Motivation

[Mychal]

I’ve had my 55 gallon tank running about 8 months and just had my favorite fish, my GBR pass and I was in the process of prepping to move it to my basement and rescape it, but things got pushed back a little bit so as of right now, I’m stuck with a tank I’m 70% disliking and need some help for motivation. I currently have:

- 6 Praecox rainbows
- 2 Bolivian rams
- 2 Clown Loaches
- 2 Dwarf gouramis
- 2 Mollies
- 3 Platies
- 3 ugly guppies

I just need some motivation for a better looking tank and I’m open to rehomig all fish but the loaches, rams and rainbows.

IME most people are more happy with a simple stocking, meaning only a few species but in large numbers.

Sometimes it’s good to restock from scratch. Rehome all but your favorites then get another 6 of the rainbows. I’d also add another small-medium sized schooler for a bit of variety.

As for the scape, I’m a strong believer in planted tanks and driftwood.

I was thinking getting some Angels and a bright and good personality tank in general, so what would you advise?
