Experiment in my Tropical Fish Tank.

[Rumble88]

Be carefull with them, we had an angel fish and my dad said ''lets get him some friends!''. Worst idea ever. He bought 3 golden fish and they started to eat him from the tail (it was too late when i realised). It would jump out of its tank to survive (yeah, the irony) but everytime we put it back there. And two of the golden fishes eat the other one too. When I found it; half of its body wasn't there and his head was stuck to the water cleaning device. It was so scary; it was like a ghost, all white! And i guess those two golden fishes eats everything because they have to be big enough to eat another. They are SO fat. Its a matter of death.

My Marine Reef tank isn't show worthy yet either, it's a mere 120lt (30gal) tank but I have plans for a 1200-1400Lt (300-350 gal) Reef tank.

OMFG, I love reef tanks. They can be so gorgeous with all the color from the different anemones...

Golden Fish (Goldish) are not in my plan at all, the only plans I have for my Tropical tank is probably the addition of a dozen or so Guppies. With 47 fish in 220Lt (55gal) it is almost at capacity where the fish community is happy.

A red tail black shark... ummm you might have a few problems if not now might be in the future. With red tail sharks they wont mess with things bigger than themselves however they can get up to around 7 inches which makes them fairly large, not as big as Balla sharks but still fairly large and they get territorial against any fish that resemble the same shape as themselves, just watch carefully, some red tails are peaceful throughout their lives, but in most cases they can become seriously aggressive rather like Siamese algae eaters.

I had a siamese algae eater literally rip through my favorite green spotted swordtail one time because she went into his area and ive had a red tail tear my little ottos apart simply for cleaning the glass near his favourite haven cave.

Ive only ever had one aggressive angel myself and eventually she passed away but they arent too bad normally, and angels are a showling fish, they are like dolphins and such, if you ever manage to find a mating pair, they are a mating pair for their lives, i did have two once, and when one passed away the other gave up living, and they were so beautiful, she was a veil tail and the other was a dark chocolate angel

Impressive looking fish and tank dude, looking really lovely &^.^

My 2 sharks are rather placid, one more so than the other, at the moment the only one that is anything close to aggressive is Sheldon, but he is quickly learning to calm down. The sharks are smaller than the Molly's, Congos and Angels.

The smaller of the sharks is often seen swimming with the angels and congos and affectionatly brushing against them.

If their is any tomfoolery, I do have a naughty corner.

The plan is for a few more tanks, including a larger marine and a Discus Tank sometime next year.

Looking good there bud.
Personally I can't imagine the siamese fighter lasting to long in your tank though, the Angels are gunna get bigger.. and they always end up naughty ;D.

I moved on from community set ups to reef tanks now, although I do have Ben and Jerry my Oscars, living in my bedroom...

[dfiant]

Awesome, I love your reef tank. How long have you had it?

I can imagine the hard work gone into it, and probably a couple of heart breaks along the way, but now it looks stable, established and amazing. You have done well

[Marc]

Actually I haven't had a single problem in the 2 years it's been running... but I am very patient, and only add a maximum 2 fish and coral a month.

People get problems when they rush, take your time and it's heaven

I have around 20 fish in there... they are camera shy though

I'll have to check out your YouTube vid sometime when I'm on my other computer

Love fish & have a few tanks myself (all freshwater at this point)

[ChrisD]

You have mostly community fish (tetras, guppies and such), right? That's cool- I used to have that (same size 220Lt). How did you fit 47 fish in? we have 7 + a frog and it seems like we're full.
