I was a numb skull and put this thread in two wrong locations i finally (hopefully) put it in the correct area of the thread directories. Once again sorry for the havoc i caused admins and moderators.

Well, I like to take risk basically... I have a 55 gal tank equipped with a 10 year old emperor bio-wheel filtration unit (It still is fully functional, amazing!), two power heads attached to the under gravel filter, 2 topfin heaters and an air pump. Of course decor plants, 3 glow in the dark plants, two piece sunken ship set about 12"x10"x12"(individual piece) and the bubble stream in the back of the plants.

Now here's is the crazy part, the inhabitants:
4 discuss small to semi-med
1 Wild/Silver Angelfish Medium the only survivor from the angelfish plague or whatever the heck its called.
7 Silver dollars small to medium, "Swim my school of silver dollars, swim!"
1 snowball pleco? Some guy at the pet store try to rip me off by saying it was a gold nugget but i knew it wasn't due to the tip of the fins weren't a bright yellow, still a nice looking pleco for $10, unlike the common plecos.
2 Khuli Loaches almost full size, "Must find food!"
1 Golden Groumi, semi-med; for some odd reason groumi's remind me of submarines or those U Boats...
2 peacock eels medium and large "They are puny..." says the large one in the ship as it sticks its head out the ship to view the aquarium, the medium eel burrows under the gravel.

Now is that crazy or what? So far nothing has happened to any of the fish they all swim around, of course the biggest discus chases away the smaller ones from its spot in the tank, 2 of the smaller discus kick it with the large eel in the ship and the eel doesn't get aggressive or anything just keeps looking out. Silver dollars swim back and forth as usual and the discus may prod them away from their spot, not bite prod (push) and the silver dollars just swim all over the place.

I was thinking about putting those small little half dollar sized turtles in the tank, but i though about it. They may have diseases on them which can harm my discus, how am i going to make a resting spot for them in the aquarium without lowering the water, may(will) increase the amonia levels in the tank and they might eat my Khuli Loaches. So i decided not too put my turtles in with the tank, although it would be awesome, though... to have something out of the ordinary in the tank other than a fish or amphibian.

Does anyone else have a crazy tank or is a risk taker?

Our 120g has 3 Datnoids(getting 2 more), a black ghost knife fish, 2 kribensis, 4 fancy plecos and a red finned loach...We had like 6 angelfish but we took the angels out b/c the loach was picking at them...they hid all the time.
My boyfriend loves the fish which are considered oddities.

Last year when I had my first 42g (don't yell at me ppl) here's what I had in it...all babies and juvis BUT a NO NO
convicts, jade eyes (in the same family of the convict), kribs, 2 female ct betta, fancy plecos, tetra and my betta Nigel RIP spent a few weeks with them. Until the Convicts started to breed...everything was fine.

If you feed them the frozen blood worm cubes,,,your eels will get wise and grab a whole cube for themselves and jet into the boat and grub down. Next thing you know, they'll be 3 times their current size. I had 1 peacock eel get over 20" long, but he became a real PIG eating up to 4 cubes himself, I don't know how he didn't get brain freeze. He lived in the filter..LOL

The Datnoids take the blood worm right from the piece I hold in my fingers...
oh yeah we have 7 datnoids, 3 bg knife fish and the angels/kribs are getting their own tanks.
