Hello!
I am a newbie at keeping fish, and would like to ask for suggestions of fish for a 55 gallon tank that i have. I'm not a fan of the small guppy sized fish i see at Wal-Mart/Petco though ( i think they're called neon tetras ) and would like some medium sized fish
My friend recommended getting an Oscar, but after doing some reading around, i read that a 55 gallon tank is too small, even for one Oscar. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i like the look of these fish so having 2-3 of these would be nice
Keep in mind that I would like to keep a "Pleco" in there, as i like the look of these fish too and my friend said they eat algae which would keep the tank cleaner.
I live in Minnesota, so if there are any laws about keeping a certain type of fish, i don't want to be breaking any laws or anything so it would be nice if someone could check up on that for me that would be nice also! ( I checked up on it and couldn't find anything )
Thanks alot for reading, and hopefully someone can help me find some interesting fish
P.S How long should i "Cycle" my tank before putting fish in? some guides say 1-2 days while some guides say 1 full week
