Looks stunning! Love the tank

Hi Guys Hoping u can help, I currently have a 55 gallon tank with: 12 Rummy’s 6 Neons 7 Male Guppy’s 5 Corydoras 5 Swordtails 3 Cardinals 1 BN Pleco How many Cherry shrimp would I be able to add to this set up? I’ve heard they have a very low bio load? Many thanks

Yea true ok I’ll have a think. Cheers again

Thanks for the advise, and yes sorry I meant to say I have 5 juvenile clown Loach. The longterm plan is to upgrade to a 6ft tank in the next year or so. I’m not sure whether to risk the Betta with the guppies then, I may just hold out for a while until there’s no guppies left to be safe

Hi Guys I have a 55 gallon tank with clown Loach, corydoras, rummy nose tetras, cardinals, 3 male guppies & a bristelnose pleco. I really wanted to add a male betta? Would it work with 3 male guppies? There’s a lot of tall plants in the tank with lots of hiding places/ornaments as well. Many...

Hi guys I have a 55 gallon tank and I recently bought some SAE’s, just wondering if they would be compatible with a male Betta (Siamese Fighting Fish) as I would like to get a male Betta in the future. Many thanks

Ok thanks for your help, and yes I’ve just picked up some genuine SAE’s today, I’ll be getting some Anglefish in the future.

Hi All, Just wondering if Angelfish & Siamese Algae Eaters are compatible? Ideally wanted to have a small group of SAE’s in my 55 gallon tank to get rid of the black beard algae. I will be switching to RO water from Maidenhead Aquatics soon which should help but obviously this will take time...

Yea those blue ones look stunning! I rarely see them in the stores though. I’ll keep an eye out as I might get 2 blues and 2 others. Thanks for all your advice/help mate much appreciated

Ok great that’s decided that then I think I’ll go with 4 in a community tank and see how I get on. Can u get different types/colours of angelfish as in could I have 4 different looking Angel fish or 2 pairs of the different looking and they all still get along? Or is it best to just have 1 type?

Yea I did hear if you have odd numbers it helps with aggression but no idea whether it’s true. I’ll have a little think as I’m torn between whether to go for 4 Angels in a species only tank and have some tall plants & ornaments to break up the vision a bit or a Community tank with a pair.

Ok thanks for getting back to me much appreciated

Hi Everyone, I’ve got a 55 gallon tank (tropical) was thinking of getting some Angelfish in the future, what’s the best number to get for a 55 gallon? It will be a mainly Angelfish species only tank aside from some Corydoras at the bottom. Also how many Angelfish would be a good number if I...
