so i have a bitter sweet story for ya'll
the two oscar that ive had seence they were 1 inch ive had to give up one today
i took him to the store and donated him
he was getting beat up bad and couldnt leave him in the tank to die.
so when i took him i saw to serevrums<-----not spelled right i no lol
both were about 7 inch big guys
so i took them them home with me
my stock list is as follows now
135 tank
fx5 and AC 110
1 oscar
1 fire eel
2 serevrums
and a comman pleco
am i over stocked what do you guys think
PS: ill have pics up of the fish when they settle in in the next couple hours or so

well with what i have read....No..

yr filtration is ample which is always a plus!

what size r all yr guys? if there all full grown then probz, i.e fire eels and common plecos get huge but like i say depedning on size will depend on if yr overstocked m8.

I wana no long run am I going to run into water trouble or am I good? as far as eel goes he doesn't take up swimming room he's in his cave and will tank quite some time to grow 3ft he's at 17inchs now

lose the pleco and you should be fine.

ya ur probably right the pleco will have to go just not yet ill cry give me a couple months but thank u for the advise
here are the pictures as promised
mind you they look a little rugged because there tank mates at the store were JD but hopefully will heal up in couple weeks time


hopefully when they get settled in there colors will pop

decent looking sev you picked up. in time they will more than likely heal up fine and as they settle in their colours should improve.


nice pick up.............

Very Nice Sev's! I can't wait to see them after they have settled!!

And I agree, Lose the plec and you will be just fine!

yeah i agree...eel doesn't need that much swimming space...but mind you,
the way they eat and excrete waste, you will be needing huge tank to keep
the water in good condition...it is always the waste being considered when
talking about tank size... how to cope with the bioloads.

nevertheless, i concur with the rest... pleco out and you will be fine
for good. for the meantime you can enjoy it for a couple of months...

i agree m8, nice looking sevs, keep yr water good and they'll clear up fine...

ok i found a home for the pleco friends pound yeah!!!
but imma miss the pleco
always loved the way they look!!!
anyway you guys think i can get any other type of pleco
that wont grow as big and but mind you i cant have a small one ether cause oscar will think its snack time haha
ROyal pleco good? any other ideas?
some were in the 10 -12 inch range
