    Dustin. I own a 55 gallon. And at the moment I have one Koi Angelfish that’s about 4.5” - 5” housed with your nemesis...Discus. I have 2 red, 2 torquoise, and a solid blue discus. I would even like to add a black knife fish. I know people have some reservations about angels and discus being housed together. But I haven’t had any issues. A fellow hobbyists told me to add the discus first and let them get settled before I added the angels. I took his advice and I haven’t had any issues.

    Very fun video. I would go heavily planted with 50+ rummy nose tetra and a 12 Cory cats. And for those who would say that is over stocked I say that it is producing way less wast than the 2 fancy goldfish that I would do as an alternative.

    Aww. Poor Karen ❤️
    I have goldfish in 3 of my 55 gallon tanks. I finally got a few Koi Angels. One I adopted along with a HUGE pleco and Rafael cat. I picked up two little Koi Angels at my local shop thinking at least one would be opposite to the one I had. Turned out they are a pair! The adopted one is a female and larger. She laid eggs thus making my ability to know what she was. ( her name is Sunshine and yes, she is a sassy girl! Lol!)
    I’d like to turn at least one 55 into a community tank someday.
    And way to go with that awesome neighbor, anti- lady !!

    I still love my Madagascar rainbows. They are hardier than the boesemani I have kept. They have awesome personality. Their colours aren't as in your face as other rainbows but they still have a nice assortment of colours. Madagascar rainbows get big so you do probably need a bigger tank than a 55 (depending on how good you are at maintenance schedules), but I just wanted to shout out an underrated rainbow. :)

    What?! I am quite surprised that you didnt mention neon tetras. I love 55 gallon tanks though. Just big enough to have lots of fish, but not overwhelming in size to care for. I personally have a 33 long which is the same dimension as the 55 but 12 inches tall. I have mostly guppies in it and a few glowlight tetras. Personally in a 55 I would do guppies and then either bloodfin or neon tetras.

  • @DesignsByTRex
    @DesignsByTRex 3 года назад +3

    I decided to challenge the idea that you cant have a nice planted tank with cichlids by adding jungle val, crypts, hygrophila carymbosa, and just a few java fern and anubias. The plants are grown in dense enough into the substrate that the fish will swim through the growth but they do not disturb the and uproot the substrate or eat the plants.
    and of course all the plants were purchased from you!

    After your first little 5, 10, or 20 step up to a 40 breeder. 15 gallons less than a 55 sure but it has a larger footprint and more room for scaping. Get down with a banging hard scrape and HEAVILY plant. Put in a school of danios and 8 dwarf puffers. Then move up to a 75 for your first really big tank.

    Bosemani in a 55gallon? Way too small tank. At least 100 gallons recommended.
    Angelfish: tank has to be at least 2 feet high.
    Feeding my Rhinogobius is very easy: I feed them with a long tube to the bottom.
    I keep/kept Rhinogobius, (very rare) goodeids, small rainbows, danios, minnows and in particular PSEUDOMOGIL (blue eyes) in my 55g tanks.
