    My guess would be hard water, unless you also smoke inside your house

    Love the hard scrape what a cool tank!

    Dwarf Rainbows, Hatchetfish they’d match the general size of the rest of your stock. Really any type of rainbow would fit what you’re looking for!

    IME otos aren’t as delicate as everyone makes em out to be. Have them in all my tanks ranging in different water parameters.

    I also keep mine with some ember tetras, harlequin rasbora, a GBR and some Amano shrimp. So not a species only tank for me clearly. I added the pea puffers young and as the last in and luckily for me they realized everyone as as buddies

    I’ve got a shoal of 7 in a 29g!

    Not sure what kind of filtration you’re running but a decent 30-60g HOB and a sponge you can get away with a lot. I like rams in 20/29g and if you want the color of guppies check out Endler’s, I’d get 6-8 males only and not worry about the breeding. I like the idea of Panda Corys for it as well! No matter what you decide you’ll be happy, my 29g is one of my favorite tanks. You could even look into micro/nano fish like Chili Rasbora, or Kubotai Rasbora, or Celestial Pearl Danio and get away with a decent size school of 12-20 of em to go with a ram or two and 4-6 small species corydoras! Just my two cents

    What is your setup on a tank like this? Didn’t know you could get away with that many cichlids in a 55g!

    I have an idea and I am looking for guidance as if it is a good idea or not. This will be my 6th tank and I am looking to do something a little bit different. I have recently gotten a new 60g tank with stand and a large cannister filter. I am curious to the idea of stocking this decent sized tank with a massive amount of nano/micro freshwater fish and ornamental shrimp obviously being heavily planted. Is this a good idea? I haven't really seen any forum posts anywhere about nano fish in anything larger than a 29g tank. Stocking Ideas so far: Chili Rasbora, CPD, Kubotai, Ember Tetra, Green Neon Tetra, Black Neon Tetra, WCMM, & Yellow Neocaridina. Should be quite the rainbow effect of colors going on. I am worried about trying Endler's and accidentally getting just one female and being saturated with livebearers. Pygmy Sunfish maybe? Killifish or halfbeaks? Are there any other ideas or suggestions? I would like to do Scarlett Badis but know that wouldn't end well for the shrimp, I have a lot of really good lfs that can pretty much order anything so any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

    Haha always been more of a Frito man myself! I like where you're headed

    The only African Cichlids I've kept are dwarf multies, outside of a couple smaller lake Tang cichlids I didn't think any could fit in anything <75 gallons, yellow labs would work you think?

    I would not let temps get below 80 with a GBR, they really prefer it rather toasty which unfortunately most their tank mates do not. Mine have always gotten along well with other fish, shrimp on the other hand I do not have first hand experience but I think it could be problematic.

    Thank you, I really appreciate the compliment! I've been thinking a black or dark blue/green back ground if I went brackish to imitate an estuary. Those rocks are Texas Holey Rock or Honeycomb Limestone, I'm sure there are a dozen other names but its a common buffer rock for cichlid tanks when you need a higher pH or hardness.

    Looking for some suggestions on what I could stock this tank with? I've been leaning towards brackish with a figure 8 puffer and maybe a goby or two, but I'm really liking these plants and I'm not sure if they will survive the acclimation. So I am curious what kind of sorta exotic freshwater hardwater fish y'all have in mind, I have guppies and mollies in other tanks (obviously not "exotic") so I am not looking down the livebearer path. There are some awesome nook and crannies in here for caves, so maybe some Rams or Badis maybe? Thank you for any and all advice or stocking ideas!

    I am a big fan of Rhombo "Snakeskin" barbs. Contrary to being a "Barb" these guys in my experience are very passive and peaceful fish. These guys and Rummy Nose Tetras are my "schooling" fish in my big community tank. In a 15 gal tank I think you could easily get away with having 4-6.
