I got 33.75 gals as well, but I really hope your planning on getting a much bigger tank like everyone else really soon....Your Shark will get over 8", and if thats a Common Plec=over a ft., and your clowns need 3x's the sixe tank you have now.......Good Luck !

That means that those people with big tanks are very lucky people. And that they don't have parents who scowl at the thought of another (bigger) tank in the house.

Of course, I still find it amusing that my dad protested a 29 gallon as too big/heavy, but doesn't seem to have a problem with a twenty gallon and a ten gallon on the same stand.

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

Yeah, you really need a larger tank for those fish.

2X CLOWNLOACH
2X SYNCATFISH
1X NICEPLEC
1X CHOCCATFISH
2X KRIBENSIS
1X SILVER SHARK

Clown loaches need at least 125 gallons, as do plecos (if comon plecos) and silver sharks. I'm not familiar with chocolate catfish. What kind of syno do you have? Most of them get too big for a 33 gallon too.


They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes,
They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver,
So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.
