New 29g tank and a few questions

fishfreaks · 05-09-2005, 06:19 AM

well, we got our new tank yesterday, cost us about $150 usd and its all set up now. ****we upgraded from the 10 gallon, to the 29 and took the gravel and filter from the establishes tanks. ****currently we are using the 10 gallon heater for a few days until we get back to the lfs to buy another. **** **** when we were emptying out the ten gallon tank, i got shocked by the electric catfish about 5 times! so he is in the new 29 gallon tank, with a bumblebee catfish. ****i know he need a bigger tank, but this was the biggest we could get for now. i am expecting to have a mini cycle soon.what do you think? ****i hope everyone does well! ****Do you think it would be alright if we took the bushynose from the 55 gallon and put him in the 29gallon? ****he is full grown now, and does not eat algae very much anymore. ****I will post some pics later, we do not have the tank setup the way we want it so that we also be taken care of when we go the the lfs
