I just wanted to throw something in, hopefully not off topic. I had a beautifully established 75 gal community tank with many different types. I can't remember the little fish I used to establish the tank, but some of them were still living 4 years later. I had a pleco that started off about 2" and was about 10". What happpened is that I got a new job in a different state and I didn't see any possible way to move the tank and fish, so I included it and all of my accessories with my house when I sold it. I'm still sick that I had to do that. One of these days I'll start up a new one. Unfortunately, I'm kind of in the middle of nowhere with the closest fish store 150 miles away.
Anyway I had a lot of live plants that I actually had to cut back as they would grow very well. I used an Emperor bio-wheel filter that worked very well as long as you did your water changes and tank cleanings like you are supposed to do.
Man, I miss my tank. I hope the people that got it took care of it like I did.
