Need some help with stocking

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The reason I thought of the Bala is because my LFS has one that is about 6in for $20. By the time Moby's big enough to eat that he should be ready to be transfered to a pond, no?
Lately Merlin (the GG) has been messing with Moby (the TSN) off and on. He isn't doing any damage and doesn't seem to be particularly aggressive, the GG is just nudging him. He's not nipping fins or anything like that. But Moby is so skittish that he hurts himself in the process cause he goes bananas and hits the side of the tank. If we had another fish in there for the GG to be occupied with do you think that might help. Kind of like a dither?
Or do you think I might have to seperate them? The GG has been getting more and more out going lately as he settles in. They've been in the tank togther for about a month now and there have been no injuries but I'm nervous that it's going to progress and get worse.
 
Well we are getting another 130gal from a friend soon. I just have to wrangle some people to help transport it. So if anything I'll just move the GG to the other tank. I think I'm going to get the Bala and see how it goes. If all hell breaks out than I'll put in a divider until I can get the other tank up and running. So far still no injuries. I've been in down there a lot lately and it seems like things are settling down. Moby (TSN) just sits still when Merlin (GG) nudges him. Merlin quickly looses intrest and moves on. Since Moby has stopped reacting as much it seems like Merlin has been bothering him less. I've checked on them at 5am when I get up for work and everything is still dark a couple times and Moby is happily swimming around so I don't think Merlin is bothering him too much. Maybe they are getting used to each other....
