Idea about fish tank

[ToxicPaddy]

Hi
Well, I have 2 fish tanks in my room. One is 90 liters, and the other is 50. In the 90 liter one, I have around 40 very small tropical fish. In the 50 liter one, I have nothing so far (but its equipped for tropical fish). I was thinking of moving the small ones in the 90 liter tropical tank to the 50 liter one, and getting something like Freshwater Stingrays for the 90 liter one. Does this sound ok? Would it be stressful? And yes, I know freshwater stingrays cost nearly £100 but I am a very keen aquarist :)

If the small fishes are in the tank now are relatively new then it should be ok, + your not moving them far so it would be fine, you'll just have to give them an hour or so to settle in. And the rays sound cool!

[ToxicPaddy]

Yes, I love the idea of stingrays they look amazing in the pictures :D Thanks for help, +rep

It should be ok, as far as I can remember if you buy them young they only grow to a size that is ok for the space they have ;) but its been nearly a year since I got rid of my marine tank:)

Wow you had a marine tank? I would love one of them, just the cost is too big :( I think my budget would only extend to freshwater stingrays, but maybe someday, I can afford marine :)

Yea it was my mums but I looked after it :rolleyes: kids and getting bored with their toys lol

But yea we couldn't afford the upkeep and my favourite fish died :( it was a dwarf lionfish and it was called fu-manchu :P

My dads friend had a marine tank worth like £7000, burst in his living room :(

Lol!
And an hour a day, really? I wouldn't have the time for marine ones then.

It was the alge (spelling?) but apparently it can take up to 2 years for your tank to balance out properlly, then you don't have to clean it as often LOL

Algae :P

And still, cleaning it once a day for 2 years is too much. Tomorrow I will upload some photos of the 50 liter tank and the 90 liter one, and see if you think it will look ok :)

It looks fine, I can't see the 90 litre one but I am sure it will be fine ;)

When you say you cannot see it, do you mean it comes up with a small blue square box, or its a white box? idk what you mean

[Abzii]

I like that idea! :)

And just to tell everyone, one of my two clownfish died. :(
But I got a new fish last week, he is a cleaner wrasse named Flo :)
I might be going to the aquatics shop tomorrow and getting another piece of live rock :)

My Clownfish was a perv... He always stayed near the outlet pipe from the filter and when we got him an anemone he was like rubbing up against it really unusually like it was just weird lol

[ToxicPaddy]

Excuse me? The hamster I had was treated TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY WHICH WAS GREAT IMO! It's not my fault it got a disease, and the fish I have have lived for a while actually.
