I have two plecos and two red tailed sharks that came with the tank. What fish would go well with these, and if anyone has any good tips on taking care of the fish, please feel free!
If you want an non- aggresive tank you can always rehome the sharks and the pleco . Craiglist is a good place. I always rehome with a little bit of food and a small rehoming fee. I know that some aquarium shops will take them and you sometimes can get credit to buy other fish from them.
I have a peaceful community tank in my 55 gal. tank. I have 2 Angelfish, 2 Boesmani Rainbow fish, 2 Bushy Nosed Plecos they only get 4-5 Max in size, 11 Rio Congo Orange Tetras, 6 Harlequen Rasboras, 3 Fancy Guppies, 14 Assassin snails. It's just that if you rehome the fish that you got with the tank you can put together a nice group of fish that can co-exist together or have a species only tank.
Are plecos aggressive at all towards other fish? Also, can Calico Ryukin Goldfish go with plecos or any other fish other than Goldfish? I'd be rehoming the red tail sharks if I got the goldfish or other types.
If these are common plecos, they will outgrow a 55g tank. Common plecos will grow well over a foot (up to 18" or more). There are smaller species of pleco that would be just fine in a tank of that size, though. Red-tailed sharks would be fine in the tank but I would suggest only having one as they can be really territorial with one another.
Do you know that pH and hardness of your water? That would help in making stocking suggestions.
Ok, slight change in tank set up. Right now I've got two placos and one blue gourami. PH has sat at 7.6 since the day I started it, tried to lower it the second day, but after that it just kind of sits at 7.6, and from what I understand, that's not a problem as long as it stays stable and it has. What other things do I need to test for, kinda new at this. Any help is appreciated.
What kind of fish can go in with a blue gourami and two plecos? I'm pretty sure my plecos are gold nugget plecos. Anything else I should be keeping an eye on besides my Ph? Also, how often should I clean the tank and what's the easiest way to clean it?
