Hi all,
I am very new to keeping tropical fish, but already it is turning into an addiction rather than a hobbie. i have great help avalible to me as my grandad has bread and kept all sort of fish all his life and also have avery good relationship with my ocal fish shop worker who has all sorts of knowledge.
i am learning fast and have had to learn very quickly from rookie mistakes. just want some feedback on what you ball fink of my set up.
i have a juwel rio 25 with and added air stone that has now been running for 6 months.
my first addition was 5 head and tail light teras what are sill going strong, followed by 5 cardinal tetra. i then added 2 clown plecos and then 2 red tailed sharks where the problems began. one of the sharks were quickly killed in a fight for territory then my cardinal populaulation soon started to suffer. howeveri still kept it i kept re stocking the tank with some rather expensive fish at time such as ghost knife, 2 electric blue rams but the shark continued to savage them so it was time to go and he was taken back to the fish shop and the tank very quickly calmed.
it now holds
5 head and tail light tetras
2 denisoni barbs (torpedo barbs) very fun to watch.
2 clown plecos
10 Cardinal tetras
5 king blue tetras
5 penquin tetras
5 rummy nose tetras
1 ghost knife
5 haliquins
i have resently added 3 yo yo botias after an outbreak of cone snail conleny wat was very quickly growing.
