Hi guys,
I bought a 17L tank from Petsathome a couple of months ago and ran a "fishless cycle". I bought 1 platy, 4 cardinal tetras, 1 yoyo loach and a frog but quickly realised the loach will grow way too big and that it was overcrowded (darn LFS!).
So I went out and purchased a 125 Fluval Roma which is nice. I am now running my cycled filter (Rena 40) alongside my Fluval U3. I moved all the fish from the 17 litre to the 125 litre tank and the fish are swimming around happily in there. They have been in the tank for approx. a week now. The loach seems completely fine on his own and doesn't hide much, although he does seem to chase the Tetras a bit (he doesn't try attack them I think he's just curious).
Here are the questions I have:
Do you think I need to get another couple of loaches, even though the single loach seems pretty happy? I was thinking of maybe adding another 2.
Will my tank hold another couple of loaches alongside a few more tropical fish?
Last question is... Do you think that after a week, my tank would be okay to add a couple of more loaches or tropical fish this weekend?
Thanks for your time.
