They all have some personality except for the cb endli and new sp candy but shes still settling in. Congi's, koloton and teug are probably the most active sp delware is always out infornt. Ansorgii is kind of a lazy fish doesnt do much but doesnt hide either.

Yeah no way that congi goes anywhere. I'd get rid of sp.delaware before her
Last night after reading this thread over i sat infront of the tank for awhile and i can definitly say the ones that absolutly wont go are
Both congicus... i love them totally easy going fish and always out....plus congi are my favirote poly. Ghost congi is going through some growth spurt and gaining size..both were sort of small under 12 inches so...
Faranah endli, daughter loves her and i have history with her was purchased small and almost died on me.
Ornate, my sons favirote poly which is why ive put up with his b.s all this time and hes my oldest poly was earth worm sized when we got him.
Koloton, active always out doesnt bother anyone and is just real cool looking poly
PBB just a cool fish
Sp. Candy/faranah so far she easy breazy and the most unique looming poly i've ever owned.
Teug i like thw little guys activity and potential to grow onto a monster size.
That leaves
Cb endli - probably the easiest to sneak out of the house since its so inactive no one would notice
Faranah lap, and ansorgii are cool dont bother anyone.
Sp.delaware cool fish but would get me a nice penny to out towards some other things i want to get into. And i didnt raise her.

well then sounds like you've made up your mind. sp Delaware for the green and if you are looking to get into something else wouldn't the faranah lap or ansorgii get you more cash then the endli too? at least here it would ive never seen either in a store, endli yes.
Over all though do you believe you are overstocked? that they are or will be cramped and removing 2 will fix that? I ask this because to me as long as there is no aggression from crowding, and everyone is happy and healthy its no easier to take care of 2 less. I'm not trying to be harsh.....I just reread what I typed and thought wow that sounds like I'm being a jerk, not intentions just wondering why? J jaws7777 you've been super cool to me since ive come here without that and

Not being rude at all bro. All valid questions and kind of why i started the thread.
Overstocked yes. But thats a relative term. Two more would really be total of 4 smaller pbb is sold and i gave dmc the bv so two more would get me down to 10. I believe it will help but being that they are all growing it may just buy me time. Water quality can be a touchy thing and everyone has different views on what they are willing to accept. I need to do 2 more than fin level wcs per week (drain sump down too) to be where i want to be. I love my polys and wouldnt considering moving away from them but for my needs i kind of think i over extended myself. Everything was cute when they were less than 12 inches but now most are 15 and over besides 2 or 3 of the smaller guys and im not enjoying the hobby much. Too many tanks
kewpiefishypewpie
i feel ya bro. Lots of people talk about the successes they have in the hobby but never mention their failures or short comings...im not one of them lolSo that being said sure once the 10 (if i do rehome 2 more) get full grown i'll probably be back in the same boat but who knows what the future brings....i do know that there are 6 or 7 of them that will always be with me i just need to figure out how to give them the level of care that im satisfied with.
Well said!
I hear you on the part of not enjoying the hobby at a point when it gets to be too much. That's why I don't have salt anymore.
Sound like you've got a plan and know why there is a plan. Like

I joke about if there is water in the tank then there is room but when I have a hard time doing maintenance or no longer want to do the required maintenance ill do the same thing.

Well we can scratch sp.delaware off the list. I asked my son, he calls her godzilla.
See we maybe be able to uograde the 150 in the near future and me and the boy have been catfish shopping. Said "hey if we sell godzilla we can get all the catfish we've been looking at" (only 2 or 3 and a group of smaller ones) he looked me dead in the eye and " dad thats not happening" lmaoooo
