first off i need to know if this seems a bit overcrowded. none of these fish are agressive(suprisingly to me) but some of the fish are gettign kinda big so here they are...
1 albino rainbow shark(2.5 in.)
1 stiped rapheal cat(3.5 in)
2 pictus cats(3.5in. ea.)
1 spotted cory
1 serpae tetra(i know, they're schooling fish)
1 rubber lip pleco(just under 2 in.)
2 ottos
2 small crawdads(one with 2 front pinsers and one w/ none)
2 unknowns i got from a creek near my home
29gallon tank
My next question/problem is that i got the 2 minnows and the 2 crawdads from a creek by my house. so far nothing bad has happened but i feel really stupid for doing it and putting all my fish in jeapardy. the creek has always been clean and everyone drinks from it in the summer and no one has been sick from it. also ive fed my fish really small minnows from the creek before(they were thorouhgly gobbled) and nothing happened to the fish that ate them but i just want to be really carefull and cautios for a while. thanks in advance for the help.
 
I would find new homes for all, except the cory and start over.
 
ok thanks and youre right the creek water is quite chilly, they seem to have adapted well though
 
new home for all?!?! ive had the albino rainbow for like 8 months and i dont reall want to get rid of him, but i dont really have a problem giving up any of the other fish, theyre just too big.
 
I think some of these stocking issues have been discussed in your other threads.
 
Get rid of the crayfish,minnows,pictus cats,pleco and rapheal cat, Get more cories and tetras.
 
rbishop u are correct. idk i just like to have people who know more than me help me out. i wish i had a bigger tank but i cant see that happenning in the near future. i think im gonna take youre advise guys and find better homes for the fish and start anew.
