I Love My Fish

[grimmy]

my favorite my pink tiger barb followed by a albino angle fish

isn't your tank only 15 gallons though?

That's a little on the small side for an angelfish i believe

Edit: In fact i was looking back at your other posts, and am i right in assuming that you have 2 angels? If that is the case 15 gallon is too small

 

[grimmy]

ya i got rid of one

 

[Dark Wolf]

Ah ok then. What other fish do you have in the tank?

I'm not 100% certain, but i've seen a few times on this board, that 20 gallons is more suitable to an angel. So as i say 15 gallons is slightly small

 

[grimmy]

ya it is but when i move out im goin to get a big 75 gal for oscars and up grade to a 20longi got 3 tiger barbs 1 angle 2 mollises 1 pleco 1 kissing gorumi when i move in get a 20long which is 30x12x12i hope that oki hope thats ok the fish seem healthy

Angel fish prefer tall tanks because of their larger body height. 20 gallons is still too small in my opinion because angel fish actually get quite large.

Oh, and pink kissing gouramis can reach a foot in length, and if that's a common pleco it can reach over 18 inches...

 

[Dark Wolf]

Hmmm, that seems like quite a lot. How quickly are you upgrading your tank.

I'm pretty certain kissing gourami's can get quite big.

Also what type of plec is it? If it is a common they grow to be beasts? and if it is a common your tank is definitely too small, and would need to be upgraded ASAP.

Not trying to get on at you, just trying to help

Edit: Aphotic Pheonix beat me to it = )

 

[grimmy]

ok sry i forgot im gettin rid of the 2 mollies and gorumiand get qwarf gorumis

 

[Dark Wolf]

If you can post a pic, or even describe what your plec looks like, someone can probably identify it for you.

Yep, kissing gourami can get to about 12 inches so will need a lot of space just for the kisser. I've got kissers and am looking at 6ft and 8ft tanks to house them long term (120 - 190gal)

it has spots and only about 2 in half inches

 

[indigoj]

Grimmy,

LOTS of plecs have spots and start out at 2.5 inches! My Gibbiceps has spots and was about 1.5 inches when I got him. He will grow to about 2ft, he is about 3.5 inches already... Common Plecs have spots and reach 18 inches....

It's only 2 1/2 inches now, but that doesn't indicate what size it can grow to. Most fish start off small, and are sold that way for several reasons, but do eventually get quite big. For example, red bellied pacu are sold at the size of about an inch/two inches, but can grow to over 2 feet.

the guy said it was kinda dwarf that just develope

never listen to lfs's they dont usually give correct advice. You really are going to need a) a bigger tank B) to rehome some of them in the end
