What Do You Think Should Be The Next Fish I Should Add To My Tanks!? Please Answer?

so i have 4 tanks that i would like to no what your opionion is on what fish i should add to them.
so the first tank is a 10 gal.
currently has..
3 platties and 1 male guppy. none of these are full grown.
the tank has ALOT of algea on th glass of the tank and i was wondering if adding 2 otos to this would would be a good idea!?
if not what else should i add?
my next tank is a 20 gal..
which curretnly has 1(i believe female) gold gourami,
3 black neon tetras9no i am not making this school bigger)
and 1 albino rainbow shark.
what do you think i should add to this tank?
first give me your ideas and then what do you think about my ideas?
my ideas are…
1 pearl gourami
1 more opposite gold gourami
4 zebra danios,
a farlowella(whiptail)
1 or a pair of kribs?
a ram?
1 honey set gourami?
1 angel fish(if the tetras would be the only problem i would be ok with that)
maybe a couple of hatchets
at the store they only have 1 preacox rainbow fish, could i get just him and put him in my 20 gal?ik they like schools and all. and that store wont be getting those any more either.
so those are my ideas for my 20 gal, which ones would work?
next is my 40 gal african cichlid tank.
which currently has 2 male peacoc cichlids,
1 male ob cichlid
1 male red zebra cichlid and
1 female electic yellow cichlid(which has babeis rightnow in her mouth.
im wondering if it would be a better idea to get the rest in females or stick with males(even tho i already have 1 female)?
if i should get som more females, should i get 1 or 2 to match all my males or which ones should i get?
if i should get more males, i would like to get 1 or 2 or 3 more male peacock cichlids and maybe some haps-males. prolly just 1 or 2 of those. and maybe 1 male electric yellow cichlid so that one and the female would mate and i wouldtn have any hybrids swiming around.
also, is there anykind of ciochlid i could add that does NOT cross breed and it would only mate with some of its ouwn kind? and also the other males woudlnt fight over the girls?
also. as i mentioned- my female yello lab has babies in her mouth right now and im pretty sre that the only one she wouldve mated with was the red zebra because i didnt have the peacocks or ob before i jsut had 2 other male assorted cichlids that i gave away and i seen videos of red zebras and yellow labs mating.
so theat is why i think it isa yellow lab and red zebra crossbreed and there for my question is do you think that the hybrid babies she has willturn out to be nice or will they be supper agressive?
since both are relatively calm com[pared to others?
and last is my 75 gal community tank.
which has …
2 male dwarf gouramis
7 gold tetras
6 cardinal tetras,
like 10 guppies,
like 10 platties
11 or 12 cories
and 3 albino bristlenose plecos
also i have 3 cherry shrimp.
so is there any fish i could add that would be a good additon but ISNT a livebearer.
i was thinking about getting that 1 reacox rainbow fish that i meantion before and putting it in here and waitng to find more freinds for him.
also could io add 1 or a pair of pearl gouramis?
what about 1 mael honeyset gourami
what about 1 or a pari of kribs?
1 or 2 same sexed rams?
sebra danios?
what abot a male and or female badis?- i jsut saw these on liveaquaria.com and was wondering if they would do good in my aquarium?! and a little bit of info on these if they would make a good adition. and if they would make a good additon to my 20 gal?
what about a pair or single Peacock Gudgeon? and a little info on them. and if they would do good in my 20 gal?
thanks youuuuuu

SHOULD goldfish stay in colder temperatures?

Question by Question_77: SHOULD goldfish stay in colder temperatures?
yes… people label goldfish as “coldwater fish”, which is not so… its only freshwater.

My question would be: Define coldwater. My definition to that would be 56.467584 Degrees farenheit.

Whats the temperature IDEAL for goldfish? my answer would be: 72 to 82 degrees. Normally i keep my fancy goldfish at about 78-79, and have never had any diseases.

Now… what temperature is everyone elses tanks when they have goldfish? i’d say anywhere from 68-74 degrees… which is where parasites and worms like to thrive in.

what temperatures are goldfish found in their ancestral habitats? i’d say anywhere from 33 degrees F in the winter to all the way 100+ degrees in the summer!
And unless you want to keep putting medicine in your tank every so often… why keep your tank lower than 74?

So in conclusion… if your tank has a filter (enough water agitation) and an air pump….
Wouldnt it be more comprehensible to keep goldfish at 78 degrees?

Hate/disagree/agree answers welcome

when they die i would like to get 2 goldfish(ive always wanted them)

What Should I Do With This Aquarium?

I have a 75 gal. aquarium that I’m no longer using for fish. I want to keep a reptile or another exotic pet of some sort but I don’t have any idea what would be the best idea… I have thought of bearded dragons or a savanna monitor lizard as they seem pretty cool and have relatively cheap setups. I’m more concerned with how cool the environment will look than the actual animal.
Anywho, I’m excellent at maintaining large fish tanks so it seems as though it would be much easier to have a reptile aquarium in comparison…
Thanks for any ideas guys!
