Update on my 55 gallon Community

[Tifta]

Hey guys, I took a few new pictures of my tank. It's coming a long pretty well, still have a few things to add, and of course time, to let things grow.
Added some new plants and a few new fish.

Stocking:
5 Rummy nose Tetras
6 neon Tetras
6 Cherry barbs
2 Bolivian Rams
1 Boesemani Rainbow ( only rainbow left after 4 years in tank)
2 Nerite snails
I want to put some corys in soon, but not sure if I am overstocked too much yet?

Plants:
Stargrass
Wisteria
Swords
Green Temple narrow Leaf
Hygrophil Corymbosa
Nesaea Pedillcellata 'Golden
Telanthera Rosefolia
Crypto Coryne Prava
Anbias, Nana

I am running on DIY CO2 right now, and will be up grading to pressurizer soon. Hopefully!

It's a male cherry barb a lot more colorful then the females.

They are a good fish, very hardy! I bought all six and still haven't lost one.



Thanks everyone!

Goregous tank! You can definitely add atleast 6 of any type of cory you'd like.

I was thinking I could. I have been holding off though, because I heard that corys will uproot plants. I use to have some and would like to get more.

IME cories are very good with plants, have them for a year and have never uprooted one plant, you could definitely add some!

They aren't too bad..but yes..a little replanting here and there is a must.

Oh my..I think you've been lucky. I keep many species and they do uproot here and there.

I don't mind replacing plants here and there, just worried about my HC getting unrooted. Its a pain to replant.
It's between them or a pair of sparkling gouramis.
