well i got my friends 3 foot tank as he said i would with the 2 fancy goldfish in it, well thats not all he had in there, lets see first of all there are 3 big tetra things (Astyanax bimaculatus) i managed to find them, and they were nicely picking away at the goldfish, then there are 2, well, i think some sort of loaches
these are the clearest pics i can take using my phone. what are they? there are 2 and they were enjoying munching away on a single female guppy he had in there,she was trying to swim but they just kinda latched on her, i have euthanized her already, (cup of ice, freeze til crust on top, break crust and drop her in, she was gone in i would say 1-2 seconds). there was 1 single albino cory,who is now in my tropical tank with my 2 bronze corys,they are already sticking together like glue.also, and all this in one tank, 3, yes thats right 3, rainbow sharks, one is around 4 inches, and the other 2 are around 3 inches, 2 albino and 1 grey, he said they chase each other constantly :headshake2: so in this 36 x 12 x 16/18 inch tank he had 2 fancy goldfish around 4 inches long, 3 rainbow sharks, 1 guppy, 1 cory, 2 loach things and the 3 large tetra things. hes had it up and running now for around 4-5 months, never did a water change, just top ups, and dumped food in every now and again. he did say he had 2 blue gouramis in there but they disappeared :eek3: needless to say im taking all the tropical fish to the lfs tomorrow, and im buying new sand/gravel as i know for a fact there is at least 1 body in there, i have seen it sticking out of the sand,im not just cleaning it out coz il be grossed out,at the moment i have taken the 2 goldies out and put them in a 20 gallon tub,with no heater,and the tropicals are in another tub with the heater running, i will keep the filter running as its got to be full of bacteria,so i will clean that out in a bucket of old water from one of my maintained tanks. surprisingly, all the inhabitants, apart from the poor guppy,look in very good condition!
