I have a 55 gallon tank, with a Marineland Emperor 400 HOB filter. I was just messing around on the stock calculator at AqAdvisor.com, and I have a lot of room left.
Right now these are the fish I have and plan to keep...
5 Long fin red minor tetras
1 clown pleco
1 peppered cory
1 albino cory
1 jullii cory
3 mystery snails
3 otos
These are fish I plan on trading to get others....
1 angelfish
1 angelicus botia
1 clown loach
I will get another rainbow shark, the one I had went through my beginner mistake of not letting the tank cycle, he was the only fish to live and just last week I found him just floating around, still breathing but could hardly keep himself moving. I just flushed him, then found out I could have saved him, because it may have been swim bladder, or I think that is what its called?
I know its a semi aggressive fish, but he never bothered the others, and if I get him last I figure it will be ok.
The fish I plan on keeping are bottom feeders obviously, except the tetras but they hang around the bottom anyways. I want some ideas on top swimmers, I know hatchet fish are some but they also look kind of boring.
Also some middle swimmers that lean towards the top, Id like to stay with smaller fish, I like the quantity over size idea.
