howdy!

Post by uglygoat »

n00b here! looks like a great forum! i used to raise tanks full of guppies that reproduced faster than they could eat the young... that was twenty years ago.

my kid recieved from her uncle a small tank this xmass with an african dwarf frog in it. it is tiny, 2.5 gallons. it also had a spotted raphael catfish.

i need to move the catfish out of the tank rather soon... i have been doing water changes once a week and the tank has a small filter, but i don't know jack about what the chemistry is like. the frog is fine in the tank alone, but the fish will get too big and i don't think he likes the cramped space.

i'm looking to get another tank up and running for the cat fish. i'm thinking twenty to twenty-nine gallons.

i'm looking for advice on what sorta substrate and plants to put in there, and what to feed the buggers.

ideally i'd like a to keep a raphael or two in there and and a pleco or two as well.. looking for advice on setting up a good habitat for them.
