There's literally no way you're going to be able to get those fish to grow to the size you're looking for and keeping the water clean enough to WANT to eat them in any reasonable amount of time. You'd be looking at changing huge volumes of water daily and putting in hundreds of hours of work for...

Glad to hear the tank is on the way! I find Del's don't get nearly enough love... Everybody wants to go Endli because they're a little bigger or ornates etc. But I think your original plan of a pile of Del's and Bushfish would make for an awesome tank. As far as CB Del's size yeah most of...

I do love baby Sens. They're what got me in to this part of the hobby about 12 years ago. Good lord I'm getting old.

A month after this post Mr. Del has been added to the 75g - after the second round of Maracyn 2 the fish never ballooned back up and the redness around the fins subsided. Fed the little bugger every couple of days, would do water changes, then fed 2-3 days in a row with water changes, never...

Update! Been about two weeks and have made some significant changes. The main Crypt perked up and is doing awesome, the Repens has fluffed up quite a bit and are an awesome shade of green and the Tennellum has been doing it's thing growing well and establishing runners. Though it was doing...

I'd avoid the catfish as they tend to be food vacuums and the Polys can be a little slow to the punch -

I'd flush those puffers after killing off the other fish personally lol

+1 With Cryptocoryne Wendtii and I'll add in Cryptocoryne Affinis Great looking plants for any set up, low tech or otherwise. They grow nicely and cover a decent amount of the bottom. My polys love laying around the edges of them

I've got Nicrew lights on both of my tanks, super affordable and they've done a great job with low to medium light plants.

$75 Wild Caught Polypterus Retropinnis When I used to do saltwater tanks I had a few different ones over $100

Good question but I don't really know. I'd imagine you could test on a set schedule and see how it changes over time? Got a decent amount of plants in the 75 but the 29 is the first "dedicated" planted tank that I've tried, so i'm sure there will be lots of ups and downs. I still picked...

Buce order came in today! Initial planting pics / 1st update attached. And a 75G snapshot for fun New Plants: Helanthium Tenellum foreground Crypt Wendtii Gecko (small plants) Foreground and Mid Crypt Affinis Red (middle, thinking with some light this one will perk up a bit) Staurogyne Repens...

Gorgeous looking tanks!!

You'd have no problem with that stock list whatsoever... and calculator or not you could likely have a few other odd and end fish, especially if you add some plants to eat up nitrates

I guess it depends on what you're doing the dip for, when I was recently treating a poly I was using 1 TBSP of epson salt per gallon in a bucket, mixing making sure temps were comparable and then putting him in for 25 minutes before adding back to the QT

You could add plant weights to everything with a less than perfect root system and add some small rubble rock to try to keep the logs locked in place, but there's nothing you can do to get a snail to act differently

If you had that fish for 2-3 years it was sick long before now and only a matter of time before it finally died. Polys are extremely hardy fish and it takes a lot to put them down for the count.. I doubt it's anything overly transferable or you'd be seeing issues with the other fish

cool. Figured I was probably overanalyzing at this point, will continue on a couple pellets or a silverside head every couple Days for a week or two and make sure the worse symptoms don’t come back

No opinions?
