    I'd never have fish @ all if I listened to all your tank standards. It's great if you have all these 180 & 500 gallon tanks. I don't have the space. I have to do the best with what I have.If I have to put a parrot, 3 rosey barbs a pleco, a large fancy goldfish & a medium comet in a 30 gallon tank, that is what I have to do. I guess I just do not have the space & money that you guys do.

    One of my grandaughters has had the same golfish in a bowl for over 2 years now. Lots of people say that cannot be done either.

    Maybe sometimes we have to push the limits @ the same time providing the best possible living conditions.

    I'm retired & have all the time in the world to devote to my 2 favourite hobbies. ( plants & fish ) I do the best I can do with both ! I have had aquariums for 50 years now & have done many things that people told me couldn't be done.

    Not one to admit my mistakes. I put in my 2 golfish & my parrot fish went right @ them. Everyone is back where they belong. I was wrong. My parrot fish tank is heavily planted ! ( plastic )As the parrot gets bigger, will I have to remove some ?

    Quite a hockey game, eh ? GO CANADA GO ! The most gold medals ! Hockey is CANDA'S GAME !

    I have a 10 gallon with a large fancy goldfish & a medium-sized Comet.I found it interesting that tetras could be added. What about fancy guppies ?
