Tank Update

Well, it's been four days since I added the Glow light Tetras to my 20 gallon. So far, all of them are still alive and have managed to grow. Their color is a lot more vibrant that when I bought them. The water is crystal clear. The Moss balls have also started to green up a little now that the fish are in there.

One of the fish has been concerning me since day one. It swims very oddly; sometimes upside down. I has figured that he would be dead by now, but even thought it swims funny, it too is growing and there is not sign that they other fish are picking on it.

My 38 Gallon tank is another story. The Oscar and Pleco are way too big for it. I am changing 20% of the water multiple times a week and cannot keep up with the waste production. The Oscar is as big as the tank is wide now. The Pleco is even longer. They both have been lethargic and the Oscar is not eating like he used to. I'm currently looking for a larger tank for them.

Your tank is to small, you will need a list 75 gallon minimum ...

if you can , just buy a tank over 90 gallon ;-)

A new tank is in the plan. I just have to find one. I am in a tropical fish store dead zone here and I really to not want to buy one online.
