first off, im new here but not entirely new to aquariums.... ive had a few and know the basics as far as testing the water and performing maintainence on the water and equipment(like when to do partial changes, cleaning etc.)
well anyways after my dogs knocked my 30G over by chasing my sister stupid cat who decided to take refuge behind it a few years a go i decided i wouldnt get another tank untill my sister either moves out or that stupid cat dies.......... well sis has be out for like 4 years and the cat FINALLY died after a good run of 15 years of age... not soon enough
ANYWAYS
im getting an all-glass 55 w/ under gravel power heads etc...... the whole deal and i have a 10 gallon now that houses 3 serpae tetras a corydora a black cardinal tetra and a colombian red-blue tetra(i call him the di*khead for reasons ill explain in a second)
heres what i wanna do... i love watching my serpaes, but the di*khead is aggressive towards them, im guessing cause he's not in a school like he should be. he's already killed 1 serpae. i originally bought 4 but the littlest one got attacked... all the fish are still pretty much in their juvenile state except for the di*khead. so i wanna move the serpaes into the 55 when its up and cycled for a week or so cause ive always kinda wanted to let my new tanks cycle for 7-10 days. so i want to move the serpaes into the 55 and let them enjoy a nice expansive playground and add a few more and get a nice school going.
^^^ all that depends on this
i havent missed a shark week on the discovery channel since i was like 3..i love sharks.... coolest animal EVAR....and since its extremely hard to have a tank big enough to hold a real shark.... i wanna get a bala shark and heres my questions.....
i know the bala wont go in untill the tank has matured...... but will a 55 be good for 1 bala due to its huge potential size?
and if its good for 1 bala... would the bala pick on/eat my serpaes when it gets bigger?
i know small bala groups prefer 75 or above so i was just wondering
