How many guppies can I put in a 55?

[Beth777]

Well hey, 55 is good too! LOL Not as good as 125 but I could put some good fish in a 55.

LOL, the largest tank for sale is 55 gallon. I haven't seen anything bigger than that for sale there.

[Beth777]

Oh I know that ptran! That's why I put the laughing face. You're one of my favorite buddies on here.

On top of every thing else I noticed condensation on the inside of the heater in the guppy tank this morning! The tank temp was downfrom 82 to about 78. Worries me that this will cause the ich to come back with a vengence. Soooo, I'll be going to get a new heater after work. Seems like this tank was doomed from the beginning. It's the Hongi fry curse.

My little ax murder seems so happy to have the tank all to himself. Such happy swimming and dancing all over the tank. He gets so excited every time he sees me that he shakes and twists his whole body. Three of the boys in the other tank were arguing this morning before I left the house. Didn't look too vicious. I hope every one is alive when I get home.

I think Petsmart is going on $1/gallon sale. It might not worth it to reseal a small tank. Maybe it's better to buy a new tank.

Yes, my Hongi fry are all healthy. I just sold 50 Hongi last week. Nobody complained yet.

There weren't any dead fish in that tank on the day we got ours. It was a day or 2 later when Crizz went back that he saw dead fish in the guppy tank. The guppies just died so fast. I think it had to have been a bad batch and I know that happens. With the stores having universal systems seems like disease would be in all the tanks any way.

If all of my fish wind up dying no matter what I do, I'm going to completely break that tank down and put it back in the garage. I'll get the other tank and set it up and start over. I figure if the infected tank sits empty in the garage for who knows how long all the crud will die off.

Sounds like it was a bad batch that they got in. My experience is: if I see a dead fish in the tank, I would not buy any fish from that tank no matter how much I wanted it.

In any case, I'm sorry for your loss.

And I bet the Hongi fry are HEALTHY! I heard they come from a good source.

The brichardi are digging again, more babies on the way!

They're probably angels compared to these darn guppys! I keep looking at that tank on the kitchen floor. Debating on taking it to Extreme and having him reseal it. I can't do it because it's too deep and would kill my back. It has a small leak towards the top. I filled it with water and let it sit on the patio for a week, but that was a LONG time ago. The glass looks fantastic. I obsess over scratches. LOL

All my T&T guppies are dead. 2 out of 3 from Unlimited seem to be doing great, even courting the ladies, and so far the ones from Extreme are doing real well, except for the ax murderer, bit that's a different story. LOL I've now lost 2 girls from Crizz. Can't help but think there had to be something wrong with the T&T guys, seems too much of coincidence for Crizz and I to be having so much trouble after getting fish from the same tank on the same day.
