Or you can send me your 6 footer so I can setup your suggested tank from that same thread

Just a whole freaking tank full of vicious tiger barbs!!!!! HEHEHEHUAHAHAHAHA Basically a mini shark tank then!

one day when i get a 500g tank my dream will come true...

wow the photos of them tanks are brilliant - puts my 90 litre to shame

lots of people get a large tank then jump to large fish, but IMO i would love to do what you plan on doing, a large tank, lots of plants and amazing life in it, if it was me i would go for cardinals as they are amazing IMO

great respect for what you're doing, i would love to do the same.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Though if you are going to go the planted route then I'm going to start a petition for some pics of the tank

I really think that if I upgrade to a larger tank, I am converting my 75g to a mbuna tank, then i am going to a have a 55g shoaling species tank. I would love to have a shoal of 50-60 harlequin rasboras and a big shoal of cories.

Could do harlequin rasbora's, no trouble.

There will be plenty of pics aswell. Step by step.

Would it be wasted on 4 keyholes, 4 bolivian rams, cories and a massive shoal of tetra's?

No.

 

[minnnt]

Any thoughts on stocking caz?

 

[coldcazzie]

Not glowlights. Not that there's anything wrong with glowlights, per se, just think neon or rosey tetras would be more striking. Got any particular cories in mind?

 

[minnnt]

Nope! lol. Totally open to any suggestions!

Cardinals cories bn's congo's clown loach guppies hoplos
A 6' sounds great but I bet you it soon ends up stocked to the max. I know

 

[ZoddyZod]

pick a tetra that actually shoal.....neons are naff at that! I've found rosys to be fairly quarlesome (when I kept 6), but they may be better in larger numbers.

Not had rummynoses, but apparently they are quite good shoalers?

didn't read this before I replied.....these are much much better at staying together as a group. 50+ would be quite a sight!

 

[marcandnic]

+1 on the Harlequin's.

 

[Dieses Madchen]

I think a massive school of Harlequins would be spectacular to see (I think they are the coolest little fish.)

 

[njstockley]

Great idea minnt - love the idea of a setup like this!

But why limit to only 4 Bolivian Rams? In a larger group you would get to see their social behaviour at its best. I would then go for a huge shoal of rummynose tetra and another shoal of coral red pencilfish. Finally a small group of hoplos as they wouldn't trouble anything and are fun to watch, and you would see more of them than the plecos - but that's just my opinion and harlequins seem to be edging it at the moment!

Will enjoy watching this one come together!
