recently my husband and I moved to our new home in even more backwoods Pennsylvania. I asked about starting a larger fish tank and he approved (as long as I don’t spend too much cash) and up to 55 gallon tank.

So what do I put in this tank? I was thinking a guppy colony, or maybe angelfish finally. Let me know what you think. I’ll get water parameters soon from the new house, right now just looking for inspiration!
 
Do you know your water parameters hardness, General and Carbonate ?

It's a good starting point to find what fish would be compatible and happy.

Haven’t had a chance to find that out, it is well water though, just looking for suggestions about what would be happy in a 55 gallon
 
@Essjay and @JuiceBox52 I was thinking of doing 5 males from distinct lines, one white, one endler lyretail, one dumbo and 1 endler fancy guppy. Then getting, 1 female endler, 2 fancy females, 3 tiger females. I think that should give me enough diversity of bloodlines.
 
Since it’s well water it’s apt to be hard so a Guppy colony might be nice . Recently I saw a 55 with a sizable Guppy population in it and it was cool . A lot of visual activity .

Assuming the water is suitable for them there should be a lot of interesting fry from that assortment :)
