He's a double moon betta, or half moon if your prefer. Please remove the females from his tank, because only a PAIR should be together, and then only for breeding purposes (very short-term). Please do your homework first. Bettas live in rice paddies in the wild, which provides a virtually...

Very interesting collection. The clown knife needs a 300-gallon single speciem tank when full grown, as will your soon-to-be-four-feet-long black pacu. The irridescent shark grows to eight feet...

Was the tank new? You should always fishless cycle (using pure ammonia) your tank first.

I recommend you fishless cycle it... Adding fish before the filters are mature with nitrifying bacteria will cause an ammonia spike. http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/misc/fishlesscycling.html

Water changes create fish miracles.

That is very overcrowded for a 3-gallon. Dwarf puffers would be a bad choice because they will rip each other up and any other fish... They need 5 gallons per fish. I wouldn't add any more fish... Only take more fish away.

Yep, 2-3 feet in under 5 years. Better start saving for glue for when he needs a 300-gallon! LOL! Nice fish! I've always admired them, especially when they reach adult size.

You're going to need 4,000 gallons (about 16,000 liters I think) if you don't want to stunt them...

The gang. Used to have hermit crabs... 29-Gallon 90-Gallon Sadie (Pembroke Welsh Corgi - turns 3 in February) Yes, I show her. Yellow! How'd I do, mom? ~ Freestacking Table Time! I ride horses... Don't own one, but here we go. I...

Unfortunately, your fish are pretty much all bottom dwellers. The tiger barbs probably aren't a great choice, nor are the shell dwellers (too small). As for the catfish/loaches, which would you rather have? I have a feeling there won't be room for all of them if you know what I mean :(.

Great plant work! However, did you fishless cycle (with ammonia) before adding the fish? Adding old water and old filter media isn't enough to support all those fish.

What do you prove by killing a defenseless creature for sport?

Before it was fishless cycling... But here it is today (well about 3 months ago anyway- the algae was gone a couple days after the photo shoot)! Tiger- All the orange coloring is gone now except two spots on either side right before the tail and a the upper lip. Citrus- A...

Tinfoil barbs need 6+ in a tank 6ft or longer- and 110s have the blueprint of 90s. The oscar won't work, he'll be too agressive. The gouramis shouldn't even be in with predatory fish, bala sharks need 6+ in a tank 6ft or longer, the pleco takes up the bottom- so no eel, and the pictus catfish is...

Clown knives grow to 3 feet and need a tank of 300 or more gallons :).

I've never seen such dark red belly pacus... That could be a sign of bad water quality/overcrowding :(. Either way, red bellies still grow to 3 feet (and can be a foot wide.)

Very nice JD :thumbsup:. How big is you tank? Black pacus grow to 4 feet+ (and from the looks of the thickness of that glass, that's a 55-gallon. Your pacus alone will need 500-gallons a piece :(. Red belly piranhas also prefer some space- they like schools of 6+ :). Is that an electric catfish?

Maybe, since they grow to around the same size. The clown knife gets way to big- 3+, and is real mean.

Yep, that should be fine :).

Clown loaches need to be kept in groups of atleast 6, and a tank of atleast 100-gallons :). Never buy from chains. Dumb employees, bad fish, poor managment :eek:.
