how do u customize youre web page and how many more creatures can i fit in my 10 gal tank? i have....... and what kinds


1 emerald cory
1 Bamboo shrimp
1 Hillstream loach
1 paradise fish
2 African dwarf frogs
1 chinese Algae eater
3 black kuhli loaches
2 regular kuhli loaches
 
lose the hillstream loach, cory, 2 of the khuli loaches, and the CAE.
 
non of the fish have died and ive had the tank 4 more than a month now, it looks like everything is going smoothly, is it?
 
cory shouldn't be alone
hillstream loach will die in tropical water
5 is too many khuli loaches
CAEs grow to a foot long
 
i heard that hillstreams are quick adapters and the paradise fish thinks it's a cory so i thought that settled that. In a couple years i will move 2 a 20 gallon tank and i also heard and im hoping this works, but my parent's have a pleco and it's supposed 2 grow 18 inches. it's been around six years and only 6 inches long. im guessing the size of the environment might effect the size of my CAE and the amount i feed it. i dont feed it that much any way. if it does get trumendelsy huge i will put it in my parent's 20 gal and if that dosent work i might have to sell it back. that might not happen 4 a few years though...
as 4 my hillstream loach all it does is hide near the filter with the kuhliloaches and eat algae wafers. it sticks 2 the front glass at night and looks like an alien. The 5 kuhli;loaches used to be in my parent's 20 gallon but they did'nt want that many bottom feeders in there. they play chase and hang around in the plant's. After all this i realized that i need 2 stop collecting bottom feeders and get some top dwellers for that the community starts 2 ballance out. There is no fighting or disease in the tank either.
 
corys are shoaling fish. they need the companionship of other cories. would you keep a neon tetra by itself? it is bad for their mental health and stresses them.

the CAE will grow to a foot eventually unless you try to posion him.

even if your hillstream loach is adapted, you have too many fish. get rid off all your bottom feeders except for 2-3 khuli loaches.

please use words like to and for and not numbers. its very confusing.

the reason the pleco hasnt grown is its stunted,its painful for them.
your ten gal is way OS,like FC said,drop those fish and you should be ok.
what kind of filter do you have?and how often do you do water changes?
 
I BETTER CALL MYSELF A TERRIBLE TANK KEEPER AND KICK MY SELF TO DEATH!
IM JUST A BEGGINER SO I MIGHT NEED TO WEIGHT ANOTHER COUPLE YEARS AND TRY THIS HOBBY AGAIN, IT;S JUST SO FUN TO STUDY BOTTOM FEEDERS AND HOW THEY ADAPT. AS MUCH AS I ENJOY STUDYING THESE FISH I MUST LEAVE IT TO THE EXPERTS! I GOT THE TANK 2 MONTHS AGO GO AND ONLY MESSD WITH THE WATER TWICE MAYBE? STUPID..STUPID... SSTTUUUPPIIDD!!!!! MY PARENTS WITH the pleco consider them selves "good fish keepers" and they only have 3 fish! the pleco i will have to talk to them about getting a bigger tank tank or else pooor pleco. didnt i say earlier about me selling the algae eater once its at a certain length? i no the hillstream is going to die soon, this is just an experimentental thing! im not trying to kill these fish like there hostages but i just got introduced into this hobby and a wanted to try it out. wat, u take me as a fish abuser or something!? im only 12!
dont be so hard on me. maybe i should disable my acount and move to another country even! i just wanted "to" make a frend that owns fish!
 
I started keeping fish when I was 12(now im 13):D
your tank isnt as bad as mine was :o
5 gal:
4 cherry barbs
3 neon tetras
1 betta
1 common pleco
1 molly with fry
I kept wondering why they died after two days :rolleyes:
