I am wanting to get my 55 gallon tank back up and running for my 3 year old son. I was wanting to do nice size schooling of smaller fish and have one main fish like a beta or something colorful. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of what types of fish would be good for that?

Replaced my marineland biowheel filter today with an ac70. ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm going to pick up my filter later on today after I pick up my son. I will be sure to cut up the old media and stuff it into the new filter. I'm so excited I had been overthinking the whole seeding process in my head. Thanks y'all!! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have an ac 50 on the other side I just added a couple of weeks ago so I wouldn't be able to run it at the same time but i will do the latter option! Thank you so much!!! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a marineland biowheel on my 55 gallon and I've been wanting to switch it to a fluval aquaclear filter. But they use two different types of media so how would I be able to seed my existing BB to the new filter so I wouldn't put my tank through a new cycle process. My marineland has been...

I just started going to a new doctor office and they have a salt water tank and they have what look like little tiny star fish all over the glass. Is that what they are or could anybody tell me what they are, I am so curious! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I was only feeding once a day but I've recently started feeding twice a day.They are like little piranhas when they eat lol my sons loves it. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

They have chased them a little bit but I haven't seen them bother them too much yet. Sometimes the Rams chase them off, they seem better about being able to keep away from the barbs. But I also haven't had the Rams for very long. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

They are so fun to watch and stay so active but they can be little bullies. Which I knew before I got them but I think I just need to add more plants or something for my corys to hide in. I don't know how to keep them from nipping my new plant growth though. My current stock is: Cory cat x6...

Added two new tank mates. ?? hard to get a picture of them. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
