shuffling some fish deleting some tanks

Post by andywoolloo »

I was wondering what you all thought.

Do i have room to put 2 albino BNs in a 75 that has:

12 syno lucipinnis
1 syno angelica
12 sterbai cory
6 panda cory
1 L270

It's 78 degrees approx
sand botton , of course, you know me, runs a Rena Filstar XP4 and a Koralia powerhead.

or should I just leave them where they are? I have one in a ten gal with a betta and one alone in a ten that had a betta. Both ABNs are still juvenile, about 2.5 inches

I could put them both in a 20 long i guess, but I wanted to delete tanks not add more.

That seems like a lot of bottom feeders for a 75 but that's just my opinion. I have about 15 bottom fish in my 240 gallon and wouldn't go over 20.

Trade the two tens for one twenty with the 2 Ancistrus and the Betta, less tanks everyone is happy...then eventually you can switch them out with one of the groups of cories for awhile and raise some little cories.

i have so many tanks of varying sizes in the garage empty it's not even funny. :ymblushing: no worries on ever being short a QT tank.

I was thinking the 20 long thing also, thanks, will be doing that this weekend.
