I currently have a 55 gallon tank with semi aggressive fish. I have 5 tiger barbs, 1 gold gourami, 1 hi-fin pleco, and a ghost knife (plus some dalmation molly fry in a little breeder net that I rescued from being eaten!). I just lost my two clown loaches, who I've had for a year, to ich. I was devistated!
Anyways... I've decided I dont like the way my tank looks, at all. Its too... bare and thrown together. I want to do more live plants and maybe switch to sand (preferably black).
How much more difficult is sand to take care of then gravel? How do you vacuum it without sucking up sand, too?
What are some good, hardy live plants to use in this sort of a setup?
This is my tank so far:
