jthompson Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I don't have fish, but I've taken great delight in running Dream Aquarium - The World's Most Amazing Virtual Aquarium for your PC or Mac! over the years. Very relaxing. Whenever I see an aquarium I'm always drawn towards it!
FN-GM Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 I used to have a 6ft tank very similar to yours. The Pearl Gouramis are my favourites.

Very relaxing. Whenever I see an aquarium I'm always drawn towards it! It has been proven that fishkeeping and watching fish is very relaxing and calming. I often find it better than watching TV! I used to have a 6ft tank very similar to yours. The Pearl Gouramis are my favourites. Pearl Gourami are great fish. Many people get the dwarf Gourami but they are very prone to disease and instant death. The Pearls look amazing. I keep one male to 2 female. They are very peaceful fish as are the Honeys too.

RichardHastings Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 No tank at the moment but kept tiger barbs as a kid as it was fun watching them harass (in a nice way(if thats possible?)) all the other fish. Then I had cichlids as they were as close to marine fish as I could get without a marine setup. They were great as they would move the tank around from day to day and you could build tunnels etc for them to swim through which was highly entertaining at the time. MISS NOT HAVING A TANK!
Sonic007 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Posted January 24, 2019 Cichlids are great at ripping everything to pieces. That's why I've never had any plants when Ive had them. Have been tempted to go marine but currently with three small children cant really afford setting up a dedicated sump, protein skimmer, etc. I do really like my community tropical setup though. It's great seeing the shoals of fish swimming together. My clown loaches are fun to watch. Currently experimenting with different plants at the moment.
