Low Tech Tank

That does look awesome. well I will have to keep that in mind when I go to the store to get my fish.

Isn't 10 gallons way to small for just two goldfish alone without even taking the pleco into consideration. I mean common plecos get huge.

Idk if i posted in this thread but it has not grown at all in 4 months. Also I have 2 different 55g tanks to pick from to put it in if it does ever grow bigger. Also the goldfish I have are feeder goldfish I think they are called comet or commen or something I can't remember but there about as big as a platty and won't get any bigger. I've carefully considered all the fish I stocked in there. Only problem I may run into is the pleco and at the rate he's growing I don't think he will come out for like a year.

comet goldfish can reach 14-16 inches...i have seen common plecos over 3 feet..
now i don't know who told you that the comets didn't get any bigger than the platies ; but they lied...goldfish can live a great deal longer than a human...last i heard it was something like 250+ years...

Then its not a comet. I have pictures of them cycling my 55. They are pretty tiny. And I know Plecos get big and I wish he would so I could put him in my 55 I just don't think he will eat enough in that tank yet.

I'm not saying that you overstocked your aquarium yet because the fish are so tiny. I just don't think we should give kdizzle the idea of buying two goldfish plus a pleco for his 10g

There are goldfish that do not get big, if you go to any pet store tey have "feeder goldfish" they are just plain silver fish. They are not going to grow any bigger then they are now and have not gotten any bigger. I will agree with you that a pleco can outgrow a 10g tank pretty easy. I was just saying mine has not grown at all. Also it's always a good idea if you do get bigger fish to prepare to where you will re home them to when they do outgrow your tank.
