Hi all...I know this is an old post...but rather than start a new one. To refresh, I have (1) 10 gallon & (2) 29 gallons tanks. My goldies' tank have 3 ottos in with them. Neither of the other 2 have any since I haven't been able to purchase them for an extremely long time. Well, I asked about them a couple of weeks ago and they finally got some in. Here is my problem. I wanted to have at least 4 in each of the 29 gallons and 2 in my 10 gallon....sound reasonable??? Found an old post here plus searching the net and the general consensus seems to be 1/5 gallon???? Anyway, in order to get these guys I had to buy the 6 tonight. They are all in my 10 gallon with the 3 cory's. I added an airstone. But what is the minimum I can keep them all in the small tank???? Plus any other suggestions please Oh by the way, I almost had a heart attack when I went to add more tank water to the bag, one of the ottos was right out of the water Three died Caper

Sorry about the loss of YOUR lid...oh shoot, no that's not it...sorry about the TANK'S lid...oh no, that's not it either...oh yah SORRY ABOUT YOUR FOOT! Gives me the shivers just thinking about it, now make sure you keep us updated as to how the healing is going which all goes well I hope! Caper

Thanks Caryl and Mystic Caper

When you say bloated, do you mean as in the pinecone effect, scales sticking out??? Could you post a pic? Caper

Thanks nemines! I am going to keep on eye on it just in case. Going to ad an airstone or bubble wall too. If it wasn't filtering properly, I would be having lots of problems don't you think...well at the very least unclear water??? Caper

But, alan, the glass of the bulb is actually blue colored, almost a dark blue. Now obviously I know nothing about this stuff :-? , but would it take more watts for light to go through a darker shade of bulb as opposed to a clear one? So, do you think this would be the case for my blue light...providing the same amount of heat? Thanks, Caper

BEAUTIFUL! As usual, someone here to the rescue...that is one of the great things about this place, way to go cichlid 7! Caper

Nice pics It has been awhile since I've had guppies but gee, I find yours look really long...but maybe its the large, gorgeous tail fins they have! Caper

Loopy, that is hilarious :lol: :lol: She sure is a beauty! I thought the giant gouramis were HUGE to the point that mostly seen in zoo type aquariums, if you know what I mean :-? Caper

If you have a pond in your yard for frogs, will the frogs stay there??? Caper

Ah, :oops: do you folks have crocs in New Zealand? Caper

mankeycow...I hope you know I was only joking :lol: :lol: This reminds me of the time there was a parent's session at our high school, and the gentleman that was conducting it was saying about all the things we tell our kids...such as...Oh, I'm going to kill you; touch that again and I'll cut your fingers off; you are NEVER going out again, etc. It was so funny as we all sat there saying "oh, I've said that!" :lol: :lol: Caper

something wrong...can't see your pics! Caper

YUCKKKKKKK Hi Mystic, how you doing Caper

:lol: :lol: :lol: There was a time when I only recognized goldfish, used to think black moors were guppies, so now when I recognize something I think wow I know/knew that...tell's you how exciting my life is eh :oops: :lol: :lol: Caper

Oh that is great news! You'll just have to go visit "your" fishy when you can 8) Maybe they heard about the move and they didn't like the idea Caper

Thanks Mark That IS funny :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm still a long way off from setting up my 55 gallon so still debating on cichlids or not. Read in one spot that they weren't considered to be really aggressive fish, although I know each fish can be different. The ones they sell here, well they are calling them red zebras, but it's Wal-Mart so who knows, they are definetely more orange than red! Caper

smidey, sorry about your fishy hope he gets better real soon. I don't have clown loaches, as a matter of fact they have only recently started bring them in...anyway, how do you know it's interal parasites? Caper

Gee Stella, sorry about all the trouble you're having. Hopefully it will all sort itself out real soon. DO NOT BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF, I've read many posts by you and you are a very caring fish keeper! Caper

Kelsta...keep us updated! Hope all turns out well for the fishies. Caper

One of my sister's loves when she comes down this way because of all the suds when she showers...that's how I always remember that the water here is soft! Caper
