Needing Stocking Help ASAP

the butterflies are in. they immediately went to hide in the floating plants. theyre a little pale, but the color is coming back quickly

Let us know how it works out!

 

[charles-n-charge]

the balas, tin foils, knife, jurupari, red tail, and pleco are currently in the 55, im giving them time to re-adjust before introducing the cichlids.

the ropes and gobies are in the 30 along with the irredesent shark, smaller pleco, and 3" goldfish that i forgot to mention lol

and the butterflies are in the 20 and seem happy.

the cichlids will be moved in after my lunch

 

[charles-n-charge]

just added the biggest cichlid for size compairing, its one of the yellows. the smallest fish in there is the jurupari and its double the size of the largest cichlid, so i think ill be just fine

 

[charles-n-charge]

ive decided that if one of the cichlids is bullying anyone (Mr.Blue), that ill put it in a baby basket and keep it in there

 

[charles-n-charge]

Mr.Blue isnt being too bad just yet. he just lost a little "debait" with the red tail shark and is currently hiding behind some plants. ill post a video of the tank later tonight, it looks great

sounds good so far, but i would definitely move the rope into the 200, it would be more than fine.

 

[charles-n-charge]

the ropes are actually very happy in the 30, so are the dragons. easy for them to eat and they swim all over the place now that they dont have to fear any midtank swimmers lol they ate a good shrimp dinner a few minutes ago and are all swimming on all levels of the tank

... They won't be for long. They'll feel cramped and get too big. Other than that you're golden.

 

[charles-n-charge]

idk. its not your typical 30 gal lol. its 3'x16"x1' (16" deep, foot tall) so they have plenty of room for awhile

once the pacus are out of the 200 and the ropes and dragons are all over 14" ill probably put them in there. unless i turn one of the 55's into a brackish tank
