Suitable fish for a planted community tank - looking for experiences
community tank with Otos (6), Angels (4), 4" gold gourami, 9 small
neons, 3 serpae tetras, 1 white-skirt, 1 5" pl*co & 1 cory. Your neons are likely to become snacks for the angels eventually. If the pleco is a common pleco, he will eventually outgrow that tank. If it's an ancistrus, you're ok. As mentioned already, cories like to be in groups- you should have 3-4 more. The same for any tetras, so your white skirt should have company, too. Electric Yellow Labidochromus (grows to 4" I believe) Bumble Bee african cichlid (up to 4") Cichlids -can- be too aggressive for a community tank. The yellow lab might be ok, as they can be less aggressive than some, but it probably isn't worth the risk. If you want cichlids, do a separate tank and set it up properly for them. Dwarf puffer Yes, this is a brackish fish- likes the water with a bit more salt content than most community fish. They will also eat small fish in a tank with them. Gold Mickey Mouse platy (and the red version too) Lemon tetra Gold Pristella Decta Sunrise Tequila Guppy (really neat looking fish - never seen one before the lfs visit. These are all good community fish. The tetras and the pristella are schooling fish, so you should get them in groups if you want to keep them. Watch the sizes, tho- angels will eat anything small enough to fit in their mouths.... -Mak http://www.thirtytwopaws.com/mak Updates 1/30/03 You can't ask to start over just because you're losing the game. |
