My New Tank

[funky1]

Hi Guys,

My first ever picture of my New Tank, just started stocking.

4 Mountain minnows
4 X-Ray Tetra`s
1 Golden Loach

Any suggestions for other fish?

 

[Silly me]

I love that tank.. wow.. what size is it..?

 

[funky1]

It`s only 24 gallon, custom built and my pride and joy

that's a cool tank!!
sugestion for other fish: maby some neons?

 

[endilliteracy]

Maybe atleast 2 more minnows and 2 more tetras. I don't know what else...what types of fish do you like? I really like loaches and gouramis.

thats a cool looking tank, can we see some other angles?

the glass looks extremely thin for 24 gallons

 

[funky1]

I like loaches, I have a golden loach, but are they all this active. he never stops!

I love gouramies,chyclids, plecs and cory`s but don`t know whether i can mix with the one`s I have already? and how many more I can comfortbly keep in this size tank?

The glass is standard aquarium glass, quite thick really.

Another angle? maybe this one. Not quite good at the picture taking yet!

I am only in my first month, so need to add the fish gradually.

Any ideas on my next purchase?

I do like neon`s and cardinals, but had a bad experience with them once and lost the lot and it kinda put me off.

Had a pair of Oscars once, they grew enoumous. but then one died, and the other caused havoc and wrecked the tank, firing pebbles at the glass and all sort`s, had to sell him back to the aquatic centre, for a fraction of his worth, but he at least was happy.

quite an interesting tank you got there. how do you get to it to maintaint it, does the top of table come off?

the dimensions can make quite a difference of stocking levels....

although with your current stock your quite limited to what you can do .

 

[funky1]

The top is hinged, just lift it up and inside is a split glass lid, 1/3rd x 2/3rd, lift the little lid for feeding, lift the whole lot, for access Real easy to maintain, only problem it`s 24 inches deep, need long arm`s!

nice tall tank

you can get 1 pair of blue rams in there that will look nice along with maybe 6 harliquen rasboras then ya stocked!

HTH

Don't forget though, tall tanks have smaller surface area which means less gas transfer, less oxygen and ultimately, less fish.

P.T.
