Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hey, I'm new here.
Let me tell you about my tank. 20 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 19 inches high (16 gallon?)
I have two filters; an AquaClear 150 and a Mini
Blue gravel, no background, and plenty decor
I have 4 Platies. 2 are hybrids
I used to have MANY (mating can be something else) but many fish were given away and now I'm left with 4. One Orange Mickey Mouse Platy (female), Red Wag (male...and hasn't grown from a little less than 1 inch since it was born a WHILE ago), and two shiny golden bluish orangish Platies that are males (hybrids between a blue platy and a mickey).
1 Common Pleco, about 4inches long. He's really weird. No matter where I drop his algae wafers, he takes them and places them all in the SAME spot (I just got him today, only dropped 2 which he ate like they were nothing; all gone). Also, my tank looks MUCH better. I had alot of algae on my decor and on the walls...they're gone. Crystal clear. I didn't think he'd get it all but hey...
In about a month or so, I'm getting a 55 gallon from PetsMart. I'm not buying any other fish to go along with it. The platies will do what they did in the beginning (imaging going from 3 fish to 19 in 2 months). For variety, I may once again buy a few Swordtails and Gouramis, and then let the 16 gallon be my fry tank. So tell me what you think. Thanx
