Keep the Eheim and Emperor, lose the Tetra and there's no need for a skimmer. Now, the surface skimmer is up to you. Sometimes an oily residue appears on the water's surface and so that skimmer may prove useful. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

What you have here is a great plan for a semi-aggressive community. The only problem I see is Silver Dollars. They prefer to be in a larger group and a 75g is more suited to at least 6. Not sure about the Synodontis but what about Pictus Catfish. Have you considered a Rainbow or red- tailed...

You have a real dilemma as all of these fish will do well in a planted tank. The danios may be a little too active for company so I'd cross them off the list. I love Cherry Barbs and they will be fine with any of the tetras mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

They'll go away eventually. I get them with each water change. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Many choices. What you should look for is gph; 150gph min to 300gph max. Depending on your stocking level, which most people tend to stock heavily, shoot for the high end. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hard to tell. Since this is a hybrid, traditional sexing methods don't apply like nuchal hump development, coloration, and fin extensions. (Info discovered on this forum) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you for pointing that out. In that case I must agree with your statement. Actually both statements are true. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

A bigger tank is easier to maintain; temp and parameters are more stable. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The statement was made there wasn't much you could put with a ram; I disagreed with that statement. In a tank that size there are many things you could put with a ram, including another ram. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Are you fond of snails? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have to disagree, I've got BR's with a platy and barbs in a 26g and no issues. With 1 ram in a 40g, the options are many. I'd do a biotope with catfish and a schooling fish native to the area. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Very protective parents. I don't think she'll eat them but she may move them. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Clown plecos stay small and more than 1 can be kept together also. Commons do get huge and are notorious for sucking the slime coat off of other fish, even eating small fish. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Women! Sounds like she was impressed by male #1's size but male #2 won her over in the end. They could have double teamed male #1, poor guy.? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Some will say Eheim 2234, I love my Fluval. I have an older model but the new 406 is supposed to be great filter. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
