Yea, the XRay fish love to travel up and down the slopes and hills. Are they bottom swimmers? Mine rarely stray from the bottom, but they seem happy.

 

Added a few more rocks, moved a few plants a bit over.

 

Rubberlip Pleco is in with her Goldfish roommates, took out most of the water and added unsalted water. I'll do small water changes next 2 days to get all that salt out. I should prolly buy a heater for them, since the snails seem to like warmer water.
I'm still doing salt for the 55gal, other fish are flashing now, the first seem to be done with it for the most part.

 

I am looking to find cheap, colorful plants to add to all 3 of my tanks. Eventually I will move my snails and shrimp and the 20gal will be free to be the sick tank again.
Can any fish/plants live in the sick tank or does it have to stay bare...?

 

30gal coldwater tank, will be buying a 55gal for them this Wednesday!

We also picked up this tiny thing! Any ideas for a name?

 

Got a 55Gal for the 3 Goldfish and Rubberlip Pleco! Pics tomorrow!

 

How do goldfish sleep? Just floating next to each other in a corner? Mine were doing that today.
Anyone know how to fix Marinland filters? My wheel isnt spinning much, new, when I shake out the water, it'll work fine up until its waterlogged again....
Added 3 fish, Painted orange Platy, Blue Platy, Marigold Swordtail, will be adding one more, Dwarf Gourami, hopefully today.
Anywho, here's the new tank!

I am going to keep the 30gal empty for now, it is where the Golds used to live. It is the tank under the big 55 in the stand, the smaller on the stand is 10gal, and the one on the ground next to the other 55 also on the ground is a 20gal.
I am no longer getting another Gourami. I did get the other fish, platy, but that is all. Here is what's in the freshwater 55Gal on the stand; 10 Black Skirt Tetra(4 female), 4 X-Ray Pristella Tetra(2 male), 2 Mystery Snails, 1 Opaline Gourami(female), 1 Rainbow Shark(male), 2 Red Wag Platy(female), 1 Yellow Mickey Mouse Platy(female), 1 Painted orange Platy(male), 1 Blue Platy(female), 1 Neon Swordtail(male) & 1 Pterygoplichthys Joselimaianus.
This is what's in the Coolwater 55Gal; 1 Shubunkin, 1 Ryukin, 1 Comet, 1 Rubberlip Pleco, 3 Pitcus Catfish, 2 Mystery Snails.
