I think a 75 is still too small although it would love the extra space a 75 would provide.
George is in a 110 which I still consider a grow out tank until we get the extra space for the new tank.
24 hours in and the moonlights are still fine, and they even do a little dance when they want food. They do look silly being so small next to GeorgeThe lip seems better, will treat again today just in case.
Hope you all had a good new year

If you look closely you'll see that bout 1.5 inches above his left eye he has
a bitten scale and then along his LT side he has a straight slash from his old ladies straight razor.
Sorry Tequila, I've only got around to watching this today.
Looks like it will heal fine. It is a weird sight seeing so many gg's in one tank and least they get on some of the time.
I can't remember if I've asked this before so apologies if I have...
How did you end up with all these red tails?

Thank you for your kind support. Really appreciate it.Loulou;1387120;1387120 said:Tudiapaktam, I want to congratulate you on your attitude towards all the various replies that you have been getting in regards to the size of your tanks. It could have been so easy for you to get pissed but you always remained calm and, most admirably, you kept a very open mind.
And you are so right in being so.).
Here in Mauritius, we use the same principle when considering tank size - length in feet. For example, my tank is 5x2x2. It's considered as a medium one. Big tanks are as from 6 feet. The biggest I've heard about is at 14x4x3!
Most of the tanks are custom-made in glass. Some LFS sell a few asian-made ones like Boyu but they are extremely expensive and very few people buy them. I've personally never seen an acrylic tank here.
And, Like Asia, we have totally different opinions when it comes to tank stocking!One member here, Jed (The Trust), has a tank that makes me drool and cry and howl and pray so much I love it. Yet, many people would consider it overstocked.
All our equipments come from Asia and, as I once mentioned, OHF like you use is the most common means of filtration here. We also use a lot of ceramic rings. I suggest you try a stacked setup (like the one on my 55 gal) for your GG - with 3 tiers, the bottom two filled with ceramic rings. I also suggest you get a 5 feet tank for it. You could try to house the 2 GGs you have in it. No gravel for ease of cleaning. 80% water change on a weekly basis. No other tank mates. A divider ready in case of aggression.
Our countries have very similar cultures when it comes to fish, my friend (though I wish here we could get the same prices as Malaysia). I'm counting on you to post as many pictures as you can of tanks, fish, filtration, ponds, etc. whatever you want to share.
I would like to learn more about your 3 tiers OHF. Maybe later I will post a few picture of my tank and the OHF for you to give comments and suggestions on how should I go to have the 3 tiers OHF.
On the GG, I dont think my RTGG can be house toghether with the Golden GG. My RTGG is aggressive towards other fish, maybe because I don't mix him with other fish except a pleco when raising him from small. If I want to mix the RTGG with the Golden GG, I will follow your suggestion to put a divider (non-transparent). Anyway thanks for the suggestion.
