| I have 4 new fish, 2 giant, about 3 inchs each and 2 glowlight, 2 inch danios. I got a call during the Card/Falc game (Grrrr) from a friend of my sons. His mom was worried about them because they kept swimming into the sides and gravel in thier tank. So at half time I ran over to thier house and found them in a 2 and half gallon eco bowl of some sort. I told her the tank was to small and asked her to trade me (thinking I could give them to the LFS) for a betta fish that I nursed back to good health after netting his near finless body off the gravel of a Tigar Barb tank in the LFS this past November. Realy a gorgeous fish, light yellow with blue highlights. She feel in love with the little guy instantly.
Any way my question is, do you all think I can move them from the 30 gallon platy fry tank, to my 55. I need the fry tank back tonight. The platy breeder tank is not an option. My other 30 has 3 goldfish in it now and the temp stays around 65 so thats not an option. The 5 gal the betta was in is to small. Ronnie, the LFS owner dosnt want them. Says nobody ever buys them. He suggested I feed them to my oscars. Not an option. So its the 55 or make the trip to the city. What do you all think? There is a pair of convicts, angels, 3 small 2.5 inch parots (they are ready to go back to LFS this Sat.) 3 inch blue crayfish, and a small 2.5 inch clawed frog in the 55 now. There are more than enough hiding spots in the tank for the cons, parots (wont be an issue Sat.), frog and cray. The angels stay at the opposite side of the tank as the cons when they are breeding. They have been through 2 convict fry rearings and know to stay out of thier way and the cons dont seem to be bothered by them at all. Even though the danios are fast as hell Im not sure if I should move them there. Thanks in advance for you time and info. Ed | |

| You all beat me to it, but yea.
I have a reject tank with cons, mollies, 2 rosy barbs (i think) and a few clown loaches. Everyone learns right quick to keep away from the cons when the breed, but otherwise they get along just fine. | |
