After selling all my loaches, knife fish, ripsaw catfish, tire track eel, ect. I am now left with 4 angelfish, a shrimp, and a needle nose gar. I'm still selling the shrimp because it poops sooooo much! But I was thinking very hard about just keeping my angelfish and the gar and just downsizing to a 30 gallon or something. My boyfriend and i were talking last night, about how every time i get a tank i have to upgrade.. Well We figured out that the reason we always get bigger and bigger tanks is because of him! He doesn't really care for small fish. I personally have kept a lot of the big fish, and I find them to be more expensive to feed. He DOES love the needle nose gar though and I love the angelfish, so we were thinking of just downsizing to a 30 gallon or something for now with just the gar and angels. I THINK that could work for both of us, because since we sold the expensive big fish we are FOR SURE selling the big tank and stand and light heater ect. So that will keep him from spending any more money on bigger tanks/fish. As for me : lol I will be able to control my fish buying because 1) much smaller tank already filled with angels and gar. 2) the gar will eat small fish, and kill anything fancy guppie size or smaller, (he actually bit my tire track eels face once thinking it was food). Sooo that just leaves one problem, the bottom. haha I would want a pleco or yoyo loaches or something haha But anyways..... ya I have all the decorations I need and sand, and ill use the 175 gallon can filter. I just need to sell or trade my light, heater, tank, and stand. HMMMMM (wheels turning)
