Advice Needed On Compatable New Additions

[DaveA76]

im after some advice on something nice to add my 240Ltank current stock is 2x bolivian rams, 1 male 5 juvi kribensis, 5x bristlenoses, 5x golsen barbs, 6 zebra danios, 1x molly, 2x platy and 1x juvi male guppy, now the livebearers im thinking of taking back to lfs as they dont fit in with my new plans
im thinking af a pair of something bought as juvi's to grow on in the tank amybe angels or keyholes or another type of fairley common dwarf "friendly" cichlids and possiby a school of cardinals, was thinking of addind a shoal of cories but my brislnoses might not like it right ?, and would they annoy my spawning bolivians and kribs ?
ive just got this tank up and runnimg and is running a fluval 305 that have put mature media in and a mature fluval 3+, i dont intend to add these straight away and im going to wait 2-4 weeks to make sure the tank has settled

and advice appreciated

Five bristlenose sounds a wee bit much for your tank, to me anyway. I would wait and see what happens with the kribs. How old are the young?

once the juvi's have grown enough to and a pair has formed with the original male the will be sold and i will just be keeping a pair

Angels or keyholes would be good. A pair or one or the other. Yeah I think 5 bristlenose is a lot as well. I would do a maximum of two. And agree with tanking back the livebearers and watching for a pair of kribs. Then just letting the tank settle. You could do plants though.

hi thanks for the replies so far, may sell the other bristlenoses when i get a pair then, and as for plants ive made a start, ive just consolidated 2 of my tanks down to 1 which i only got on monday afternoon, this is it so far but still moving decor to get it right and looking for a nice piece of wood for i

 

[DaveA76]

anyone else any ideas ?

I think you are better off getting more of the schooling fishes rather than adding more different fishes. Your tank is already a bit of a United Nation. Add more danios, up to 15-20 total maybe? Golden barbs up to 8-10 maybe (they grow to 8cm apparently). It will look more impressive that way.
