That's actually pretty smart. Good luck!

So, just the one schooling fish then? =]

 

[allaboutfish]

boesmans are too large to fit another one IMO

 

[Rosenweiss]

Okay. =] Sounds like a nice tank, good luck!

 

[allaboutfish]

thanks!

so bad news petco didnt have the 55 and wont get anymore until next wednesday and ill be out of town. so im thinking 40 gallon along with my 29 gallon. stock so fas will be
1-rainbowshark
6-juli corys
1-angelfish
would the boesmans fit?

 

[Rosenweiss]

Don't put a rainbow shark in a 40-gallon. The 4 foot tank is recommended for swimming space, remember?

 

[allaboutfish]

ah ok i didnt know if a 40 gallon would be ok or not. so what else for the bottom? maybe a bolivian or gold ram?

 

[Rosenweiss]

That would be a great idea.

hmm now a schooling fish. i want to make this a different personality then my 29 gallon which is kind of an aggressive tank. i wont this one to be kind of elegant and kind of moving together if you get that. also do anubius nanas grow along a rhyozome or just get taller?

 

[bruinsbro1997]

Elegant moving, slow schooling fish? Sounds like its time for some danios...maybe a giant danio?

They grow along the rhizome. I just put a big school of black neons in my 55 and I think it looks awesome!

Giant danios are just as speedy as the smaller types and are very active, they would be better suited in a 4' tank because of their size.

A 55g is a 4 ft tank

 

[rain87]

Oops I forgot he's getting a 40b now sorry.

 

[bruinsbro1997]

Oh you're getting a 40 breeder now? Sorry I'm confused the thread said 55 gallon and ya know 55's are 4 feet long...elegant schooling fish...I can't think of any but discus, and I know those aren't going to fit in your tank...sorry but most of the schooling fish I can think of aren't very graceful and elegant...

 

[allaboutfish]

i havent desided haha i might do the 55

 

[allaboutfish]

look what i found it's a 55 with EVERYTHING with a beautiful stand for 100 dollars and it's in my town

that looks a little short to be a standard 55g, did you get measurements? Could be the way the photo is cropped also.
