    New Again, Got a 55 gal Aquarium

    Conditioner, python water changer are ordered. Question on air stones…. What’s appropriate for a 55g? Ice never had one and don’t want to get the wrong thing. What size airline tubing and how long and is it best to have a long stone or little ones? Or a circular disc?

    New Again, Got a 55 gal Aquarium

    No I can’t use any filters from any other tanks. In my past experience live plants did nothing but make a mess. I tried.. utter fail. I will have my water tested. Variety of food is a good plan. I figured to get the flakes to start so I had something

    Damasoni cichlid

    Yes... And I won't now... I have a 20g L I may use for a pair of GBR and some sort of tetras. The 29 is awkward to clean... and I like the shape of the 20g L and 40g better...

    Damasoni cichlid

    8-12 total cichlids you mean, right? I could do my Demasoni, a yellow lab, etc? At a certain point wouldn't I realize a few have paired off or females were holding?

    New: Opaline Gourami!

    Sounds awesome! Yay!! I'm wondering if his blue will darken at all or stay the super light blue. I know his black stripes were duller and darkened within 30 mins of being in the tank.

    New: Opaline Gourami!

    Do you think some of those issues might pop up as he gets older? He's in a tank with mollies and a Platy. So far in the last 3 days he'a gotten along with everyone. He was shy at first and would dart away in a flash when he saw me but now he's coming out more and swimming around more contently...
