Hi,

I was looking for freshwater fish that can live in a 55 gallon tank that might not be exactly a “community fish” and can be somewhat aggressive, or at least ward off attacks if another fish was in pursuit.

Do you know of any fish that would fit the description?

Thanks!

I’m looking to get a oscar, How much would it cost for the decor, gravel, water treatments, cleaning instruments, water conditioners, etc. Also what are the dimensions (LxWxH) of a 55 gallon tank?

I am looking for good cummunity fish with lots of colors and different breed. I would also like to know what types of fish I could put with a Blue Crayfish. Any info would be great.

I’ve had a 16 gallon tank for about 4 years now and some of my original fish have finally begun to die off :[ If you have any suggestions of hopefully non-aggressive fish that you’ve had great success with please let me know!
I currently have two tiny algae eaters, this weird eel thing that always hides, three tiny schooling fish (not barbs, but smaller) and a snail.

I don’t know what filters or air pumps I need to maintain a freshwater aquarium. I want to do as little maintenance as possible. Biological, mechanical, chemical filters????? Could you give me a specific example of which ones (with brand names) to get that work together well in keeping the water clean and clear?? I understand the temperature and the nitrification and ph and all that, I just don’t know what filters and pumps to use. It is a 20 gallon tank.

I have a very random 50 gallon tank. Currently in my tank are:

1 - 7″ Rainbow Shark
1 - 3″ Knight Goby
1 - 1″ Female Swordail (her mates were eaten
1 - 3″ Angelfish
3 - 2″ Clown Loaches
2 - 4″ Pearl Gouramis
6 - 1″ Serpae Tetras

I have a lot of bottom dwelling fish. I know that the Knight Goby is a brackish fish, but he has thrived in my tank for well over 2 years now. I refuse to put any barb in my tank, for I have never had barbs that aren’t mean. I love Rams, but I worry about them in the same tank as my angel, who is quite peaceful. I’m looking for some more color as well as some movement. Most of my fish are very dorment. Neons seem to last a little while, but the shark eventually gets to them. In the past I’ve had Diamond Tetras, Rainbow Danios, and Dalmation Mollies. One other option I’ve had before is Dwarf Gouramis but they seem to be kind of a dorment fish as well. I’m looking for something different, any suggestions? Thank you for your help. (Sorry for the long post)
Thank you for all of your responses. I have been keeping fish for many years, and I’m not a big believer in the 1″ per 1 gallon philosophy. But I do respect those who are. It is important to realize my tank is not a typical long rectangle. It is extremely tall and very well covered with rocks and plants. All fish have ample hiding places. I’m not looking to add lots of fish, just looking for 1 or 2 odd/different/not typical fish that you see everywhere. I know my loaches will grow, but with a small bottom area of my tank, their growth should be stunted before they get too big. Thank you so much for your responses!
