Over-Stocked?

Hey Storm.

Its not over-stocked if its a big tank, but is over-stocked if its a small one In other words, what size is the tank?

Its a 3 and a half foot width tank.

Thats what like a 29 gallon? over stocking aside the mollys would prefer slightly salty water, the plec may get massive depending on breed and the loach will eventualy need a much much bigger tank as well as the fact that he/she would prefer some friends.

Ive always kept 1 loach, however i think the tank is bigger than 29g. Once the loachs get to a fair size, my lfs swaps them for a smaller one. . The mollies are doing fine without salt, its the longest ive ever kept mollies they must be nearly a year old.

hello

Mollies and salt I know nothing about as they are probably my least favorite fish

Most 3ft tanks range between 29-35 gallons depending on the other dimensions. Personally, Clowns shouldn't be kept singularly as they are very socialable shoaling fish, and do need a good swimming area. I would see about rehoming?

With the Clown gone, I think the stocking level isn't too bad. I'd maybe look at something like one of the Botia loaches? The Polkadot ones are nice:)

Ok Andy i will lok into that, my lfs should swap them over no bother lmao.

OMG how can you not like the molly lol.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] the same way i dont really like Swortails, Platties, Neons and Guppies.

in my particular area mollys dont agree with the local water supply and die pretty quite without massive intervention and constant salt use. that and the fact that the first mollys I had where huge bullys makes me dislike them.

I like plattys alright. tims work is having livebearers for a dollar so I will get a few new ones cause my big tank has a grand total of 8 fish in it. I had been keeping the stocking super low because I wanted to raise some bettas for it, but I need a new male, mcgyver wants nothign to do with baby making anymore.

what type of plec is it if its a common it will get well to big for the tank. like van said the clown loach will have to go. the tiger berbs will need to go aswell they need to be kept in groups of atleast 6 or they will be extreamly agressive and it to they will start nipping other fish and i think the tank is a little to small for them. you need to have atleast 3 female bettas aswell. how many lph is your filter because you do have alot of tetras?
most of the mollys you get in shops now dont actually need salt and adding salt to the tank makes no diffrence to them. they used to be brackish but they have been breed in freshwater for so long that all the once you get in shops are perfectly adapted to it and dont actually need the salt.

Thanks for the info guys, i have taken your comments on board and im sure the LFS will take some off my hands.

Thanks

Storm

Better idea..........Just keep the Tiger barbs as i love them

The tiger barbs where a pressi from my sister, she went into buy a hamster cage and seen the 2 fellows by themselves and she bought them lol.

Thats it then........everything must go and you should have a dozen Tigers [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

LOL i love tiger barbs there so enagetic.

if you do keep the tiger barbs then you need to get atleast 4 more but you might have to get rid of some fish to get them. do you know what plac it is?

Commen plec. They have not not attacked anything as yet and ive had them for nearly 2 months.

its not about them attacking other fish its just tyhey should grow 1 foot + and they grow and poo like crazy that really needs to go as soon as you can. how many lph is your filter?
