Any Ideas For A New Species?

[hlouca]

Hi I have a Rio 300 all set up and cycled and have just moved fish into it from my old tank. I was looking for something to put into it as a new species and was just wondering if anybody had any compatible ideas.

The fish I have in there at the moment are:

3 Clown Loaches
4 Bristlenose Catfish
2 Cory Trilineatus
Four Danios
Four Neon Tetra
Three Red phantom Tetra
Five Swordtails
2 Clown Catfish

Plenty of hiding spaces and caves and pots available and I have a healthy Amazon Frogbit growing and growing.

Thanks

I'd suggest you up your numbers of cories, danios and both tetras first, as they like to be in shoals of 6+.

As do the clown loaches, although I'm not sure if 6 of those will fit into your tank. Equally I'm not sure if the 3 you already have will fit into your tank.

Three clown loaches for a 75 gallon? How big do they get?

as lock man says, up the numbers of cory, tetra and danio to 6+, preferably more.

the clown loaches will eventually get bigger than your tank can provide (they grow to 1 foot in length), but they are slooooow growers and might not reach that size for several years.

Ok well I live with parents at the moment so Four foot was the max I could get away with I will be looking for a much larger size tank when I have my own house and space

Do you think I could add some Kuhli Loaches? Or something that will swim right at the top of the tank? I realise Kuhli Loaches don't do this but they are exactly the kind of look that I really like.
