and snails

those were free, as they were too small to be sold

.25" in size so they are free if u ask

 

[sora1600]

Jeez, no offense but even though the fish were free, I would not keep them since your having problems with your livestock. Why are you adding more? Plus, I think darios prefer live foods and not dried. They can get quite territorial in a 10 gallon. Please do research and plan before getting any fish even if they are free. Pay attention to the advice given. Don't ignore it. Even though the fish are cute/nice/were great prices whatever to you, they are LIVE animals and should not be treated like things that you can just ignore, give away when you don't want them anymore, or let die because you think they are doing ok. That's not being a good fish keeper and would earn you a bad name when you plan to breed and sell fish.

Thx sho, I do believe that, i have researched on them, and i do actually know, they get territorial, BUT, as long as in a densely planted tank, they are fine, I am also feeding them live foods, live BBS, but they seem to like the deshelled BBS much better. I'm not adding more to anything, the 10G and 28G were both empty, and my tank stocking prob. is fixed, at least, that is what i think? or am i wrong? i think it should be fine, all the tanks are not 100% stocked

10G
60%
20G
75%
72G
90%
28G
20%

I do agree on not treating them right, etc. But I don't think they will die, as im providing for them, and they seem to be happy, swimming actively, eating, and i have never ever given away fish even if they start to bore me, I might transfer them to a diff. tank i own, and very rarely trade them/sell them.

Okay, yes, i did sign the agreement thing, but i guess it is fine, as none of the tanks are overstocked, the discus are gone, and the rest of the fish are prefectly okay, when i start breeding, i will be having more tanks, and more space, but right now, kind of low on space.

thx, i do agree with most of what you said thx

Sorry if I'm sounding mean but it is how I feel because I'm a breeder myself. We want the best for our fishes and it is the fish keeper's responsibility to take care of the fish since they can't feed themselves, change their water, or tell you when they're sick. I hope you're not using Aqadvisor or whatever that website is to check on stocking. It's not always right. What is your official stock in all your tanks, anyways?

 

[allaboutfish]

a stock list for all your tanks would really help people help you.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with the Scarlet Gem Badis, they are beautiful fish. However, if should want to re-home them I have a 10 gal heavily planted tank they would love...

Regardless of what others may think, he is allowed to buy whatever he wants, it's not like we can stop him. We can offer advice nothing more. I do agree though, you need to stop gaining new aquatic life forms.
