I just got a 60 gallon tank . I have a 20 gallon tall and two tens. I got the 60 gallon for my pleco. He needs some room. My original plan was to move all my current fish from the twenty gallon in the 60. I have one cherry barb and a ton of zebra danios. No, I don't know how many danios as we've had two batches (no clue what you call sets of frys) within the past 4 months. I will probably take a good many of them to the local fish store once they're big enough. However tonight when I was getting the tank I fell in love with a spotted African leaf fish. The lady said he might pick on the danios once he reached his full size. If he was raised with them do you think it would be a problem. He isn't even an inch long yet. So now I'm considering leaving my danios in the twenty, and starting over with the 60 and my pleco. So suggestions of fairly hearty fish, small to medium sized that won't bother the pleco. Please include whether they would or wouldn't get along with danios.
Also I got a fluval 306 canister filter. I'm new to this type of filters, so any tips/advice would be appreciated. And no I'm not going to be getting the new fish for a bit. I'll be setting the tank up tomorrow and letting it cycle for several days.
Also would love advice on good substrate that my pleco won't mind so my love plants will finally stay where I put them. They are all floating as my pleco loves to stir up the gravel.
And tips on safely moving my big guy would be fabulous. He's a jumper, and fast...lol.
Thanks a bunch!
