    Is it good for the fish to do full water changes?

    It depends. If the pH, temperature etc... is exactly the same, then it's safe. Also, as long as there is sufficient good bacteria in the filter, and it's not harmed when doing water changes, then it's safe. Having said that, I wouldn't do a 100% water change. I would do several 50% water...

    1000 gallon Tank: FW or SW?

    I think a well-planted freshwater setup >>>>>>> saltwater. Saltwater setups are more colorful. But a FW setup can look just as impressive if done correctly.

    Are Discus really that hard?

    Not hard per se. They just require a bit more STRICT maintenance. Discus are sensitive fish. And they cannot tolerate poor water quality, unlike hardy fish. So you have to be a little more dedicated if you want to keep them healthy and thriving.

    Cant Decide.... stocking 220

    Why do you need both a Pleco AND catfish ??? Pick only 1. They both have huge bioloads. And poop alot! I personally would pick the catfish. For the rest of your tankmates, choose 1 oddball fish (eel, bichir etc...). Then fill the rest with a small school of silver dollars. 1 Jardini 1...

    Tiger barbs?

    A nice combination for your 55 gallon is... A school of 8 Tiger Barbs, 1 redtail-black shark, 1 gourami. It's a cool biotope setup. In a BIG tank (over 100 gallons), Tiger Barbs and Clown Loaches are the ultimate combination! They are from the same biotope and school together. It's really...

    Old bolivian ram chasing new bolivian ram
