Well, I have been reading some threads on here talking about 55gal. aquariums and would like some suggestions. It always gives me more confidence when I go to get a fish if someone that really knows gives me there opinion first. I hate losing fish.
Eventually, I will get a 55gal. (75 if im lucky, but i doubt it). I will tell you the kind of tank setup I am wanting, if you would give me any suggestions on fish that would be good occupants.
OK, even though I want a HUGE tank, I am probably going to have to settle w/ a 55gal. wal-mart special. I would like it to have live plants with a sand or small gravel substrate. I want predetory fish: I like oscars, but I have read live plants are doomed in an oscar tank. I like the knife fish..but I believe they will grow too large for a 55gal.
Peacefull fish have not been ruled out. I really like clown loaches, but will they grow too large for a 55gal.?
Basically: I would like the largest fish I can get at least 2 of, that is intersting to watch, you don't have to be an expert to keep alive and healthy, and will not shred plants to bits. I need a larger tank to eventually put my pleco in, so it shouldn't attack it. A community is not out either.
I know I always post huge stuff on here, but I do it because I am trying to describe what I'm thinking as much as possible so you can understand. It probably just confuses you more.
Oh well. Thanks!
