Any Ideas For More Fish?

[justjon]

Hey all

I'm wanting to get a few more fish in my tank, if possible... I did look at expanding the group of Silver hatchets I have however this isn't possible as my LFS wont be getting any more in, although - they seem pretty happy up there!

Can anyone else give any ideas to fish that'll suit my tank? I like fish with characters (although all my fish seem to have that!).. something.. interesting would be good... but all ideas welcome

This is for my main 120L

I would say your about fully stocked TBH. If it gets to crowded i think the pearly gourami could cause some problems. The hatchets could really do with being upped.
Where are you? If you can make it down to norfolk i have 4 marbles and 2 silvers for sale.

I'm in Jersey, otherwise i'd definately take your offer up

Thats a shame.
Is there no where else you can get them from? Or any site you can order them off? They really do need to be in groups.

I can't really afford cost of them + postage, I think postage here is about £7 via RM but everyone else seems to charge much much more

hehe sorry i didnt notice that

I would say your tank is pushing being over stocked so i would leave it at that.
One fish i recommend though and has been recommended to me is the Kuhli Loach they are amazing little things! They have tones of character and they are definatly unique!
A stunning addition to any tank if you are lucky enough to find them.

Here's some links to some profiles:

another website i find really useful for all kinds of fish is 'aquahobby' its not working right now but its great.
it has a brief profile and loads of comments about the fish from people who have actually own it and if they recommend it e.t.c
