    New 55 Gallon Tank

    If you use cooking oil in a spray bottle And spray it on your back drop/background pic it will stick and be much more vivid. Just a friendly suggestions/ tip. Great looking tank, I like the drift wood a lot its shaped nicely. The lights look cool too.

The first night he was in the tank he hid, and I didn't see him all day. The next morning he was out swimming in the front of the tank, I figured he was hungry...

    Sparkling gouramis & Angelfish....

    OK. Thank you for the advice. So I should house these guys in a different tank. What would be your recommendations to housing them in with other gouramis? Such as a pearl or gold?? They are both female and I haven't seen any fighting from them ever. The other fish in the tank would be cherry...
