aquaman18 Enthusiast Posts: 151 Kudos: 125 Votes: 0 Registered: 03-Apr-2003	How does this sound for a community tank? 1 x Redtail Shark 2-4 x Rosy Barbs 8-10 x Tiger Barbs 10-12 x Harlequin Rasboras They will be going in a 55 Gallon aquarium with an AquaClear 500 power filter. I would just like everyone's opinion on this. Thanks!!!!

Make sure there's TONS of hiding spots in that tank, lots of plants, caves, etc... Instead of the rasboras, I'd probably go with some ottos or cories to fill up the bottom a little bit more. Also help keep the tank a little cleaner, but like I said, that's just me... PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

If you don't want a full school of them, go with a small school of corys, maybe albino or pepper, something in the 2" range. Like was mentioned, you've got a fairly empty bottom otherwise. ^_^
