Frank, I am thinking the Pearsei is the largest bio load contributor but I also know it is a favorite and staying.

Since you have already rehoused a few fish I would stop and monitor the tank for a few weeks before making anymore tough decisions. Watch your nitrates and see if their manageable with your desired feeding and maintanance schedule. If not then move the other jag Hold on to that PBB

I wish I could really help help you with this but I don't know how to get that Faranah up to western Canada

I'm with you on this.

J jaws7777 I think your current stock should be fine for that tank especially with a few of them still not being fully grown. I think you'll be pretty happy with the change you see in water quality.

J jaws7777 , we are not that different on stock and tank size but you do have the advantage of the extra gallons of water due to the sump.
My stock is a full grown Pearsei and Het along with six polys. The maintenance has been pretty easy with this stock but I miss upper movement and would consider adding just one more fish. Possible a wc Oscar (another Bumblebee?) and then possibly rehoming one poly. I feel like your stock is not real bad but you still have a lot of potential growth ahead with your fish so maybe rehome yet a few more? A congi? Jaguar cat?

I dont think the Jag would contribute enough to the bioload to make a difference really.
I think a congi would be the last on Franks list to get rid of but he does have two so... im not sure.

Never a congi ! But yeah im gonna see how it goes. The easiest for me would be the additional jag and pbb. I know they are harder to get but i still feel koloton are nicer than pbb's.

I think i would have the same thought process, and at this point in the hobby though they can be expensive jag cats and pbb aren't too hard to come by.

If I offered you my Pearsei then you would know... otherwise its me.

Hahaha

Some pics of them today took a couple of vids but havent uploaded them. Almost all of them are nicked up but nothing major. Pbb and candy bar seem the most stress.

My daughter wanted to hold her princess tiana (endli) then just grabbed everyone that i moved. It reminded me whu im in the hobby in the 1st place
I love it that the kids take such an interest in the hobby

Stunning pics man, I never realized how good those plastic plants look in your tank. I've never been a fan but they look nice. They all seem to be settling back in pretty well.
