Ok so tommorrow I am getting my Christmas present early, all 150 gallons! smile.gif And not a minute too soon, as my 39 gallon has a mystery leak! blink.gif

Here is my question...I have 5 commons comets from 3-5 inches automatically they are going into the 150, so 100 gallons are taken up. (All together I have 13).

I have 8 fry that range from 1-1 1/2 inches. With the remaining 50 gallons should I just add 2 more or can I sqeeze more then two in. I'm going away in 2 days and can't find the leak in the 39 gallon & don't want to trust it as I really have no one to check in on it daily. That leaves a 29 gallon.

I'm starting to stress out as I am going on vacation in 2 days time and as I am new to the country I don't have anyone to do water changes and I am still cycling.

Thanks!

150 gallons is big enough for your 13 fish at their current size. However, common/comets can grow to over 16 inches.

I'm trying to stick to the 20 gallon rule. The tank was supposed to be 265 gallons but we had too many weight issues and the price was wayyy to steep....

Anyone else have some $0.02 to contribute?

i really wouldnt bother keeping all the fish, choose a few of your favourites and sell the rest.

I've placed 4 of my fry in homes which can accomodate them accordingly & care for them lovingly. When I did try to sell them I was told they would be feeder fish, I love my fish therefore that is not an option. Plus they are all my favorites for different reasons.
