    Re: Aquarium Fish!

    Nothing at the moment, but I have had a few different setups with a few dozen different species, from live-bearers to goldfish to tetras to labyrinth fish etc.. Nothing to brag about, really, just the most common species.

    edit: I don't even remember half the names anymore in any language, I effectively stopped keeping fish 10 years ago, if you don't count the guppies.

    I'm hoping to set up a fairly large aquarium exclusively with domestic species, some day. I used to have one, but it was much too small for that purpose. Didn't have any problems with it, though.

    I love bettas and goldfish, but right now I just have one fan tail goldfish (Jeffy), a small group of guppies who are feeders (well, their offspring are) and a tank for the feeder minnows. Jeffy has a yellow mystery snail as a tank mate.

    I try to buy the minnows one to two weeks ahead and feed them really well (and now, treat them for parasites). I get them up to three meals a day by the third day and just let them eat themselves silly. I do have to do weekly water changes in that tank.

    I've had some wonderful bettas and want another, but need to wait until I know I have time for one more tank. I really admire salt water tanks but have never had the energy to try one!

    Re: Aquarium Fish!

    I have one S.E. Asian tank with three tiger barbs, four harlequin rasboras, three cherry barbs, a dwarf loach and a clown pleco (yeh, I know he's not Asian, but they're just too good at keeping the algae down to not have one ). I also have a Cory. catfish tank with a pair of albino Aeneus corys, four C.shwartzi and one Orange Laser C.aenus (I've had a really bad time keeping them alive....I've gone through 6 of them and only the same one survives!!!!), also there are some White clouds that I used to condition the tank and three Otocinclus to keep the algea down. The cory tank is also completely planted with live plants, it is totally Anubias nana that's been growing for almost 20yrs. now and a new Anubias barteri that I just added about a year ago. The barb tank is only a 20H and the cory tank is a 40 breeder.

    Re: Aquarium Fish!

    the 33G long is all I got left and with the moving past summer I lost a few fish
    yeah, I'm pretty sure the botia kubotai is gone
    what's left now is one clown loach, one geto loach, one kuhli loach, four pristella tetras and two or three otos
    time to restock
    I'm thinking more kuhli loaches, some cory cats, some odessa barbs, perhaps some leporinus, more otos
    I guess I'd do something about the remaining tetras before adding the barbs

    Perhaps you should get another clown?
    I will have to advise against the norm here:
    Clown loaches do get big. But, it can take them years to get there. My biggest clown is 4 years old and only just pushing 5 inches. They take a while to mature, and you will have plenty of time to save up etc for a new tank. My best advice on this is to start a "Clown Loach Account" in a piggy bank and throw your daily change in there til it maxes out and you can buy a new tank.

    Mollies, Swordtails, Bettas, and Angle Fish in tanks inside our home. One tank of minnows and one of Rosies in the reptile room.
