Aquarium addiction part 2
We bought a bigger aquarium. It felt so great. We saw the aquarium sale on Facebook and then we thought it would be cool if we had a bigger aquarium. We bought a used aquarium with about 80 cichlids inside. The aquarium was only 180 liters (47 gallons) and contained 80 cichiles!
We didn't think much about the aquarium being overcrowded. We bought a larger filter because the small internal filters were constantly full and didn't work. I still can't believe how a whole bunch of fish survived. After all, overpopulation was somewhere around 2000%. In addition, there were several bottom cleaners there.
But at some point, I watched a fish getting some kind of a disease and we bought home chemistry to test the water. And those readings were very bad. So we googled what to do and found a website where we could write aquarium data and it turned out we had an overpopulated aquarium. So we gave away about 40 fish. Then somehow there seemed to be too few of them. We thought we would do a plant aquarium. And to give away all the Cichils. We gave the cichlids and bought a lot of plants and bought other fish. We bought a guppy. Both females and males. And finally, we had overcrowding of guppies. We bought another aquarium and separated the males and females.
