55 gallon planted

[StarOrbs]

I finally got my hood built and on top. All thats left now is the fish and the end of my fishless cycling. I'll be adding some more hiding places in the next few days which I'm currently working on. I'll be adding some more pictures once I get some fish.

thats a very nice tank! Is that the one you want to put the firmouths in?

 

[mwm]

Looks really nice!

 

[Sasha]

Great tank! It looks very good!

It was the one I wanted to put the firemouths in but I've heard chiclids like to destroy the plants like all non-dwarf chiclids. My plan right now is 3 Clown loaches (yes I know they get too big but I have plans for them once they outgrow it), 1 Red Fin or rainbow shark, 4 German Blue Rams, and 6 Rasboras. I made sure they are all compatible and within the correct water parameters too.

firemouths wont destroy those plants, they are not that bad... cichlids like cons would make a hella mess of plants... firemouths arent really known to did that much i dont think, or atleast mine dont

 

[StarOrbs]

Oh.. Well can firemouths be with any of the fish that are on that list of fish in my last reply?

 

[StarOrbs]

 

[fufanu360]

they would be ok with those fish, except the rasboras, unless the rasboras are pretty big

 

[daza]

[gaya]

[LoachLover]

Nice

 

[StarOrbs]

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

How does this sound? 4 Firemouths, 3 Clown Loaches (I have a plan once they outgrow the tank), 1 Rainbow Shark (I'v heard they are friendlier then red-tailed black shark), 4 Blue Rams...

 

[StarOrbs]

Yah, the only problem I have right now is my ph dropped to 6 for some reason I figured it was my CO2 so I slowed down the output but that didn't seem to change it. I'll have to figure out something soon. Oh yah and how does this sound:

4 Firemouths, 3 Clown Loaches (I have a plan once they outgrow the tank), 1 Rainbow Shark (I'v heard they are friendlier then red-tailed black shark), 4 Blue Rams...
