Fish Ideas

[guppy_man]

hi im not sure on the size of tank im having yet but its over 50gal
i was thinking of having different kinds of platies and corys in their, then i got thinking "i have all this room and only having about 20 fish".

have anyone else got any ideas on what fish i can have with my platies and corys, fish that are not hard to care for and not aggressive?

thnx

Get a school of some sort of tetra! I personally like glowlights and they are tough fish! Or you could try some harlequin rasboras they're nice fish too!

thanx

Hi,

It might not seem full yet but platies breed like rabbits. You could add an algea eater either a group of otos or a bristlenose plec would be nice. Harlequins should be in groups of 6+ the more the merrier. Whats happening with the fish in your 20 gal? Both plecs you have will grow 18-24 inches and the CAEs will grow 10 inches.
