Welcome!!!!!!! Sounds like you have a good tank, although I agree with Mrc8858, you should definitely go bigger, and get another tank! Try moving onto something more challenging, like a biotope or saltwater! :)

I think the API kits cost around 30-40$. You can sometimes find them on MarineDepot.com for cheaper though. Hmmm another filter could be overkill, and youreally don't need to put a lot of oxygen in the water. My fish lived long and happy lives and I didn't add another filter or put extra air...

According to Liveaquaria.com your knifefish is going to get really big, I really wouldn't add too much more into the tank

Hmmmmm...Discus? Figure eight puffers? Amazon Leaf Fish?

NEVER follow the directions on the container, or petsmart. Feeding them as much as they can eat in 5 minutes is WAAAAAY too much! Just sprinkle some food in the tank ONCE a day and make sure all the fish get some. There is no real directions on how much to feed your fish. If you feed them once...

Wow, looks great! good luck!

Actually, when I first started the hobby 2 years ago, I added 3 goldfish and two tetras in a 5g! Luckily the guy at the lfs told me I was WAY overstocked! I took the goldfish back and added 3 more tetras.

Ok, I'm going to build a tank, and can't choose between the options! A 55g Mudskipper/figure eight puffer brackish tank A 75g Volcano Reef Tank A 60g Co2 Planted Amazon Biotope A 5g Dwarf Seahorse Tank Or all of them!:brows:

I remember when i got a 5g two years ago, i knew next to nothing about the hobby! So i added 3 golfish and two tetras. Thank goodness i had a good lfs! the guy told me i was WAY overstocked, and i returned my golfish and got three more tetras.

Do both if you can, but I vote for the co2 planted!

What about endler's livebearers?

You could add fake coral, or put plants in the back.
