60l Fish Tank Stocking

[katiee]

Right, I have 1 guppy and one danio, but now i have a new, 60l tank, i want some more fish.
could i have some advice on numbers of fish i could have?

I was thinking
guppies
danios
tiger barbs
platys

as said in another post, tiger barbs might bother the guppies. what other fish could i have?
i am a novice when it comes to fish keeping lol so any help would be appriciated

 

[kizno1]

no tiger barbs they would nip the other fish
you need to up the danios to 4
is the guppy you have male or female
you could have 1 platty or a honey gourami
and 4 corys

 

[katiee]

i have no idea weather the guppy is male or female LOL

only 1 platy do they grow rather big?? could i have two platys and 3 corys??

ouu and tetras?

 

[kizno1]

dose the guppy have a long tail or just a short one
ok this would be the max
4 danios
1 guppy
3 platys
4 corys

You don't have to buy 4 more danios, though they're a shoaling fish so it would be ideal but not essential.

okay that sounds okay thankyouu i will probably add them gradually, one or two spicies at a time?

the guppy looks exactly like this one > http/www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/image/126129.jpg

the females fin isnt pointed and she has a blacky spot that her gravid spot where the fry are

 

[katiee]

ahhh i see

 

[kizno1]

its the same with platys and mollys but its harder to see there gravid spot.

Be aware you will have alot of fry if you mix the platy sexes as they are prolific breeders (all livebearers are) Your tank will be overun with platys within month so make sure you have a place for the fry to go

 

[katiee]

ahh, the biorb would be too small wouldnt it??

could i just ask for 1 sex ?

 

[kizno1]

alot of the fry will be eaten my mollies have about 50 fry and if i miss the birth they will all be gone by the next day.
and yh you can just have 1 sex.

Personally I wouldnt put danios in a 60L, in my opinion its not big enough for their swimming needs, they are extremely active.
