So this thread is going to start off a bit morbid, but here we go.
As some of you may remember from long ago that I started a 55 gal planted tank a while back that was supposed to be a community tank. After fin rot and thanksgiving break I lost a lot of fish, leaving me with (1) tiny bristlenose pleco (3) sterbai corys and (6) rummy nose tetras. I am currently on christmas break right now, and left my tank to the mercy of an automatic feeder. I have no idea how they are doing but sadly I wouldn't be surprised if there was great losses. (I really hope the bristlenose pleco makes it through the holidays, I really enjoy him. )
SO through my short amount of time with a mini-community tank I have realized that it's not for me. Since having koi (the dogs of the sea, I swear) I think I really enjoy having 'loner' fish instead of schools. I am thinking of getting an angel fish, but from there I have no idea. I really like the look of peacock eels(?). But being a college student I want to keep the cost of my tank low. I have no lighting, but plants are thriving, I also have black gravel.
Any good singular fish that you guys enjoy that could live together in my tank? Any and all opinions are welcome.
