Tank Redocorating

[bshockstubb]

Well, Ive had this new 55 gallon tank for about 6-7 months now. Well, my oringinal plan was to have a livebearers paridise with a micture of plastic and live plants...Sorta like a jungle with one big rocky center piece. Well due to money, it wasn't what i had hoped for. But since to a recent birthday, i have some extra spending money to help redo this tank. Here is what is it now...

Fish
5 Pearl Danios
1 Zebra danio
4 Spotted Corys
2 bronze Corys
4 Black skirt tetra
2 undied parrot fish
----1 choco or common pleco havenbt diecided yet
(have them in my ten decided which one to put in)

Hardware

UGF, 1 powerhead, rocks(flag stone) and structures, plastic plants, gravel and others

Heres th link to some old pictures. http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=44665 or if your lazy.... PICS

Well, I need suggestions on the fish. I need something that won't mess with my danios and wont get eaten by by cichlids or tetra. Reember that this has very fast moving water.

But my idea for the tank is to have a main structure in the middle, not sure what i should do witht the ruins....But then surrond that with a whole bunch of plants!

How about 3 young clown loaches? They like the hiding places. Oh and put the common plec in the 55 as they get way too big for even that big a tank, not to mention a 10 gallon.

Well, I am going to move both plecos in..but im keeping them in there to clean up all the alage. I think i have enough bottom feeders, i am looking for others.

Well i just got back from the LFS...they had my special(and healhy0 fish i ordered....I got 2 male red dwarf groumis(wanted a female, but it came as an male ) and I got two swordtails....I am planning to put my groumis in my big tank(55) and put the swordtails insteaad of the big tank in with the mollies in the 40 gallon....sound good?

Really? I just caught some molly fry(they were eating them and everything....kinda gross but I geuss thats how things are. My female "sword" looks like a female molly though...I hav never kept swordtails but they cant be that hard next to ive kept guppies, mollies, platys and gumbusia. So does that sound good? Also i have 2 male dwarf gouramis....they seem to get along right now...later on, should i only get males so they wont fight over the female?
