we've stocked our 90 gallon.... and i've done it to the best of my knowledge. (and trying to cope with a newbie boyfriend who wants the 'coolest' fish).
i'll list in order of what we put in...
5 zebra danios (mostly for cycling purposes.. might be taken out soon)
2 synodontis featherfin catfish
2 bala sharks
1 ghost knife (grrr he's disappeard and been gone for a week... dead or hiding?)
2 angels
2 geophagus jurapi (sp?)
2 weather loaches (he wanted some sort of eel-like thing.... we found these for now..... i cant stand them).
1 pleco *note about him at the bottom
10 cardinal tetras (he wanted a large school of tetra.... i warned the angels and geos might eat them when they get older... but cardinals had the coolest colors so we got them anyways).
*pleco- he's been floating around today. floating at the surface and in the current and not really swimming very well. not sucking onto anything. we have lotsa algae and a nice big log for him to sit on.... and its been about 5 days since we put him in. i added an algae tablet for him so he shouldn't be starving. what's the deal? i assume he will die soon..... what do you think caused this? tank has been running for over a month..... and was started with established filter spounge from my tank.
do you think i will have problems with the cardinals being eaten later on?
do ghost knifes hide constantly... or is it most likely he's dead? its been a week or so since we last saw him. the tank has lots of large rocks and large subtrate and big logs.... so lots of hiding places.
this strange mix of fish was the result of him wanting to do oddball fish, cichlids, and a community planted tank. i told him he can't have it all.... so this is the mix we came up with.
we plan on adding some clown loaches as well.... because he really likes them.
i guess i dont really have any particular questions... just any input would be appreciated. thanks!
