[lloyd]

its quite possible that they'll nip at them but there is everychance they wont. its a hard one to call.

You might be overstocked.. You have 27 fish already and looking to take it to 33.. But in answer to your question id check out things like platys, they come in a wide range of colours. Bolivian rams are cool too

yh tbh i dont think they wil the black phantoms iv got seem very timid and peaceful thanks for the advice guys think i will go for the guppys

sandze iv worked it out if you go by the 1 cm of fish to 1 litre of water rule i am not overstocked and i have a pretty good filter running so everything is cool

Google the bolivian rams quick, if your looking for colour a couple of those would go brilliantly, there cheap and i think sokd quite widely, but im not too sure. Anyway, good luck with your tank

imo overstocking depends largly an the species of fish nyou keep. ie i would keep skittish fish in your tank and expect them to thrive but since they are mainly tretra's that love numbers and often shoal with different speies in the wild then as long as you are confident your filter can cope then i wouldnt worry. (not really including your cichlids in this) do you have anywhere you could rehome the mollys to as they can get quite big and messy and then you can go to town with colouful guppys

Bolivions aren't the best choice to go with cockatoo cichlids

You are right ^^ but i was just answering the topic about colourful fish

 

[seanlid123]

i agree fishy friend

The possibilities are endless as you have a rather large tank keeping small shoaling fish. You seem to have good numbers in the shoals you currently have. I personally wouldnt do guppies, as I have had the experience of guppies from hell (they were like the mafia!!) What about a shoal of 10 Harlequin Rasboras? Or even chile rasboras? chiles are quite colorful, they are small and look great in a group. I think they would suit what you have a lot more than some guppies. Harlequins may not be the most colorful fish, but they have a lot of personality in a shoal.
