While I was away, I lost 2 fish from my 20 gal. , so I now have some room to play with in that tank.
It currently houses:
2 female mollies, 2 rosy reds, 1 female betta


I also have a little room to play with in my 55 gal.
It currently houses:
4 cories, 1 BR parrot, 2 blind cave tetras, 1 female betta, 7 zebra danios, 1 clown pleco

Any ideas for stocking these tanks?

I also have an empty 10 gal. - maybe bettas from MM? Someone convice me that the $$ is worth it. That shipping is making my mom freak out on me.

For the 55, I'd get some more of those tetras. For the 20, hmmm... maybe a rubberlip or bristlenose pleco?

agabr123

yes, yes, yes, yes!!!! most definitely absolutely worth it!!!

Amanda

They don't even know the other exists....lol
I was thinking on the pleco, but I would rather get multiple fish rather than one fish with a large bio-load. It's a possibility though.

Amanda

I just wish shipping wasn't so much!
I never really ever looked into how much it is before I started looking to buy more exotic bettas. From Thailand it's even more, right?

MaddieLynn

Maybe some neons for the 20? Or some sort of bottom feeder?

Amanda

I was looking for kuhlis....too bad no one carries them around me.
And my LFS that buys from local breeders says that the stock is horrible & dying easily at the moment. So I'm holding off on them.
I may look at neons or cardinals for the 20. I was thinking of them for the 55, except my parrot would try to eat them.

MaddieLynn

Have you tried Wal Mart? That's where I got my black kuhlis. Only $2.04 each!

Amanda

Wal-Mart is carrying fish covered in ICH, so I'm steering clear. They mostly sell live beareres & select tetras, common plecos, african cichlids (mixed), and oscars.

yeah believe me i know. with the ones from thailand, you pay the trans-shipper costs as well as the cost of shipping in the states, so it does end up being more

Amanda

*smacks forehead*
my friend is trying to give me ANOTHER betta he doesn't want anymore...
looks like I'm going to have to hold out for a while again, until I have room.
