Hi, I recently(2 months ago) had some tanks and some fish fall into my lap.
I have a 20 gal containing guppies and a community tank (55 gal) with some local lakeweeds, an angelfish, 7 tetras, 5 rosy barbs, a small pleco, 4 chinese algae eaters, a spotted loach a fiddler crab and some ramshorn snails. (Dont worry fiddler crab has "up high" places out of the water via a rockpile and floating rubber "rock" and floating plastic plants on the one corner...He crawls around up on top alot and he seems glad I added them, the original owner didnt have it. He(the crab) recently molted (I hear thats good?))
I am "lightly" salting to keep the crab happy and the other fish all seem to be doing well with it.
I think the power filter that came with the set up helps alot.
I am doing all the needed water changes and everything has been great for the month or 2 Ive been up and running. Havent lost a single fish.
The fish were abandoned by an AWOL science teacher and so far I have been quite satisfied with her left behind equipment and fish. Although trying to keep different aquarium inhabitants happy seems to be a real challange.
Anyway Im rambling.
I was supposed to be just saying hello!
