Krystal,

There is no such measure as inches per gallon. Think about a 1 inch Goldfish or a 1 inch tetra. Which combination gives you the largest wste mass, 6 inches of guppies or 1 6 inch loach?

Proper filtration with appropriate tank care will allow higher bioloads in the tank. Use filtration that has biological filtration media in it and do routin water changes. Add benefical bacteria routinely and do not overfeed.

I just lost one tiger barb (out of 3) and I have another that looks REALLY bloated and stays in one spot near the back at the top of my 46 gallon tank. Still in an upright position, but not really moving. Didn’t seem to put out any effort to come to feeding time. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Yes it’s normal. They can be quite territorial.

Hi, I have a 29 gal. tank with 3 tiger barbs, 2 tri-color sharks and two red tail sharks and three corys. One of the red tail shark is about 3″ as is the tri-color sharks, the other red tail is about 2″ and the tiger barbs are about the same.The larger red tail shark chases the rest of the fish around the tank all but the corys that stay on the bottom most of the time. He’s like a bully in a school yard. Is this normal for this type of fish or is there something that should be done

Hi. You didn’t mention your tank size, or number of fish. If you have 1 inch of fish per gallon of water, you should be ok. So if you had a 20 gallon tank, you could have 5 tiger barbs = 10 inches + 5 neon tetras = 5 inches, + 1 pleco = 3-5 inches.

Kissing gouramis get 8-12 inches. Rainbow sharks reach 6 inches. That’s 32 inches. If you’ve got a tank smaller than 50 gallons… and definitely if its under 30 gal., you have it overstocked, and that’s your problem.
