Hello, I want to make some drastic changes to my tank. I have a 55-gallon freshwater community tank; all of the plants have died and I am down to 4 small fish and some snails. None of the fish, decor/plants were specific to any region or "theme". I am interested in changing all of the...

Congrats!! Beautiful tank!

Thank you. :)

Thank you, they are Melanotaenia boesemani (aka rainbow fish)

Thank you! :cool:

Thank you! :-) At first I thought the issue was my heater malfunctioning. It spiked to 90+ degrees Fahrenheit within the first few days. (32+ degrees Celsius) I added some ice to cool the water a bit while I performed a water change to get the temp back down. I bought a new heater right...

Just googled the description and came up with yoyo. ;)

Thanks for the welcome! I have tried angelfish, tetras, cory cats, boesmani rainbows, peacock rainbows, rasboras, horse-head loach, black ghost knifefish and most disappointing, discus. The angelfish, rainbows, rasboras, loach and knifefish lived the longest. The discus died within a week...

Livin' life to the fullest!

Thank you! :-)

Hi! This is my first time to participate in any kind of forum. My husband recommended it because ever since I moved to Arizona I haven't had much luck keeping fish. I have had my 55 gallon since 2005 (lived in Colorado then Texas) and kept the same fish for almost seven years! They were so...
