Started a 50 gallon freshwater aquarium this past week

is 50 gal big enough for 14 fish? I only have 7 in my 90 gal saltwater

Time will tell! More than half of the blue gills and longears are very small, barely more than babies. We are not opposed to the bigger fish making their influence known and in fact encourage it! That's nature at its finest, by gum!

hahaha i remember i had a freshwater fish tank when I was real little with some crayfish that a pet store guy swore wouldn't eat fish. Sure, took them a week or two to eat them, since they'd just rip apart their tails until they couldn't escape the little dudes anymore and that was it for the fish.

any of you do salt?

I have a 55 gallon tank and I absolutely love it. Would really like to swap it to salt, but those damn fish are expensive as hell and make for a pricey flush!!!!

I would love to do a saltwater aquarium but have not done so for the same exact reasons...

I have had some shitty luck with my tank in the past. twice it got diseased and within a couple of days, all my fish were gone! I bought a big lot of ciclids a while back...these damn fish were in a restaurant that burnt down...the guy at the store that went to rescue them said it was really weird...they went to this place and it was all black except the fire department had run a generator to power the huge aquarium in the middle of it all. fish lasted about 2 weeks at my place. I've had the best luck with...believe it or not...the 39 cent feeder fish!!!

my brother had a reef tank... he spent a ton of money on it. it was awesome to watch... only fish tank I've just been able to sit and watch for what felt like hours... few months later a drunk friend thought he was being helpful by feeding the fish with some kind of tank cleaner or something and it wiped the entire thing out.
