I have a 20 gallon freshwater tropical aquarium with one pleco (not sure what kind),2 balloon mollies,3 white clouds,4 black neon tetras, and 4 tiger barbs. I’m aware that I’m over-stocked and my schooling fish need more members,but i can’t do that right now because of the overstocking.I have several questions.
How long should I be keeping the light on for each day, and when should it ideally turn on? (tank is out of direct sunlight)
My pleco is so timid that he hides at the slightest sound or movement around the inside or outside of the tank. I know he’s nocturnal and I see him out at night, but if I were to,say,open the lid to the tank,he would hide.Is he stressed and what should i/can i do?
I think I have 2 male mollies.I know that the ideal ratio is 1 male/2 females.I’m not entirely sure of the sex though.They don’t fight, one kinda follows the other around a lot,and they rub up against eachother a lot.Please tell me how I can for sure tell their sex and tips.sry for all the 2s!
I’ve had my pleco for about 2ish years now. He (or she…) was pretty tiny when I got him, but now he’s at least 5 inches long. I’m afraid the tank’s too small for him!
