55 gallon

HI, :)   This is just an update on my tank to those who have replied to my recent topics.   I rehomed my Reedfish, I know he's happier with a bigger tank and 3 other Reeds to keep him company.   My keyhole has started showing signs of improvement. I treated her in the medical tank with a broad...

I'm cycling a new 55 gallon fish tank for my elephant nose fish community. I put about 30% water from my 75 gallon tank into it, and the carbon pack from the other filter. I also put one of the large decorations into it to try and put as much bacteria in there as possible. I also put a small...
