Hey guys,
been browsing your awesome site for a while now so i thought id join up and say hey, i just recently got a tank and i have purchased 2 blue acaras and 2 convicts. i also have 2 5" clown loach that came with the tank, the lady said i may aswell have them because she didnt have a tank and that theyd die :O so... shall i keep them or give them away? i have a freind that has a community tank which will take them off me? just not sure what to do? also my tank is 126litres? is this too small for the 2 acaras and convicts? if so i will save some pennys and upgrade! how long will they be ok in there if this is the case? i want to do things right as i has a oscar before in a fairly large tank and as much as i loved him i had to give him away because he got far too large and at the time i could not afford another tank. s giving him away waswhat was best for him. any help/suggestions appreciated =] cheers

Welcome!

You might want to consider selling/trading the loaches as they'll eventually get too large for your tank...but they are slow growers, so you can keep them for quite awhile in the tank you have. Eventually you'll want something a bit bigger for you convicts and acaras anyway, so it should be ok to keep them. Also large loaches are generally in demand, so if you like them might as well grow them out, you can sell/trade them more easily when they're bigger.
