My Rookie Error

[cj1980]

A few months ago I aquired my tank from my uncle, who was moving home. With the tank came a Siamese Fighter with two females and some neon tetras.

Since then I have been adding slowly to the tank, rummynose and glolight tetras, albino cory's and a chinese algae eater. Having since joined this forum, and seeing the algae eater grow, I've realised I was mis-advised in the fish store regarding the algae eater, it has grown very quickly and likes to go after the female siamese fighters. (Though I do think I'm lucky as it's ok with the smaller fish)

Basically, does anyone have any advice on another fish I could put in the tank to put it in it's place so to speak? I have previously been advised that a Koi Angelfish will be ok? Any advice greatly appreciated.

It'd be fairly important to know what size tank we're looking at here?

3.5ft, not sure of the width depth dimensions off the top of my head

Need to know the size of the whole tank not just the length before ppl can help.

Ok guys, my tank is 3.5ft x 1.5 x 2.

Anyone got any recommendations for me?

not much ya can do except look to rehome him.


either at an LFS or before you do that, see if anyone will take him in the buy and sell section of the forum.

I'd rehome the algae eater, and get one of the plecos under 8inches in the link below.
