Hi all. there doesn't seem to be a board for general fish keeping questions so I hope this will get seen here.
I have a 119 litre community tank containing 2 small bristle nose plecs, 2 yoyo loaches, 3 Mollies and about a dozen tetra's and rasboras.
I bought a second hand tank about a year ago and had to accept the fish that came with it. I kept the 2 angel fish and the torpedo in the second hand tank, but it is quite a small tank so as a temporary measure I put George the Giant (a Sailfin Plec) in the community tank.
But George is a foot long!
He uproots the plants when he swims, and he stirs up the substrate, which has the advantage of keeping the substrate cleaner but I have to clean the filter every few days due to the amount of stuff he stirs up.
The other fish seem a little nervous of him.
I now have a new tank, currently cycling with the intention of giving George a home of his own.
My question is this:
Will he be happy by himself?
