While at Meijers I saw a very helpless Black Moor in a tank full of dead plecostomi (sp?). Anyways I felt really bad as he was malnurished and on his way out. I took pity on the little feller and impulsively bought him. Got him home set up a quarentine tank, within a day he developed fin rot so I treated him with meds, and a salt bath. He started turning around and is now plumped up and swimming vigorously. I took him out of the QT and placed him in my biggest tank 20g long, with 12 other fish.
4 platys
4 rasboras
2 cories
2 dwarf chiclids
He seems happy so far, swimming and eating very well. I have lowered the temperature to 72 degrees, which is about as low as its going to get. I have upgraded my filtering capastities from a single HOB to a HOB and a canister filter I found off craigslist for $10.00. Since he's still a lilttle guy how much longer do I have before I have to upgrade to a larger tank? Also what size tank do you think would be best? I was thinking a 29 gallon would be a good size. So far all the fish seem compatible, however in the long run do you think everyone can be happy living together? If you were in this situation what would be your move?
