But what I want to know is how many power heads do I need to keep my fish alive this is what ive got in there
2 guppies
14 gold fish - there food
1 Carcharodon carcharias
so how many do I need?
also Id like to put 2 more fish in what kind would work?
thanks

thanks for the tip ill get 50 more pounds of sand and two more shop lights there both on sale at lows.
And dont Crocodylus porosus need a way to get out of the water?

Answer 1

Lol, your tank sounds pretty good, you might be able to handle about 5 Mola mola's in there for food too. If you want to make it real nice you can add a Crocodylus porosus also, but I'd stick to just one. Also you may want to add a few more inches of sand to to help the undergravel filter out. Are you sure 4 shop lights are going to be enough?

Edit: Good Idea going to Lowes. The Crocodylus porosus dose have to be out of the water now and then to bask, but you may be able to lower the water level a little and get one of those turtle platforms for it to climb up on.

Answer 2

Interesting specimen for a 55 gallon tank. You'll need a few more goldfish. Make sure you have a male and female guppy because your carcharodon will need all the fry they'll be able to produce (until they're eaten of course).

As far as your extra 2 fish in that 55 gallon tank with the Carcharodon carcharias, I'd suggest a Balaenoptera musculus and a Rhincodon typus

Answer 3

if you have a male and a female guppie than you will have lots of baby so I wouldn't put to many fish in the tank so why don't you go to the pet store and ask them they will know more.

Answer 4

Who you're kidding? Carcharodon carcharias is the scientific name of the great white shark!!!!

You can fool some people some of the time, but not all people all the time....

Answer 5

Why don't you get in there,I know the Latin names too.

Answer 6
