55 Gallon Stocking :D

I havent moved them yet, i do need to do that still. Not much room left at the back haha.

I did give the sword a root tab. Ive been fighting to keep it rooted down, my cory cats keep sifting around it and uprooting it somehow!

Ive since added in 2 crypt petchiis and an alternantherna pink. Ive added in fish wise 5 peppered cories, 2 panda cories, 1 bn pleco, 2 angels and a gbr.

Have you considered a background for the tank. Different preferences I know, but a background will hide all those wires and tubes and really help your aquarium pop.

A bg is indeed on the list. Im planning to do a rearrange soon and add in some rock as well as Im just not quite happy with how its looking at the moment.

 

[enrique4jc]

I think you're off to a great start! Look forward to seeing it develop. I'm building out a 55g right now myself and trying to get all the ideas I can!

Ok did my re-arrange today. I added in a bunch of rock and it made a nice visual difference. What an amount of effort it is to find aquarium safe rocks outside!

Vals are between the wood and sword. They will fill that gap in nicely once they grow in. Both them and the sword already have runners coming off them.

Looks great!

Thanks! Just need a background now. Cant decide between just black or getting a scene for it.

So not a good day. I got home from lfs with some high fin platys and a blue dwarf gouramie, and found my one angel shredded the other. Poor fish is in tatters now. Not sure why this happened, theyve been together awhile now and no issue? They even laid eggs together. Ill be rehoming the aggressive one as I dont want to take another chance.

They are separated now. I have the aggressor in a breeder net until I can find a new home.

Do angels need a mate or can I have just a single one? Im weary to add a much smaller one with a full sized angel.

You can keep a lone angel, it'll be fine.
