Okay, so I called my father earlier today & told him he really needs to return the Comets or move them to the pond pronto! I also told him to move the Pictus & the Bristlenose to the 29 gallon, after his levels check out & he adds a few plants & a big piece of driftwood. I think I have a big chunk of wood that'll work for him as is. It's been soaking in a bucket in my garage for a couple of months...............
I explained to him that he should slowly increase the numbers of each Tetra until there's at least 6 of each. That would make his eventual 29 gallon stock look as follows:
(6) Black Phantom Tetra
(6) Black Skirt Tetra
(6) Serpae Tetra
(6) Various Corys
(1) Pictus Catfish
(1) Albino Bristlenose Pleco
His 10 gallon would have:
(4) Albino Longfin Zebra Danios
(5) Glowlight Tetras
(1) Mystery Snail (I'll get him one as a gift to keep things clean)
