Hello everyone,

I have a "Jellybean" Fish all alone in a 10 gal aquarium and i hear they can grow big so i was wondering if giving it to my uncle would be ok. He has a 45 gallon aquarium with, 2 silver dollars, 3 very small suc*erfish one has spots im really not sure what it is its not a loach i know that but something similar, and he also has a HUGE suc*ker fish i think he said it was called a pleco- something and thats it. So my question is would the jellybean fish be compatible wih this species?

Thanks in advance

It should be compatible with the other fish, but not in that small of a tank. The parrot alone will need 30 - 40 gallons of water. And the pleco, if it's a common or sailfin, will also need at least 40 gallons (they are unbelievably messy fish that can get at last 1 1/2 feet long).

For all those fish I'd say he'd need a minimum of 90 - 120 gallons.
