Here you go:

It says search: "the web" or "pages from south africa" just clicked on the SA option. Try different keywords to perfect your search.

5 khuli loaches
6 pygmy cories
Upside catfish get quite large and need to be in schools so you would need to purchase at a later date or cut out a few of the other schooling fish. You can possibly add them in 2-3 months once the filtration is mature.
10 Boraras Brigittae are my favourite rasbora and very small
10 marbled hatchetfish

yah i wud take out those goldfish they are coldwater fish and the tropical temperature of the water will speed up their metabolism causing them to produce even more waste, creating a large amount of ammonia.

There is an edit button.

Its not cruel it keeps her on her toes for any eventuality occurring at any time, one time I was round her house for a little while after picking up some horned nerites from a friend to put in my tank temporarily, completely forgot they were in my car when I went round hers and I had put them in one of the cup holders just loose as we couldn't find a container and I was meant to be going straight home. She got in the car and when she sat down screamed as something had stabbed her in the back, turned out a couple of them had gone walkies onto her chair fortunately they were fine. I never said I was a perfect boyfriend but atleast I am goos arm candy.

Extend the pond is the only option if you want to keep them. Shubukins get upto 14-16" if cared for properly, poor housing mainly shortens their life due to inadeuate filtration and too small water quantity to keep diseases and harmful chemicals at bay. That isn't large enough for even a single shubukin as they should have 30 gallons minimum strictly but its your choice how to house your pet, my ponds are technically overstocked due to goldfish babies being very difficult to catch until they fully colour up, not to mention being faster then a rocket into the impenetrable lilly roots. Guppies, white cloud mountain minnows or paradise fish would love that pond over late spring to mid autumn and could be moved back indoors over winter months. Shrimp such as red cherries could also be kept in the pond and may survive winter in there but would thrive and breed rapidly in the summer months.

ok thanks for the help i cant extend the pond its a specialy desined plastic pond(my mom bought it) il try take them to a pet shop that will excange for ather more sutable fish il keep my pond for frogs that are found wild here il try get shrimp but SA does not have the widest wariety of aquatics centers.

and i once put my pet rat in my sisters friends bed when she was sleeping so i am as bad

hahaha i just convinced my sister who is twoyears older than me (16) that my femail dwarf gorami can eat her isayed itwas a breed of parhana...

[xx-miss-limber-xx]

Your planned stocking may breed but almost certainly they will be eaten perhaps with very goood planting 2-4 will survive from each brood with some luck.

 

[scoliofish]

kwl thanks for all the replies people,
and the only reason tricking my sister worked was because it ate my apple snail(a bit) and i dont usualy trick her(i cant say the same for her friends )

How about getting a couple more gouramis and then having some loaches, corys etc to clean up and then just having a big shoal of some rasbora like harlequins or a big shoal of cardinals or similar tetras - it would look really nice to see them all moving together as a group
