I got the TopFin 55 gallon starter kit with LED light hoods and all for Christmas and I just got it all set up yesterday. I am not new to aquariums but I am new to sand substrate and a larger aquarium. I tested the water today and the parameters were: 0 ammo, 0 nitrites, 0 nitrates, and 7.5 pH. So I'm guessing the cycle hasn't started. I have some filter media in the new topfin 75 filter it came with and I also have my already cycled AC 30 filter running in if as we'll.
My fiancée is bringing me her two angel fish and her pleco to rehome in this 55. Along with her AC 30 filter as well. I know to test water every day and do water changes every time I have ammonia until it is cycled.
Now, I am wondering what all I can put in this tank. I already have:
14 glofish
3 Otocinclus catfish
Quite a few red cherry shrimp
I am getting:
2 medium sized angels
1 medium pleco
I want to know if I can add maybe:
2 or 3 clown or botias loaches
3 or 4 Cory's
2 more angels
And I was thinking about a Pictus catfish
But might go with upside down cat or synodontis cat.
Here is the tank. It is cloudy right now for some reason.
