Thinking of moving up

[L021]

After two months of savings, I'm only 30$ away from getting a 75 gallon to upgrade for my geophagus, acara and pleco. Now, with these guys out of the way, I now have an empty 55. Any stocking ideas for it? I've been thinking of a indian blackwater with this stock;
x20 Zebra Danios
x5 Betta (female)
x6 Glass Catfish
x1 Red Tail Black Shark
And a LOT of plants. Give me your advice/reccomendations!

sounds good maybe get only 15 dianos, less water changes are great

nah keep the twenty danios are little and wont add much bioload. they are fun to watch the bigger the group the better. They're some of my favorite little guys.

Hmm you could do alot with that size of tank. Prefer tetras to danios. Not sure what size the red tail shark can get to but I think you might run out of space. What about some shrimp if your plan is to make it planted? I like watching them.

That sounds good, I'd get lots of different color bettas.. that would look awesome

barebottom with upper jaw polys and maybe one lower jaw. with an african butterfly fish for a top level swimmer

Liking some of the reccomendations! Thanks!
Note; I am going for a biotope here, so I want to stick to Indian fish, because I need my danios

MrA, Do you know of any SE Asian shrimp/snails? I've been looking for a while, but not finding anything :/
