Rocking a crabshell for a hat.
This would be for my empty 55 gallon. It's 48"L x 13"W x 20"H. And yes, it's been sitting for about a year and I'm going crazy with it empty. But I can't decide what to do; which is also making me crazy.
I'm trying to decide between these two setups:
Tropical Community
- 6 to 8 rainbow fish, possibly marci
- 6 glass catfish
- 8 cories
- and whatever else to round out a peaceful community
Pros for me would be that I've always wanted rainbows, but have no room for them. Also, my hubby has always loved glass cats. I'm not sure if cories would be too active for the glass cats, but I've never kept cories and I would like to watch their group dynamics... I love group dynamics and always find that interesting.
Or Coldwater Community
- 3 goldfish (at least 1 or 2 oranda)
- 3 dojo/weather loaches, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus
- and 5 to 6 american flagfish, Jordanella floridae
Pros for me on this setup is that I think goldfish are great... like aquatic puppies. I know they're not popular with alot of other people, but I like them. Plus I loved to keep and watch the weather loaches and their behaviours. I round the tank out with flagfishes since they are colorful and different. Temperature wise they should work, but I don't know about their personalities. I don't want any aggression.
Any inputs are appreciated!
