need suggestions for my 55 gallon planted

I ADORE my turquoise rainbows. I also got my hands on some albinos, and I love the color contrast. GBR would be good, they are kinder than my Bolivians. I would stay away from cardinals, because I had them but they were so freaked by the quick movement of the rainbows that they just hid all the time. I went with danios after and they are great!

If I can find some gbr's I would like to get a pair

Anybody know if I could try a discus? I guess maybe not with the angel, but if I didn't have the angel... or are Discus one if those that needs a group? I've always been kind of interested in Discus but too intimidated to try them. It was just a thought.

Try pet supermarket in Mr Dora inbetween froggers and the Wal-Mart they had some last time I was up there.

I actually made a special trip out there there smaller than I thought but there fish looked healthy I'd probablly call cefore I went though.

 

[ashleynicole]

I don't mind too much. I usually only go out that way when I need to go to lake uniform and I do need some new uniforms so it wouldn't be a waisted trip.

Oh my kids dentist is in mt.dora also so next dental appointment I could stop by haha.


Or I could try animal world pet center... (insert eye rolling smiley here).

you could do discus but then no angels and no rams. they are fragile, but also rewarding fish. you could do discus and cardinals though! they look great together and they both thrive in soft slightly acidic water

After the new owners bought it it went down hill I ordered some fish from them and the day before my fish were supposed to come in they closed down. Poor animals I went by there everyday for a week and didn't see any sign of anyone being there. I hope none died.

Oh I had no idea it closed, it was always gross and smelly in there, never bought anything there.

Supposing I rehome the angel, could discus cohabitate with my current rainbowfish? How many discus could my tank support? Like I said, its just a thought.

 

[ashleynicole]

Scratch the discus idea. They need soft acidic water and my water is hard and slightly alkaline. I'd have to use rodi water and buffer it, no thanks....

I knew the old owner she could get awesome fish but I would be there to receive them as soon as they came in so they would never have to touch there tanks. LoL

Very smart. Years ago used to go to leeseburg pet center when the big guy was the manager, I would go on delivery day and pick them straight out of the bag. The new management wouldn't let me do that. They said I had to wait for them to accimilate. Ever since they lost the big guy as the manager customer service has gone waaaay down at that place.
