not everyone is lucky enough to have big space and as for me, to own a house. a gd mentality for me in fish keeping is to keep them healthy and knowing wats best for them... different ppl have different capabilities, eg. expenditure, space, time..

Its not a must to keep all the fish u want to. Only keep those u r "able" to.

If u don't even have the min requirements n future plans for the fish, just admire them in others' tanks.

Never stunt a fish just because u r unable to provide it a proper setup. Its cruel to it.

These are ours:

Gars are not really fast swimmers especially in a tank. They typically 'ambush' their prey so you may need to give them slower swimming feeders such as goldfish, small koi or guppys. Swordtails could be too fast for them.

My tank is basically a case of.. who gets food 1st, who eats.

Whose mouth bigger, who eat more.
