Hello, Im Steve.
A few decades ago i had some small aquariums and decided to jump back into the hobby. Ive gone with a 55g aquarium which is the one i have always wanted (only 20s and 30s in the past)
After reading about canister filters but not being able to afford one i got a bit creative and attached a tube to my hang on back filter so that it creates current and helps to prevent dead areas. Id like to know what you think (pictures attached)
Also i cycled it and have been adding fish over the last couple of weeks. Here is my fish list
10 Neon Tetras
6 Boesemani Rainbow (3 Male, 2 female, 1 unsure)
4 albino cory cats
1 emerald green cory cat
2 Threadfin rainbow (1M, 1F)
1 Betta (female)
3 honey gourami
1 powder blue dwarf gourami
1 sunset platy
3 nerite snail
1 african dwarf frog (my daughter insisted)
3 ghost shrimp
For this community tank every seems to get along but its a very active tank. I really wanted a rainbow shark but decided he may be to aggressive. 1 of the male boesemani is a bit aggressive and chases everyone around.
open to thoughts/suggestions with the setup and selection.
