Help with fish breeds??

Your fish are really pretty!

I know it doesn't "seem" like you have alot of fish since there's plenty of room for them but bioload is a delicate balance. I think I read somewhere that freshwater fish require a minimum of 1 gallon of water per 1 inch of fish. (When figuring it out rember to use the average adult-fish length.)

Some will quibble with this rule -- arguing for more gallons of water per inch of fish and I can definitely see the safety in that. (More water = bigger buffer to toxins, etc) That said, I think alot of it is up to the person and how dedicated they are on water changes - not to mention the maturity of the tank.

And here's a shameless nudge (DO IT! LOL) for your future plans of a saltwater tank! I absolutely love my little reef.

Your fish look really pretty! I love fish. I have a koi and he stays at my dad's house. He got too big for my 30 gallon tank. My dad has a 55 gallon and he has gotten HUGE! His name is Cheeko and he is as big as some fish that you'd catch in the river! He's white with orange splotches. I really like him, and it's fun to watch him grow.
