This thread refers to my last thread titled: What Needs To Go And What Can Stay?
Alright so I know the rehome part goes first, but I dont know where to go from there. I'm thinking of getting my 55 and a newfound 75 set up before any action is taken.
I now have a 75 for the green terror I was going to put into the 55! now I have an empty 55 that I haven't even set up yet.
stock list after rehome:
1G:
Empty
1G:
1 Male Guppy (kinda fry)
1 Mystery Snail
2.5G:
Male Veiltail Betta
2.5G:
Male Betta, he's definitely not a she as I thought, grew the ventrals nice and big almost overnight! not a veiltail though.
10G:
1 Female Guppy
1 Female Balloon Molly
20G Long:
1 Paradise Fish
3 Zebra/Leopard Danio
4 Albino/Brown Bristlenose Pleco
1 Male Guppy
NOT ACQUIRED:
29G:
Empty
55G:
Empty
75G:
Empty
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have 3 things left: Moving, Buying, and Upgrading.
The "upgrading" is just me buying the 29 (20 long if the budget doesn't allow) for my paradise and the zebras.
I will definitely have the bigger tanks set up and ready for fish, the 55 will house my paradise and the danios, after that I can really start a lot of moving.
after moving, which I feel is better, the stock will look like this:
1G:
Empty, will be put up for sale.
1G:
Empty, will be put up for sale.
2.5G:
Empty, will be put up for sale.
2.5G:
Empty, will be put up for sale.
10G:
1 Female Guppy
2 Male Guppies
1 Male Betta, the fake female.
20G Long:
Male Veiltail Betta
2 Albino/Brown Bristlenose Pleco
29G:
Empty, not yet acquired.
55G:
1 Paradise Fish
3 Zebra/Leopard Danio
1 Albino Bristlenose Male
1 Brown Bristlenose Female
1 Female Balloon Molly
75G:
1 Mystery Snail to keep it free of algae while there's no-one else in there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the move part, what should go next? Should I buy or upgrade? upgrade being getting a 29G kit for the paradise and his buds. I will have like $50 from selling the 1s and the 2.5s. I can find a 29 with essentials for $30 on facebook market place and sites like that.
The buy involves buying 3 female guppies, a green terror, and 8 kuhli loaches, possibly 3 pictus cats, a clown pleco, more danios, some schooling fish that can live with a green terror in a 75, and maybe some shrimp too.
Which one would be smarter? I obviously know about how I can mess up the chemicals by adding too many fish at once, I will add 2-4 fish once every week for every tank that needs fish.
If no fish die, all decisions are final in the case where I don't feel the suggestions I get are better than my current ones.
Here's the planned stocking list after I finish with both buy and upgrade:
10G:
4 Female Guppies
2 Male Guppies
1 Male Betta, the fake female.
20G Long:
1 Male Veiltail Betta
8 Kuhli Loaches
1 Clown Pleco
Unspecified Shrimp and Snails
29G:
1 Paradise Fish
~10 Zebra/Leopard Danio
1 Female Balloon Molly
1 Brown Bristlenose Pleco Male
55G:
1 Albino Bristlenose Male
1 Brown Bristlenose Female
1 Albino Bristlenose Female
75G:
1 Green Terror Cichlid
3 Pictus Catfish
Not specified, but a schooling fish, or at least a crew of speedy fish.
Mystery Snail wherever he goes...
I can't unbold for some weird reason.
Well, that's the end. I might move a bn pair into the 75, need to see requirements and compatibility with the terror. I can always get another thank if I have too many plecs. possibly a 20 long and nothing more, I'll actually owe money once I'm done.
actual questions and help I need:
What's a good other fish (preferably schooling/shoaling) that can go with the fish that are supposed to be in the 75?
Can a Bristlenose or two go into the 75 with the stock mentioned?
Is my Idea okay?
What are some stocking options for the 55? I like personable fish that can be identified individually, other than cory cat schools, I don't like schooling fish. oh and also big fish!
Anything you think I missed? Please tell me, and as always, Thank You in advance!
