My new 55g tank.

Tony28 · November 23rd, 2007

Hi All
This is my new 55g RENA tank stocked with:

9 long finned zebra danios
3 bristle nosed catfish
2 clown loach
4 guppys (3f & 1m)
6 neon tetras
and 2 Kribs.

What do you think?? Any comments ideas welcome as i am quite new to the fishkeeping hobby.

I'd get a clay pot for the kribs and some more plants. Other than that it looks fine!

in the pic, it looks like you have a sailfin mollie and a lyretail mollie...they look good!

Will a normal garden claypot be ok after washing or do i need a specififc clay to be safe within the tan

I have the log shown at the front of the tank which i suppose is like a pipe but they never go in there? Also the bogwood is full of nooks and crannies, is that not suitable??

yes, a cleaned garden claypot will be fine

sounds fine to me...maybe they just like to swim in the open

I'd buy a new regular clay pot that hasn't even been used. Then soak it for 24 hours in water.
