Not too heavy a load? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first things we learn is even large tanks are not large enough to hold everything😔. That's the number one thing driving multiple tank syndrome. So many fish, so little space. I'd probably cut back by at least 25%, or more. One of the other things I noticed. Odessa barbs temps don't align well with the others. Odessa's are a colder water fish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never advise getting rid of the wife. And i did fill up the house. See if she'll settle for a firemouth. or an electric blue acara. Only one cause breeding pairs in a community tank can be nightmares 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do it the other way, but water changes may have been 3x a week 😂 I'm guessing the show tanks we see have a continuous drip system or an auto change system to keep the nitrates in a safe range. You're now in the range of something I might do. And I can stuff a tank full sometimes. But, really, it's all about the maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
