doing tests on my tank right now

[livebearerfreak]

Right now your tank is 75% full about so around 75 gallon give or take a few. Plus you can't do weekly water changes so you at the very most have 50% capacity. So you tank is barely suitable for one oscar.

to be honest i could already had the beam up downstaires. its just i been lacking on stacking the wood. maybe i should get my rear end in gear and stack the wood tell im able to get the beam up!

3 firemouths ( or 2 and just keep one T meeki and 1 T aureus )

I would get to it and do it. Even then I would say 50% capacity because you can't do weekly water changes. 1 oscar can be good, makes a great wet pet.

I think both would work if the tank was full. The fist list may be a tad bit over stocked but if you got another filter and did weekly water changes it would work.

But like he said he can't do weekly because his grandparents are jerks.

would you all think going bare bottom would be better then having gravel or sand in my situation?
