CaptKirkland Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Hey Fellow Nerms! I'm a relatively new fish keeper, been in the hobby for a few months. Started with a 10 gallon that was gifted to me and now I have a 55, 65, 20 long. Initially I started fish keeping for my kids and now I'm fully addicted. I'm so happy I found this community and the aquarium co-op. Cory's mentality, videos, and products are awesome. It's not often you find a company that you actually care about and actually cares about their customers. I can't wait to meet and interact with the community here and look forward to exchanging information with everyone! Here is my current stock: 55 Gallon: Serpe Tetras, Black Skirt Tetras, Giant danios, Long Finn blue cloud Danios, Platys, snails, Frogs, plecos, plants 20 Gallon: Guppies and snails, plants 65 Gallon: Pictus Catfish, Bala Sharks, Pleco. (Looking to rehome the bala Sharks and about a footlong pleco if anyone wants them for free! They were gifted to me with tanks and are growing too big for the 65) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Welcome to the forum! I think those are the first bala sharks I've seen on here! Are they as big a nightmare as people say they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptKirkland Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 Well I guess nightmare is a relative term. They are hardy and can tolerate wide perams. They require a big tank a large school and don't get along with many other tank mates. Having said that I kept them with Buenos Areis Tetras, Giant Danios, and pictus cat fish. It was a beautiful tank that was really active. Just hard to keep anything slow moving or small with them. They have small mouths are are hungry! I think they're beautiful though. I hope someone on here wants them before I rehome to a LFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perk is that they think you're doing all this for them. At least my kids think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
