Upgraded to a 90 Gallon Aquarium!

I have upgraded to a 90 Gallon and holding strong with it.

Here is what I have so far:

3 Gourami
3 Zebra Botia
3 Red Chromide
3 Kribs
1 Angel
4 Serpae Tetra
3 Blue Rams
2 Dalmatian Molly
7 Baby Molly
1 Clown Loach
3 Guppies
1 YoYo Loach
1 Leopard Pleco
3 Silver Dollars
3 Platy
Dozen or so Cory
10 Neon Tetra
6 Bolivian Rams
Leopard Pleco

I have a Magnum 350 Pro, Tetra Whisper 70EX and AquaTech 60 filtering it.

I know it may seem like a bit much for my tank but it doesn't look anywhere near crowded. I plan on getting some more Cichlids (Jewels) to help with the baby population.

 

Pretty neat tank. Sorry if you don't want criticism but I think you need to up your schools and have less species. Too many incomplete schools and the clown loaches and silver dollars will need a much bigger tank in the future.

 

For sure. I am looking at bigger tanks but I have no idea what size my second floor will be able to hold. I was looking at a 150

 

I'm with Jonathan with this. Maybe you could take some of the live bearers, some of the rams as 9 is a lot. Move the clown loach and sd's And up some schools.

Other than that nice setup!!!!

 

Nice looking tank. A bit busy for my taste but it looks really good. I like the sparse planting in it and the color of the rocks contrast really well with your substrate.


A few suggestions you may want to consider -

In your first post you mentioned you wanted to get some Jeweled Cichlids. I would strongly suggest against that. They would upset the very delicate balance in your tank. They are extremely aggressive especially with so many other fish in the tank.

Also you Kribs look pretty stressed. I would suggest adding some tunnels (you can make some out of PVC pipe) and terracotta pots. One of your rams has a small white spot on it's caudal fin that I saw. I couldn't tell what it was though.

Also I saw some small yellow fish. The camera didn't focus on them long enough for me to determine what they were but they looked a lot like Yellow Labs. What are those little fish?

And I agree with what was posted above. You want to lessen the variety of your fish and fill in the schools. Personally I think you would prefer your tank without Clown Loaches because they will take up a large part of your bioload. The Silver Dollars are the same way and they'll eat your plants. Silver Dollars eating your plants could be dangerous because it looks like you have hornwort in your tank which is poisonous.

 

Looks awesome I wish I could get a large tank like that but those silver dollars will not be good for a lot of those small fish and end up eating them.

 

Congrats on the new tank! You have some beautiful fish!

Best wishes!

The little yellow are Orange/Red Chromide. The white spot on the fin was debris from me cleaning the tank. I managed to get it off of him. I also looked at the others very closely and couldn't see any fungus.

In the middle of the tank with the rocks I have formed several tunnels with the rocks and a middle resting place.

I found a 240 Gallon and well as a 140 Gallon. Not exactly sure which one to go for first. The Silver Dollars will be going to PETCO's show tank when they get bigger.

Thank you for all the suggestions

 

I would go for the 240 if you don't mind a higher price

 

The 240 is actually what I really want. Not sure about having it on the second floor though. Pretty sure if I re arrange some stuff in my room and take stuff out then it should be all good.

 

this is going to sound stupid and I mean really stupid but a buddy of mine wanted to know if his second floor could support a 125 gallon tank well he marked an area of his floor where the tank would go and in that area with some help put 1000 pounds in weights and sandbags and left it there overnight now aside from filling about 20 sandbags and finding enough people that were willing to lend him some weights it was a good idea but you could call a carpenter and see if he could take a look I called my uncle and all he needed was the blueprints to my house and than he just drilled a small hole in the floor so idk if this helps
