Since my Red Tailed Shark is all grown up I decided to upgrade her from a 30 gallon tank to a 75 gallon tank. It's still in the process of cycling so it's a bit cloudy right now (attached picture). Currently I have the RTS and her friend an angelicus botia plus 5 black phantom tetras waiting to go in. I am planning on adding some top swimmers as well and am hoping for some suggestions. This RTS isn't too bothersome with other fish, she'll chase them away if they enter her territory (front + bottom + middle of the tank) just until they leave and otherwise is good. The botia she lets anywhere and shares eveything with. Any suggestion is open but I'm partial to a larger group of smaller fish, around 1.5 - 4 inches.
Water
- PH is currently 7.0
- GH 90
- Temperature 24C / 75F
Tank Setup
- 75 Gallon
- 350 GPH Marineland Penguin Filter
- 1050 GPH Wave Pump
- 2700 Lumen Full Spectrum LED light
- Eco-Complete Substrate
- Lava Rocks + RTS Cave
- Spiderwood Driftwood
- (The tank lid is being built)
Plants
- Micranthemum
- Cabomba Purple & Green
- Bacoba Caroliniana
- Alternanthera Reineckii
Also if someone knows more about wave pumps, I haven't tried it out yet as the plants haven't fully rooted. I'm not sure what strength I should set it to. It's adjustable in 10% increments up to 1050 GPH. If not I guess I'll play around with it until something goes wrong and go down from there.
