Where do I even start!? Today I started my breeding setup of fathead minnows (first try) the setup is a 35 gallon Rubbermaid wide. The rosy reds have a good amount of rockwork, brick, PVC pipe cuttings in the setup for breeding spots. Some already seem to be establishing territory. The setup is cycled and running smoothly.
HERES WHERE IT BECOMES A DISASTER!
Well the setup seems to being great since I added two dozen rosy reds. I can't find how many rosy reds should be in each spawning setup. Is my shoal too large to breed?
As I was posting a topic about my questions above I get a knock at my door from my landlord who knows I'm a fish geek told me a tenant left 10 common goldfish around three inches in a damn fish bowl! He told me to take them or he's putting them in the trash so I took them knowing I have no aquarium in my house that these fish would not be considered feeders. So I've placed them in the setup with the minnows until I figure smtg out but now that I'm seriously over stocked my tank may go to hell.. I'm using a 65 gallon and15 gallon HOB filter. With some serious daily water changes can theses fish make it one month Max?
I was debating getting a new pond this year, so now all the more reason! So please note these fish will be in s 175-225g pond in one month, will I be making these fish suffer in that aquarium for a month?
