Our 20 gallon sprang a leak so we got a 36 gallon bowfront. I used water and filter media from my old tank to cycle and it's been two weeks, no losses. It's a planted tank, though some of my swords and anubias from the 20g look puny right now lol.
We have:
1 BN albino pleco
3 julli cories (I plan to up this to 6 now)
1 angel (black and white)
We also have:
6 zebra danios
5 cherry barbs
But I'm thinking of rehoming the danios and barbs, trying something new. (We've had cherry barbs as part of the tank for the past 5 years). The pleco must stay, we've had him for over 6 years. Angel should also stay, my daughter is attached to her.
We've had gouramis in the past and they're nice but I would like to try something different. Not sure rams would like our hard water. No neons. No blue crayfish (damn thing uprooted everything and liked to escape!). And I need some COLOR and interest for the kids
Considering:
School of dwarf rainbows - or -
School of lemon tetras or rasboas or ? With a pair or harem of community cichlids (cockatoo? Others?) - or -
Other ideas?
We had a gorgeous krib for a few years and I liked him but my daughter didn't because he hid in his cichlid cave all the time.
(I'm already wishing we went straight to a 55 gallon or more and I could fulfill my dream of discus and blackwater, but it wouldn't fit in the space we have so alas . . .)
