I'm getting a new tank for my africans which will free up 55 gallons of real estate.
I want to do a community tank, but have never done one before. I know africans fairly well, but I have no idea what type of fish would go in a community tank.
I like the idea of having multiple schools of fish. And I think I'd like to stick with smaller varieties (less than 3-4") in order to keep more in the tank. I also want it to be a nice, peaceful tank (unlike my africans).
I had thought about maybe an angelfish or two, but I've seen conflicting stories about them in community tanks...
My tap water comes out with a consistent ph of 7.0 and a gh of less than 6 (my test kit doesn't really distinguish anything until you hit around 8 or so).
