..

 

[Jason7894561230]

Ok so the tank is leaking after tearing the other sealant off and re sealing it im just going to chuck it its something around the sides where the the something holds or whatever and now im looking around for a cheap tank thats hopefully free. The fish are well i dont really know yet so im in a little bit of pickle when it comes to them so hmm

 

[ejaramillo01]

Mmmm, not good, but at least it is time for a new tank!!

Use your experience, you give good advice to a lot of people here in AA, now you will use it to successfully switch to a new tank, keep up posted.

 

[Jason7894561230]

Ok so i have to umpire tennis then i am going to move the substrate into buckets with water and move the filter media is another tank so that stays moist and then i will take all the rocks out and put them into buckets. After that i will start draining the tank and then catch the fish and put them into the tanks where they will be temperolly staying.
Then we were either thinking completly striping the sealant off again and trying that again if so then i will post a video and and losts of pictures.

 

[daileene]

so sorry you have to deal with this jason....hope the little guys will be fine from all this commotion...:-(

 

[Jason7894561230]

Thanks Daileene i have completely drained the tank and took the fish back to the store i almost cried (i joke lol) but i was sad to see them go and came back with a really nice peice of driftwood. and have started scraping all the silicone off

 

[daileene]
