Aquarium Advice Regular
Many of you helped me through the painful process of dealing with my first tank. I got very poor advice from the LFS and loaded up my 29 gallon with a bunch of fish early. Everyone died, my kids were upset....it was bad. Eventually, with people's help here, my tank settled and now its doing great. In my 29g, I have 3 German Blue Rams (2 lg 1 sm), a pleco, 5 glo-light tetras, 1 gourami, 3 hatchet fish and 3 celebes rainbows. Everyone is very happy. With the exception of a few algae blooms now and then we are in good shape.
After that, I started a guppy tank for my 6 yr old in his room - he loves it. There are now 5 fry in the tank along with 3 fancy guppies.
Then...I went for the 125 gallon with the nice oak stand and canopy. I've had it up for about 3 weeks now and have some starter fish in it who are doing quite well. Ammonia is low, nitrite is low and nitrate is starting to show. Pretty psyched. I will post pictures of the tanks soon and maybe some video. My plan is to make it a discus tank after it is fully cycled a couple of months from now. What would you recommend for tankmates and how many discus should I have in a tank this size?
