Is this tank overstocked
- Thread starter Rtc/tsn
- Start date
Arowana, rtc/tsn, eel catfish, sun catfish, giraffe catfish, salvini cichlid a jack Dempsey and blackbelt cichlid. My main concern would be with my sun catfish, jack Dempsey, blackbelt and eel catfish they’re the most aggressive, the blackbelt is generally peaceful he just absolutely devours anything new including my hand during tank maintenance, the jack Dempsey is scared of everything but when he has a problem with something he quickly eliminates the problem and the sun and eel catfish are just climbs eaters and go after anything just for the sport
a pleco is literally a tank but I agree you should not add it. not because it would get hurt but because that tank is way too over stocked
Everything is still growing, there’s no problem in water quality or the health of fish also I’m going to move arowana and bullseye rtc/tsn to a 75 when I get it in the following months and give a month to cycle and move a lot of other stuff around
Did not read the whole 6 pages of this thread admittedly. The tank on the first page is quite overstocked, as I'm sure you've been told.
Also seems like you have a very poorly planned monster tank going? Not trying to be rude, but you are looking to upgrade RTC/tsn and an arowana to a 75 gallon? Which you won't even have for months... What will you get out of that, a couple more months? Then what?
I don't think you get how quickly these fish grow. Fish like these need lots of resources to be provided for. Unless you can realistically have a huge tank within the next year or so, you should sell them now while they are young and easy to sell. We have seen lots of teenagers post about their big dreams, planning a 500 gallon plywood build for their baby arowana. I have yet to see it actually happen how the person wants, always either ends badly for the fish, or the person grows up a bit and does some research and sells the fish.

I’ve done research I’ve done planning I’ve talked and talked I’ve thought some more trust me for years I have had this in my head and as for where you say you’ve never seen it happen, there’s a first time for everything and I’m known to manage things and make it happen please guys I know I’m new to the forum and most if not all think I’m just another teenager with dreams I promise you that this is not the case I just need you guys to trust me on this one please I know it all I’ve been planning for years
Ropefish aggressive? Where did you read that? I doubt that you are speaking from experience. ROpefish are some of the most peaceful/least agressive fish out there. Your probation status is well-earned I see, you're just misinforming people left and right.
