Upgraded Tropical Fish Tank

Got a new tropical fish tank on Saturday upgraded from a small square one to an Elite 60 it measures 2ft across by 1ft depth and its silver and has a stand as well, it looks very impressive, set it all up yesterday and transferred fish and so far they are all ok, have kept the old filter from the other tank and put it in new tank along with the new filter and will leave it running together for a couple of weeks. If all is well after a few weeks will invest in some more smaller fish and would like to get a couple of big ones.

Anyone know how many fish would be acceptable for a 60 litre tank?

i have 20 fish in my 120 litre tank,

Hi We are considering having tropical fish. Just doing "homework" first

Unsure if to have Tropical or Marine, oh fancies the latter.

We have visted a few specialists, and have been confused over the differences of opinions, personal preference, at the end of the day!!

Would love some advice x

have you kept tropical fish before?

No!! totally new hobby

personally i would suggest tropical, the reason being you get a wider scope for mistakes with tropical, if the ph is slightly off with tropical you will get away with it, where as with marine you would be in trouble. that and the cost of marine.

To be honest I have just read all about that - and I certainly would go the tropical way at the end of the day it would be me maintaining the aquaruim.

Have you any pictures Samantha, would love to see

I will try and get some pics on this week for you to see. Hope you get some tropical fish they are very nice and once you have got established its great, i had a few problems for the first few months where they kept dying but eventually got there, i would also make sure that you buy your fish from a good place but not PAH as i found they werent very good but others may disagree.

What fish have you got in there at the moment?

How "big" are the fish you are looking at getting?

In my 60 litre tropical I have a breeding pair of Kribensis (dwarf cichlids), an upside-down catfish, and a small shoal of black neons and cardinals. I lost some of my older fish so it is quite 'empty' feeling, but I think that less is often more when it comes to fish tanks.

I have got 7 danios and 3 rummy noses and would like to get some more little ones like those 10 and a couple of big pretty coloured ones dont know what kind they are called, some are bright yellow, some are blue.
