My Tank Set Up

[pinkdolphin_113]

moving from a 13 gallon to a 125 gallon tank is quite a large step to take my friend...and as already stated, oscars grow to quite a large size and they DO need the space.
i admit they're lovely looking fish, but a 125 gallon tank with 2 oscars and a pleco can look a little boring. the problem with oscars is they need to really be with fish bigger than them...and they can sometimes act like geophagus and tear things (like plants) up lol
i think it'd be better to stay with smaller fish for now, and work your way up towards bigger fish.

you said that the molly tried stole the algae wafer from the plecostomus lol thats because mollies are good algae eaters.

you will be pushed and pushed to rehome your plecostomus, which in fairness is a good idea unless you genuinely intend to give it adequate space. bae1994 stated the pleco will grow to 2 feet...this isnt going to happen unless its in a huge pond with natural conditions. aquaria common pleco's rarely go past the 1.5 feet size.

personally, i'd go with my first bit of advice. there is plenty of potential in a 55 gallon tank.
its easier to fill up with decor and to make it look good. but its your tank(s)

Quick update.

Im going to do a Sea wreck Theme


Im going to have

Some type of swaying plant... if you know what i mean above the tank.. ( the plant will kinda be crushed by a rock if i can get hold of one xD

And a brickly plant ( i forgot what it is but some-oneo n the forums is selling it for a reasonable price )



quick question..


If i add items now will it stress the fish?

gotta disagree as we had a 6 foot tank and we had a common from small and he got to 20 inches long and when he died we had another from small and he got to 20 inches so

Biggest tank i can get will be 3-4 ft.

Will rehome he plec soon ( he's keeting his scales ripped on the basic plant on the cave)

will throw that out after and re-do the tank.
