Hello all! New member here!

Hey everyone! Wanted to introduce myself and show off my tank! This is my first tank, it's a 55 gallon. I have been following threads on here to complete my fishless cycle a few days back. I started this journey off by buying 6 Bleeding Heart Tetras. Any good advice about community fish to go with them??

Plecos are pretty cool, I'm not really sure how to update my profile so yeah can I have some help?

Welcome to AA!!! Nice tank you have there. What other fish interest you that you may wanna add?

[afrancis97]

Thanks! I was thinking of adding some kind of bottom dweller/scavenger. Adding maybe a few more tetras and I really like dwarf gouramis. Trying to be careful with choices, from what I read BH tetras can get nippy if not kept in a decent school size. I have 8 now since I just purchased 2 more today.

You could many try some snails or some Amano Shrimp.

Do you currently have snails in your tank? What are your experiences with these?

Thanks!

I don't have any shrimp in my tanks, but II have heard that Amano Shrimp are larger and hardier than some other freshwater shrimp. I do have two Zebra Nerites in my Betta tank, and he is very aggressive, but they have done fine with him.

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome! I think I am going to go with a couple snails for an invertebre. I'll read up on the zebras... I heard mystery snails are pretty good too.
