Yay! I finally infected my man enough with MTS that we are getting a 55 gallon tank. Now i need stocking advice, lol.
Currently we have a 10 g with a betta and black neons.
An adf tank.
A 36g with harlequin and espei rasboras, black phantom tetras, panda cories, 2 rams, cardinal tetras, and a Siamese algae eater.
The 55 is going to be planted and scaped with rocks and caves (he wants to try his hand at the under water waterfall thing but it's a maybe). I have my heart set on a red tail black shark, he wants a gourami. Based on research a large school of tiger barbs should work here if it's a more aggressive gourami (thinking pearl?) But i don't know much about gourami other that what I've been reading. I like the idea of a.few smaller cichlids but not sure how that would work with those other fish. From what I'm reading a convict would be good. What else? Ideas, suggestions, opinions please!
