I started off with a small 5 gallon tank with 3 guppies and an african frog and I fell in love with the hobby. Like obsessed lol. Im trying to convince my gf to let me get a 55 gallon lol

Currently have a 55 with angelfish, dwarf gouramis, platys, corydoras, nerite snails and a bristlenose pleco. Its a good combo that provides action on every level of the tank and they get along really well.

Great video, I’m happy that you included goldfish in the list. I keep goldfish in my bedroom, and they are the best thing to watch before going to sleep.

Dude, I came here from your pros and cons 55gal vid and I’m overwhelmed (good thing) about how many options you have. So much to think about. Thanks!

We just had a 55 gallon long given to us… I am upgrading from a 29 long. I decided to get 2 HOB filters each rated for 30 gallon tanks, & lots of plants, natural rocks & driftwood which I already had. It’s cycling right now with Malaysian trumpet & bladder snails & fish food. Of course I got Fritzyme 7, Seachem Prime, easy green, flourish & flourish advance… I have a DIY CO2 tank w/2 bubblers as well. Hopefully this will be the last tank I set up lol I am going to put all my nano fish in it & a few extras + Cherry Shrimp 😍🪴🐟🐠🐌🦐🪵🪨

I took your advice and got six Geophagus Tapajos and three Electric Blue Acaras. I’m loven em!!! Absolutely beautiful fish and fun to watch. Thank you for the work you put in to your videos. I live in South Central Wisconsin. Hopefully I can make it to one of the aquatic seminars and shows in Milwaukee or Chicago. I’m 63 and have a few physical problems. One is chronic pain so it make traveling not so fun. But through you and others like you I get to see these places through your videos. Thank you and God bless!!!

I do run an Mbuna 55 gallon myself and while it’s mostly worked in the year I’ve had it running I do agree with your suggestion that a Johanni isn’t the best for a 55 community. My other fish get along just fine though. Listed below here are the fish 2 Female Bumblebee cichlids, 1 male bumblebee, 1 male johanni(who is also my tank boss who mates with all the females), 1 female albino socolofi cichlid, 1 male blue zebra(who my johanni loves picking a fight with), 1 female blue zebra, 1 male red zebra, 1 female red zebra, 2 female labs, 2 male labs, 2 female aruautus cichlids. A bit over stocked I know, I run two 350 penguins and a small magnum canister filter for filtration along with a 550gph powerhead. I may rehome some of these fish down the line and see where it’ll go for there. With my big guy mating all the time I also have fry that live and escape into the rock cracks and they’re thriving haha, great video!

Cool thanks for the video, for me i like to stock up clown loaches with tiger bards veil fin, so their common colors will look fantastic :D

[crankedshaft]

Great video.Keep up the good work.I just bought my own 55 gallon and have planted the entire thing with dwarf hairgrass and used a simple aquas cape using river rock.

[catfishcave]

Fun video!
I would only add bigger schools of your smaller tetras!

I bred some seriously champion bred Red Headed tapajos year's ago. Awesome fish
