Hi, everybody,
I just started my tank about 2-1/2 months ago. It's a 55 gal with live plants and these:
1 cory catfish
2 peppered corydoras
5 serpae tetras
5 tiger barbs 3 F 2 M
3 dwarf gouramis (1 female, 2 male)
4 mollies (2 male, 2 female)
5 orange Von Rio tetras
2 (?) plecos (one's been missing for 2 weeks)
I have another 10 gal with:
4 male guppies
1 Chinese algae eater
female fiddler crab
The smaller tank has been perfect. The 55 gal will NOT clear up. I just installed another filter and that doesn't seem to be helping. I do 10 gal water changes every two weeks. The fish all seem to be happy and healthy and most get along well. Could the problem be in the rocks that I have in the tank?
Also, could my missing pleco still be alive somewhere?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
