I have been at this hobby for less than a year and have found it very rewarding. I started out with 4 fingerling comets and a 10 gallon tank. I religiously followed all the advice about oxygenation, filtering and how to encourage a balanced aquarium environment. I was very succesful at establishing that balance within about 6 weeks. After about 3 months, though my tank water was crystal clear, I began to get considerable algea growth on the surfaces and dealt with it accordingly by cleaning, periodic water changes and by adding a few fresh water Jade snails. After another two months my fish had grown to the point that I was worried about crowding. I saw that I was enjoying this hobby to the point that I purchased a 55 gallon tank and three more filters, oxygenators etc and transferred my four 2-3 inch fish to the new tank. I also added another half-dozen Jade snails. Six more months have passed and the fish are now 7-9 inches long! HELP!!! Will this growth continue? I really don't want a bigger tank than I now have. What do other people do? My success has created a horrible situation in which I'm left with the choice of setting them free one by one in a lake or continuing to get increasingly larger tanks until I'm crowded out of my home with a tank big enough for Shamoo! WHAT TO DO???
