How long till I will need to upgrade and what size tank do you think? I currently have a 90 gallon with the following...

5 x 2" silver dollars
2 x 2" indo tiger dats
4 x 2" clown loaches
1 x 8" tiretrack eel
3 x 3 " blood parrots
2 x 5" striped peacock eels
1 x 3" severum
1 x 6" black ghost knife

Anyone???

 

[green_fox]

depends on how often the fish are fed etc. but i dont think you have a long time

Seems a bit overstocked IMO id get a bigger tank pretty soon.

It'll be soon, months maybe. And I'd be shooting for the 200 gallon range.

And I'd be shooting for the 200 gallon range.

I'd be going for probably a 6x2x2 minimum, as some of those fish have the potential to get pretty big, especially the tyretrack eel, clown loaches and dats.

I know Cl and dats are slow growers. Sevs are faster but not ridiculously fast. A lil over stocked at the moment but IMO if you stay on top of the wc's and such I would start looking for a tank within the next 6 months

I actually do like 2 or 3 water changes and gravel vacs a week...I am a little anal that way!! I only do about 10 or 15 % each time. My water quality is great everything zero, nitrates run about 5. I have been browsing bigger tanks. I am also looking into getting rid of the ghostknife, and peacock eels...maybe even the loaches we'll see.

I'm going to go against the grain and say you have maybe 6 months and then would need to upgrade, ideally, to at least a 240 (8x2x2)

Start building a tank and by the time your done (if it doesn't take that long) you could move the fish.
