Would GBR's work? I was looking at some different rams and really like the look of them

Hard Water

Hey all I've been keeping fish for about 2 years now and would say I'm avid in the hobby. I started with a 20 gallon, and have worked my way up to a 55, and after an outbreak in my tank about 2 months ago I can now confidently say it has been irradicated. I am looking to restock my tank, which...

Alright, thanks. I think I'm gonna go with just a betta when I get the tank. It should look nice planted (probably gonna add a plakat betta, I've always wanted one!)

That sounds good, would I be able to do some dwarf shrimp as well? Or with that footprint, would the betta make a quick snack of them ?

A mini riparium sounds cool, would I be able to put anything in it or would it just be planted?

I'm not at my parents house now, but I found a pic of it online. Here is a link as well https://www.petsmart.com/fish/starter-kits/top-fin-fascinate-column-starter-kit-5277169.html

Hey all, so about a year ago I gifted my sister a 10 gallon column tank. (I know realise that they aren't the best footprint 12.5" x 12.5" x 19.5") It turned out to be a complete failure. So I was wondering if there was anything that did well in a tall tank? I was thinking about doing a beta and...

My dimensions are 21 x 13 x 48. My GH is 225 ppm. KH is 180 ppm, and PH is 7.6. I have heard that the dwarf Mexican crayfish are a lot more peaceful and can be kept in a tank with fish(this could be wrong).

Hey y'all, so I recently finished setting up my 55 gallon planted tank and want to start stocking. Right now I only have a couple of amano shrimp (can be moved if neccessary) and wanted to add some fish. How does this sound? Are their any obvious mistakes? 9x Emperor Tetras 9x Blue King Tetras...

Howdy all, I recently set up my 55 gallon planted aquarium and wanted to stock it. I originally wanted a school of black emperor tetras, but then I stumbled upon the leopard bush fish. I would love to put one of them in my tank(I couldn't put them together right?) and also if are there any...

I do like the way bleeding heart tetras look, so I might go with a school of them. Just to start prep now, what should I have my tanks set at (temp)? And any recommendations on corydoras types?

Alright, good to know! I will look into some floating plants and changing the sand. In the meantime, would their be any "centerpiece" fish you would reccomend? And if I went with black neons how many should I put in?

So I wasn't planning on getting floating plants, would any of those species work well without them? I would love to do a school of either black neon tetras or serpae tetras as well as a pair of apistos, would any of that work? Also I think I definetly will go with a school of Cory's for the...

I definetly want to add the emperor tetras, and would like to know what kind of tank mates would work. It is a standard 55 Gallon. My parameters are ph: 7.6 GH: 140 ppm KH: 170 ppm. Thanks for the advice!

Hey all, so I have recently finished setting up my 55 Galon planted (Ferts, and Root Tabs) and was considering stocking options. I would primarily love to do emperor tetras, and some other fish. I would love to add an angelfish and some gourami of some kind (if possible) to tank and maybe some...

Hey all, so I recently set up my 55 Gallon tank and is planted(ferts,El). I was looking to get into some different stocking ideas. I was wondering what you all thought about what I should stock it with. I am in the process of growing a monte carlo carpet, so It must be compatible with this. If...

Thanks for all the suggestions, I will definitely take them into consideration. But, I am still looking for an answer reguarding my original question. Thanks!

I am using no C02, but am extending the light period(not increasing light). I am dosing El, but I guess I could stop if that is the best option. I currently have Black diamond blasting sand and am working on growing a carpet. Thanks!

Hope this helps!

The tank is 48" x 21" x 12" or something around there I dont remember exactly, but it is a 55 standard. My ph is 7.5 and my GH is around 150 ppm.

Hey all, so I recently set up my 55 gallon planted (El and ferts) and was looking into differnent stocking options. I have boiled it down to a couple different options my main one, being congo tetras and some sort of rainbowfish (I absolutely love the way the two fish look) and if possible I...

What kinds of fish would work then? Smaller tetras and rasporas? This is my first time keeping shrimp and want to do it right.

Hey all, so I recently set up my 55 gallon and wanted to know what fish I could add. I am in the process of starting a colony of shrimp. (it is a semi-planted tank) I was really interested in getting some Congo tetras, but didn't know because of their size if they would eat them. What other fish...

Hey all, so I recently set up my 55 gallon and am have cycled it for 2 weeks now, I wanted to get into aquascaping it, but wanted to know what fish I was putting in it. I really liked the idea of a flowerhorn (I have always wanted one), bit didnt know if they could fit in a 55. If not do you...

Any Idea as to how many I can put in the tank if I am soing a species only? I know they can get territorial, but the more the better Cant wait to get them!

Hey all, so I recently set up my 55 gallon and wanted to put some other fish in as well. I would like to put three figure 8 puffers in, and was wondering if there any other fish that could work with them? I have heard of some mollies and gobies working, but I kind of wanted something a little...
