55 Gallon Tank

[saeckao]

Here's my first 'big' tank. It is a 55 gallon tank community tank.



Fish:
13 harlequin rasboras
6 blackskirt tetras
1 zebra danio
2 kribs
2 paradise fish
1 german blue ram
1 common pleco

Is my tank overstocked? Tell me what you think of it.



Some pics of the fish.

If you read the fish profile for zebra danios it says they like to be in groups of 6 or more

Also I think when your common pleco is bigger it might need a bit bigger tank, im no expert but this is just what ive gathered from reading stuff on this forum, apart from that it looks pretty good.

Thank you all for you comments. About my fish, I had a group of 6 zebra danios but I found the rest of them dead one morning. I never figured out what happened. Yeah I realize that the pleco will keep on growing, but for now I don't have room for another tank. As for the paradise fish, they actually get along fine. I bought a male and a female from the same tank at a LFS so they had already been around one another for awhile I guess. The male does occassionally chase the other one, but nothing viscious yet. Thanks again for your comments and suggestions, I will keep them in mind.

beautiful tank & fish. are they real plants???

 

[saeckao]

Nah, the plants are not real. They are silk and plastic. I would love to be able to keep real plants like that, but I still consider myself a beginner in this wonderful hobby. Maybe some day in the future with help from this forum I will attempt to keep live plants. Thank you for your comments.
