How long till I will need to upgrade?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
actually, i'm going to change my mind and say ASAP. they will last for a little while, but not close to 6 mo like i oringinally said. guess i didn't realize how many you had even though they're all pretty small right now
 
What would you guys suggest getting rid of in order to keep them in here for a little while longer till I can upgrade? Right now to look at my tank it doesn't look like too much but I know it will. My water parameters stay great even if I only do a weekly cleaning.
 
The severum and silver dollars will probably be your fastest growing. The blood parrots probably next. The tiretrack, dats, and loaches, though maybe not extremely fast, will just get bigger and bigger. The peacocks are basically done growing and really won't affect the tank much anyway. I don't know what you're attached to, but to answer your question of what to get rid of for longevity of your 90, I would probably eliminate the dollars, sev, and bp. That would make for a cool odd tank anyway with just the dats, loaches, tiretrack, bgk. The peacocks are a toss up. That or you could go the other way and keep a cichlid tank. Kind of up to you.
 
If I had to pick right now I would have to pick to keep the tiretrack, dats, and blood parrots as they are my favorites. I could live without the peacocks, BGK, and the silver dollars. I only have them as dither fish. The clown loaches I like but would let them go if needed. I am looking at upgrading but it would not be till about this time next year.
 
See, with a little persuasion you answered your own question. :D That combo should be fine. I'd even leave in the loaches. The peacocks would probably end up lunch for the tiretrack anyway.
 
You're so smart!!!:D So with those what kinda tank are we looking at or will they be fine in the 90 for a while?
 
Should be fine in the 90 for a while. You're looking at like 6-7" fish in about that time (dats, bp, cl). The tiretrack will obviously be larger. Just keep up water changes.
 
Thanks!!! Also...
