Its a fish tank like no other, because you are the only one stupid enough to mix fish like that from all different places, and sizes into one tank, that is that small. You are a terrible fish keeper.
@animewolf75 use the "one inch per gallon rule" so no i would go with 200 inch. 250 might be ok but if u want happy fish with the proper space go with 200 inches
Remember, people do not tell you about said rules, just because they can not afford that amount of fish themselves.
according to all your other posts:
death = failure
life = success
Well, would you like to live in a room with 20 people 24/7?
Oh and a good idea would be to focus more on the plants less on the fish. Create that perfect habitat for a few fish, instead of a useless habitat for a billion.
To snotbog1 Im sorry that your video's highest rated comments are from a person who admits they know nothing about fish and big tanks and someone who thinks the inch per fish rule is true.
Thank you for that. Actually, I think the inch/fish rule is a good standard for fish and when I bought these fish, I was fairly close. The problem for me was the unexpected survival rate as the fish got bigger. I expected at least some of my large tropicals to die but so far, none have. Hence, a crowded tank.
@snotbog1 Your fish look great. I understand with cichlids, overcrowding brings an element of peace to the community. And I suppose after raising these guys as you have, thinning the crowd would be a difficult thing. Thanks for posting your video.
Nothing compares to your videos, man. Oh wait a minute, you don't have any. I guess being cool is just bagging on others while doing nothing of your own. You should be proud.
Hey, hey...allright thats true, if your fish intrest YOU i dont have a proplem with that, im just sayin I dont find them as interesting as you do thats all im sayin and i guess i just shouldnt say anthing...i just joined anyway and i havent had any chance to make any videos...sorry man...i apologize
@YoDaJedEye The whole inch of fish per gallon is used to explain a general idea to novice fish keepers. The reason why novice folks are told that rule is because they have no idea how to take care of fish. Frequent water changes is something a novice isnt going to do and when they get a tank full of dead fish they need to blame someone. You can overstock fish as long as you do water changes, I for example do 70% water changes. Some fish actually need to be kept in larger groups.
@2studmuffin 70 %-that’s absurd, you could go anywhere and they would tell you to try and keep water changes between 10-20 % of the tanks volume. You can’t just change the water and overstock fish. They need the biological system in the tank to survive and they need space to swim and open up a bit. Doing large water changes hurts the biological system. The inch per gallon "idea" is used because it's true. You can overstock, but not to this degree. Concentration camp of fish like I said before.
The "concentration camps" were not evil because they were "crowded". They were evil because of cruel acts that were done to PEOPLE, not fish; people with souls; people with feelings; people with inalienable rights. Your comparison to my tank here shows your puerile lack of understanding of the difference between people and fish.
If you'd like to see how my "Nazi" tank conditions have just wiped out my tank with death and disease, check out my latest update: watch?v=4BPvBvflswk
@YoDaJedEye Any place? You mean petco, petsmart, expertvillage!? LOL . Like a said the inch per gallon is for 'novice' fish keepers because the stores dont want to deal with an angry costumer complaining about their dead fish. 10-20% is nothing, imagine pooping in your cereal and taking out 10-20% would you still drink the milk? Your fish dont either. Who said anything about no bio filters? Take a look at my tank and you will see 2 penguin 300's. Also my fish spawn after a large water change.
I'll be surprised if the Hillstream Loaches are doin k still, they need river rocks with powerheads flowing over them so they can eat. Plus they need a "Stream" affect.
im gonna stop looking at tanks on here now its really pissing me off. Do you retards no nothing about stocking levels? it would be a nice tank if you had 1/4 of the fish but even then it would still be to small for the bigger ones :(
@snotbog1 i think what he was trying to say is that the major rule for aquariums and space for fish is usually 1 inch of fish per gallon... there will be a time when the limit has been reached or overreached because fish keep growing to their max....
and the less space in your tank for each fish means a possibility for more aggressive behavior between your tankmates if the tank isn't upgraded to a larger volume
@snotbog1 i see they are and i know that you haven't bought anymore, if they aren't having problems that's fine, i'm just applying some insight to what that guy said earlier. =) it's a pretty tank... jw how big is it? your fish are beautiful and healthy good job which is the one with the striped tail?
i have six silver dollars and six small bala sharks and 7 clown loach in a 130 gallon tank which is 6ft long they are all healthy and kept well filtered by my fx4 fluval water changes once per month
I wouldn't recommend it. Perhaps for a few months but keep in mind that mine grew from an inch and a half to 6 inches within 8 months. (they are now pushing 8 inches). They guys really should have at least a 40 gallon tank and at least 4 or 5 together. Otherwise they get nervous.
Generally they grow to 6. Mine are almost 8 inches. Thirty is a bit small for this fish. They're very shy and nervous. They should be in large groups of 4 or more.
Please don't take this to wrong way...but your fish look bored! They are beautiful fish and healthy--not "boring", ...what did you do get them so mellow? We're setting up a 125g tank and want a nice, peaceful and non-violent setup too. Good Job!
einzigal.... there fish what r they supposed to do ? go drive a car to a festival ? all fish do are swim around or stay in one place.... sorry if that sounded offensive but its the truth
I KNEW IT! Me too, we started out with a Hex-5 to be used as a hospital tank for sick Koi, from there it went to 10g, 30g and most recently 125 GALLON MONSTER : o ! Someone should hold support group meetings for aquarist rehab!
You have some very beutiful fish. I see you have some nice size silver dollars to. Before I sold my 75 gallon tank and all my fish. I had a red hook silver dollar for 8 years he got to about 12 inches or so. I had some others that were not to far behind him. I'm just saying if yours get any bigger you may have to go to a bigger tank or just get a second tank. A lot of work but fun though rite.
how much did the tank cost you? Because i have a 29 gal with a pacu and oscar.......(I know it's not big enough) and i'm trying to purchase a 55 gal. for a cheap price. btw nice tank
Buying a 55 gallon for a Pacu is a waste of money. He will outgrow it in 6 months. Buy a wide 75-100 gallon tank. You will need to upgrade to a tank twice that size in another year or so and even then, the Pacu will be cramped. Tanks are fairly cheap. Stands, filters are spendy. I paid $800.00 for my stand.
