55 gallon planted fish tank, neon tetras, cherry barbs, fancy guppies, plates, danios, bettas

Hey, I'm going to have a similar fish setup as you except with oto catfish and it'll be a 40 gallon tank, but what kind of filter do you recommend I don't care a about noise but I do care if the water is really rough and it has to be able to filter pretty well also

[aznzealotxx]

@dinomarino666 i use the marineland emperor filter 400 gph model and another walmart brand filter, for a 40 gallon i believe a 280 gph model would be sufficient as long as you dont have a ton of fish. i have a 37 gallon tank as well so i would know...

[mshellyxoxo]

cherrybarbs can live with guppies and tetras?

cus i'm going to buy fishes soon and i have to make up my mind which species i should pick

[awhatzable]

what those floating plants called ?

@awhatzable; hornwort

barbs and some times tetras tend to fin nip, I keep my bettas with platies cory cats and african dwarf frogs, but if you can make it work more power to ya

[Bazil1869]

@whiteboypatrickkelly Again fin nipping isnt a big deal if you lots of plants a big tank and also depends on your fishes personality. My mate has a big 100 gallon tank with two male bettas in there and they dont fight unless one of them goes onto other side of tank.

Beautiful plants are they real? I have been having snails and they all ate my plants, which stressed my fish out so I had to buy some fake ones... lol

[LiliFromHali]

Those bettas look awesome! Such beautiful colours! And all your plants look great too! Do you inject co2 into the water? And what kind of light do you have?

[aznzealotxx]

Those are female bettas they will school together if u have at least 3. They will not kill each other

[jpjtbvid]

at 0:20 are those to bettas not fighting to the death?

[bobby050606]

do neon tetras and fancy gupies like each other oh and fiddler crabs

[jpjtbvid]

@bobby050606 yes neons and guppies get on well

I got a question i just started a 55g it was a tank for turtles and i cleaned it and put a plant grow light on it and black sand plant mix on the bottom and i have some swords and i put three small drift wood logs in there i really have no idea how to stock it the sand is established it was in a 55g for over 2yrs and i got it from a friend i really have no clue what to do now any ideas ?? Thanks and amazing tank btw

Also if some of your fish catch diseases, i really don't advise that you buy medicine to treat them unless the fish are very expensive. None of the fish in my tanks are over $3. It sounds cruel, but for a tank that size you will need a large dose of medicine to treat the whole tank. You will be doing more harm then good especially on a newly set up tank. When you go to the pet store, check their tanks for diseases, large chain stores like petsmart and petco are notorious diseases.

[Theunlimitedgeek]

[04mpojade]

[ddarden90]

very nice, what kind of substrate are you using.

[aznzealotxx]

its just regular gravel from petco, but i seriously advise against buying any fish from there

[tmaxxman33]

That is so cool.

[cmedeiros17]

Awesome.

[atsven8]

Awesome, the fish are very happy and healthy.
