im sorry,not being mean but you are way overstocked,guppies need more room than a one gallon bowl,and plecos can grow to be 22 in,he is probably going to die if you dont get him a new home.once again im not trying to cause any problems,and i know this is :OT: but im just telling you in a friendly waybay_area510 said:
:and i have a question,is your bettas females or devided?bay area:
guppys need a heater and a filter. If you want to keep 10 guppies right then you need a 10 gallon for them. And bettagurl's right about the pleco. They grow 2 feet long. And what kind of feeder fish are they. Are they goldfish??
And bettagurl the tank is way overstocked. And why does it have goldfish in it?? You need 2 help that tank!!
