was this a good idea?what should i do should i keep them in there for a while???

Question

i bought some baby firemouths 2 of them and i put them in my 55 gallon tank in a breeding basket net. in that TANK i have one oscar med size two jacks med size two small plecos really small.how long should i leave them in the basket so that they dont gett eaten?

Answer 1

You should take them back to the store. Your tank was overcrowded to begin with. One oscar, one jack, and one pleco is pushing the limits. You could also get a smaller tank for the firemouths.

Answer 2

Ditto to fivespeed, the firemouths will never be ok for that tank.
