Well, I plan to add a gold guorami to complement the blue as well as a blue ram. I just need to get my ph down first... its 8.2, far to high for a blue ram.

I have a 55 gallon, with the fish listed below in my sig. Its got a few live plants, overall a nice enviroment. I would like to add perhaps a cory and a blue ram. Do I have room?

Well, two days ago I got my tank. It was a pretty good deal, a 55 gallon, two big ol filters, gravel, a few decorations, and a lid for 99 bucks. Heres the setup: I have gotten the filters going (Ive had two tanks before) and put in some algae eater and "tap water make safe" liquid. (Im not...
