I’m thinking of getting a 30-50 gallon tank and I’m wondering which freshwater fish and invertebrates would really amaze people. No cichlids or goldfish. I am very experienced.
Possible choices:
red tail sharks
gourami
hatchet
discus
I currently have a 10 gallon tank w/ 5 neon tetras, 1 black skirt tetra, 1 ghost shrimp
If you had this tank what would you put in it?

I was just given a fish tank today with some goldfish and some eels. The eels are about 7 inches long and are about 3/4 inch tall. They are brown and their tail fins are broad. I know for a fact that they aren’t tire tracks or spiny eels. They also have whiskers (six that go around their mouth) and they sometimes suck on the side of the tank. They are moderately aggressive when fed brine shrimp, but for the most part are mild mannered and stick together.
Any ideas of what they may be?
Thanks!!
I have a 10 gallon unheated (room temp) tank with 2 snails, two fancy Goldfish and Dojo loach. It is planted and contains a lump of bog wood.
The filter is the type that hangs of the back with filter cartridge, and I have a small airstone.
I’d like to add some Shrimps and may be a clam?
My biggest fear is that the Shrimp will get eaten, or sucked into the filter.
Looking at other questions posted, I guess that ghost shrimps are glorified fish food, so perhaps something a little larger would work?
I would appreciate any advice on the best way to go!

Hi-Fin Bull Shark, three GoldFish, and two Shrimp?
I have 6 goldfish as well as a khulii loach and a ghost shrimp. About 2 hours ago while just looking at my tank I discovered that my smaller ryukin had white spots on his tail fins (ich spots I assume). I didn’t find anything as obvious on my other fish while I think I see similar spots on my larger ryukin. I started a 50% water change. I went to pick up the rock where my loach usually hides. He hides a lot and I hadnt seen him in about 2 days, but this was typical him. To my surprise (and total disgust) I found a very gross discolored (orangish, no black pigment at all) very dead loach. And to add to this my ghost shrimp is acting VERY weird. I had not seen him either in about a day or two, this is NOT like him at all. Today he was not moving much and did not react to the fish or net like normal. Has anyone had a similar expierience? Any advice? For ich treatment, a store bought chemical treatment or salt? Whats the best way to save all of my fish? I would REALLY hate to lose them…
It is reccommended that 50% water changes are done, I didn’t just make that up. The water quality is important when treating ich. I have not had ich in my tank ever, which is why I don’t know the best treatments
