Hey guys, finally guy got my tank (Fluval 55) and have been cycling it since last saturday, last few days though I have gotten some test results which I am a little confused by, I keep the water temp around 78-80 degrees, pH is 7.6, I added ammonia the first day, and monitored it, adding only if...

Hmm, so glad I found this forum, saves me asking lfs guys who don't know anything, one other question on the aggression side, when I was picking up my test kits, was wandering the fish, checking out the cichilids,, mainly the demasoni (crazy looking) how do they do with fish other than their own...

The gouramis aren't bad, will have to see them in person, I had thought about a rainbow or red tail shark, but do they get aggressive with other fish to or just other sharks?

What do you recommend as a centrepiece? I like the idea of larger schools

I like the Tigers, and Denisons, don't think I would do any long finned fish, not a fan of angels or the like

Quick update (again) just got my kH test done, according to this it's 110, provided I did it right

That's awesome, I wasn't sure about the cory's, saw a couple of them, but wasn't sure, though I do like the look of the Sterbas (spelling?) Cory, and I do like Barbs, just want to make sure everyone will get along before I stock it out (after the cycle of course)

That was my plan, figured I would ask suggestions here, you folks know more about it than I.   As for the kH test, lfs was out of that kit when I was there, going to a different one tomorrow after work to get it, Ninjou, would love to know your stocking to give me some ideas

Just a quick update to this, just ran my pH test (API Masters Freshwater) water is at 7.6

Not yet, figured I would find the best fish to go with, then set up the tank to keep them happy, will get the sand/gravel/whatever, plants and all that fun stuff at roughly the same time, to avoid constant trips to get new stuff

Absolutely, from what I've seen at lfs and internet, they look pretty awesome, plan on getting my testing done tomorrow so I can update this with proper ph numbers etc

That was my thought to, will probably ditch the Bala idea, haven't got my testing done yet, not getting tank until friday, so I know I don't have all the info that would be helpful in suggestions, once I have that will throw it on here, as for preferences, the more colorful the better imo...

Hey all, new to this, haven't had a fish tank in a long time, am getting a 55 gallon, will be starting to cycle it next week, need some advice on stocking it, did some basic research around, plan was to get a couple of Bala Sharks, figured while they grow I can save up for the bigger tank they...
