Oooh i just had a thought lol. My sister has some plecos in a 60 gallon. Do plecos like sandl. They are quite large. I dunno how large,but they are. They are also in with an Oscar,couple Goldfish,small shark fish of some sort,some kinda fish that looks like a Silver Dollar lol. I know not that helplful in the name department but I dunno all the fish yet. Im sure she could use like a good portion of the sand in her tank. Thatd work out great haha. Just dont know if she is up for maintaining it. Heh. Well i could always still give her the bag and well its outta my hair! Lol. So just a thought. Im gonna go look it up now.

When I have ordered fish from fish stores I try to get a day and approx time that they receive their shipment. In this way I can be there and take the fish directly from the bag it was shipped in to my tank at home.This cuts down considerably on stress of fishes who only need to be acclimated once after shipping rather than twice. I realize not everyone can be there when fish arrive but it might be something to consider.

Oh...didnt think of that...ill have to ask. That would be an idea though dont want to stress out the fish more than they have to be. Thanks!

Do everything you can to minimize the stress on them. Pandas aren't the hardiest corys.

fishyinpa

Oh okay thanks. Well the girl at the lfs said they get the fish around noon time so ill call a lil before then to see if they are in yet. So i can be there when they get delivered like yall said.

Tomorrow's the big day! lol

fishyinpa

Yup lol! I cant find any larger critter keepers than what i have...i saw big ones online like 8-9 gallon but no stores carry them. So I prolly gonna have to set up my 5.5 glass tank if i have to get all 6 tomorrow. Just where to put it...heh....

dramaqueen

How long do you have to quarrantine them?

dramaqueen

Hey, an idea just came to me! How about a large Rubbermaid container with a lid? I've heard other people say that they have used them with a heater and filter. Would that work?

fishyinpa

Hmmm....can ya put a heater in them lol. Um for a few weeks at least i think...I had an empty bin downstairs but i dunno if my mom put it use yet or not...maybe ill go look haha... darn mom used it lol. but they cheap enough so i can buy another...the one i had wouldve been 16 gallons! Ill find one a bit smaller haha...thanks for the idea!
