55g fell into my lap

If you have room get 5 or 6. You might lose one or two. And they play with each other well.

I wish a tank set-up could go this smoothly for me! It looks beautiful

I just added 2 Densonii Barbs. I plan to add 2 more at least. These are youngsters and eating like pigs.
Sorry for blurry pic

Cool looking fish, really nice looking colors. Do they grow big?

Love those guys, great colors and movement throughout the tank. Wayyyy spensive by me though.

They get around 4.5" a 55g is about the smallest they can use. Bigger is better. Mine are babies. These are active swimmers, like lots of oxygen and flow. With my big canister, the return sends water the length of the tank. I am cautiously optimistic.

I have around 9 oto's In my tank. I only see about two - three on a good day. For over a month I thought the rest had died until I moved the wood one day and they all flew away scaring the heck out of me! They eat algae on the plants and glass and zucchini I stick under the side of the wood I guess. LOL!
That's awesome you got pics of them like that.

Nice tank corsair.

I just added 10-12 more Neons. Petsmart had them for $1/Tetra.
I also got 2 baby Veil Angels. 1 Marbled and 1 Gold. I prefer the all black, but I liked these 2.

I'm going back tomorrow to check new shipment for 2-3 more Denison's Barbs ( aka Roseline Sharks).

That's a good buy on the tetras.

Really like how your tank is set up ☺ the fish look all happy and healthy, can't get over how bright the neons and dension barbs look! And those Angel's are beautiful always wanted another such graceful creatures.

Fish are very active after a 50% PWC and adding my Ferts. Using Thrive all in one liquid from Nilocg. I added some Excel also.

I wanted to show how my Farlowella "walks" using his fins and then the vid turned into showing a feeding frenzy over an Algae wafer. Excuse random Duckweed blowing around. The pale Denison's are the new ones.

The tank got really bare, I stopped using ferts because I was barely home and killed off a lot of plants.

But I'm back to using Thrive every other day. Plants are starting to bounce back and I got a generous plant package from a club member.
