angeleel Fish Addict Posts: 561 Kudos: 472 Votes: 61 Registered: 08-Feb-2005	Hello again long time since I have been on but I have a very important question. I have a 29 gallon with 2 angelfish 2 african butterflyfish and 10 corydoras, I also have a 50 gallon with 4 RTBS, The question is can I move the sharks to the 29 gallon and the 29 occupants into the 50???? If you can let me know soon it would be greatly needed as we are moving things around and getting our carpets cleaned We have a great place for the 50 but the sharks don't show it off well Thanks a ton anyone, Angel Eel

Id put one in the 50, 1 in the 29- and try to find places for the other 2.

I think a 50g is about minimum for 4 of them. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

I have had my afb with a rtbs and rbs for awhile now and they are doing great! I would keep the abf and rtbs together as they keep away from each other and do quite well in the same tank.
