My 26 gal Aquapod...

It is a bit high i do agree but they get along just fine.. and i do not plan on putting any more kids in the pool so to speak.. i have a tiger tail in there to help with detris and other wasted food.. along with other cuc. knock on wood i have been lucky with Problem algae growth..


Thanks again for the kind words..

 

How long have you had that many in the tank? Maybe I'm being a little too conservative when it comes to the stocking list for my 65 gallon.

 

Ok maybe this will clear up the water on my fish stocking.. the first post i did on my tank was back in 2009.. due to ill health or not surviving a tank move. Most if not all are no longer with me.. But this list below is what i have currently so i hope this helps.

Fish..
False percula
bi color blennie
purple fire fish
cleaner wrasse
lemon peel angel
green chromis.


Ok running out the door for work..

Best of luck and thanks again...

 

I feel like that puffer will be too big for any tank smaller than a 55g and how is the mandarin goby doing? Everyone I've spoken with suggests staying away from these unless you have a large enough tank that's been established ( like my wrasse, the goby will eat 1000's of pods a day) except my wrasse enjoys flake food, not sure about mandarin goby's!

 

Both the manderine and valentini puffer did not survive the move however both are perfect for a nano for they don't need lots of swim room. The maderine I was lucky and was eating flake and frozen foods along with live brine when I did offer them.

 

great to hear two beautiful fish passed away at your expense, isnt being human awesome? :-/

 

If your implying that I was practicing poor fish handling. Your wrong I have moved many tanks and there's always a loss of some sort. Due to stress and or stirred up nitrite and nitrate and ammonia levels. And yes I was very upset for loosing these fish, and thank you for your lack of kind words on my loss...



Like Always Best of Luck....

 

And I'm sure you have never lost a fish right?

the only fish i've lost due to my own negligence is a 29g lake tanganyika cichlid tank because a bed post was leaning on the wall, fell and crashed the side of the tank, and actually i didnt lose any fish, my LFS took them in and sold them.
or maybe the koi i keep in my backyard due to snakes and ratcoons. but as far as being ignorant towards housing an animal, i've always been very responsible and do not overstock, i mean this guy had 6 fish in a 24g tank, there is no way that is fair to the fish.. lol go ahead and say im wrong, id love to hear it

 

I guess you still haven't noticed that the issue wasn't over stocked at all when I lost my fish. It was when I moved from a rental house to th house I bought that unfortunately caused the stress that lost the fish. So do me a solid if you think your better than others on this cite let's see your tank.?
