I want to start up my big tank. Its 55 gallons. Can someone tell me some of the fish that I should get? I wanna get pretty active fish that will breed alot. And another question. Do live plants mess with your tanks ph at all?
 
Get Senegal bichirs, mine swim everywhere and they can live with other fish that are bigger than their mouth. I have mine in with a breeding pair of oscars and have no problems in my 125. Lots of fun to watch them hunt minnows. All four of my tanks are planted without co2 systems and they help keep my water amazing. It smells like fresh rain when I open the lid and iv never added a chemical besides de-chlorinator in 5 years.
