Old Boring Topic But I Need An Answer .

Hi as anyone has read my other posts I still do not know what to add or how to re-organise my tanks for the best.
After buying such a large tank hubby will be reluctant to spend to much for me to say it's too small again.
I will be taking the fish back later but as Clown loaches grown one-two cms. a yearr I'll have then at least another four years as they are still not 4 inches as yet.

So please if anyone can let me look at Basil zoo forum I have looked and searched but does not come up with an answer I will be pleased.

T7 Neon Tetras = 35
2 male guppies/ Endlers = 08/
1 female guppie = 04
2 Golden Tetras = 20
2 Platys = 12
=total of 79cm of fish
Here I need to add more female guppies at least 4 = 16.
I am then snookered if they reproduce.


In Tank two there will be in 400litres aprox 90 gallons

2 Bala Sharks =70 These will need more as they swim fast however they will go back once too big lfs say they will have them.
2 Clown Loaches =30
2 Gouramies =10
1 Gibbicepts Red =35 also this will return if it gets too big.

1 Golden gouramie =10
= Total of 145cm of fish hanks

For the pics from Basle zoo, look in Tropical Chitchat, 23 November 2005. This is not to say your clown loaches will grow this size in the immediate future; just to give an idea of the sort of fish they are, and what we should be aiming at.

For your tank 1, I think I have suggested elsewhere that you simply rehome the female. Or do as you said, and hope the fry get eaten. Don't provide too much cover in the shape of plants and you may be alright.

For tank 2, if you do have the opportunity to rehome the bala sharks once they get too big, then that should be allright IMO; however, remember that they will need more space long before the tank starts looking crowded given the sort of nervous swift fish they are. The clown loaches should be allright in a 90 gal, as far as I know.
