Stocking 55G river tank

[Chad55]

I like the native idea, but not sure if they will be able to go with loaches that I was thinking about doing in the tank.

This tank is working out great. I threw some sand in it last night and then put some river rocks in there this morning and half of them are already covered from the current being so strong. I didn't think that this would happen since the powerheads are about 8" above the sand.

I will get some pics posted by the end of the week. I am having some problems with my camera, but it should be taken care of soon.


When I got up this morning, I saw that one of my pvc pipes is exposed. I am going to have throw some more rocks and driftwood in, to further break up the current.

Can you raise the powerheads a bit?

Oh and keyhole chiclids and other Acaras do well in a whitewater tank if they have places to hide.

There is a fish farm in Texas that sells Rainbow Trout fry. If you are interested I can post a link when I fix my desk top. (I only use my laptop as a spare and don't have my fish links on it). You will need a chiller for them. Chillers can be made with a dorm room fridge by drilling two holes in it and then putting a coil of tubing in it.

Sounds great post the link! That idea for a river tank sounds good. GL!

I heard that you might be headed back this way, can't wait.
