Adding New Fish

[scotta80]

Hi

I have a 150 litre tank, which has been set up for the last 6 months. I have gravel floor, with a few flat stones and plastic plants. I'm looking for Ideas on what fish would make good tank mates. At the moment I have 1x male siamese fighter, 1x pink kisser, 2x green serverum, 2x keyhole chiclids and 1 lepord pleco. They all seem to get on at the moment, apart from the kisser which seems to occasionally chase the others. I was thinking of getting some clown loaches but wasn't sure if they would get picked. Also would like to add a few more chiclids but not sure on aggression. Looking for some more colour in the tank.

Thanks for you help

No on the clown loaches and no on the pleco, I suggest looking at rehoming it as its far to big for your tank (Or will be soon). With that in mind

I'd also look into the green serverum which will grow out in your tank quickly too. Might be worth taking a stock check and removing any fish that will outgrow in the fish tank.

So Pleco and Green Serverum.

Pretty sure the figher fish and pink are okay but I have the feeling they may go at each other so you could remove the figher and get more pinks?

The Plec should be removed as it will unfortunately grow too large for that tank.
I would certainly not recommend the Severum's in this set up, the tank is on the small side and they can be aggressive.
If the 'kisser' you mentioned is in fact a Kissing Gourami then i would recommend you remove it, they grow too large for a tank of that size and can be aggressive.
The Betta may be ok in a tank of that size but probably not with the Keyhole's, Severum's and Kissing Gourami.
The Clown Loaches are most certainly not an option, they need large tanks and a fair-sized shoal.

You could get a bristlenose to replace that plec...
