Re: help fish are disappearing!!!

The problem is your sharks are going to grow to around 30cm and anything you put with them needs to grow big enough not to be eaten which is going to need a big tank' They are also quite nervous so nothing thats teritorrial or nippy and keep a tight lid on as they jump.

Re: help fish are disappearing!!!

the silver sharks really need to be moved out of there, as that tank is far too small for them. the minimum they should be kept in IMO is about 200L, probably a lot more. its unfair to keep them in there, and will have a huge negative impact on thier health and happiness.

and yes, they will be eating your neons and guppies. your only option would be either e a much bigger tank, or give them to someone who has (or the shop). keeping them in there would be unfair.

Re: help fish are disappearing!!!

when i went to the pet shop they told me I could keep an Orlanda goldfish in a bowl! Having done my research i realise that they need at least a 50L tank with a filter! lucky i didnt go buying them right away or they would be dead by now.

Blooming useless, im gonna go to a proper fish shop when i get mine so i get correct advice!
