Fish Stock

[bikerfish]

Hi I have a 180litre tank , but long it is 39inches and looking for middle swimmers?
At mo I have
6 Gupps
2 Platys
5 Blackwidows
1 Brn
7 Kuluis
I am getting corys for the bottom

Problem is I would like something bigger that is not timid so no guramis

I would really like somthing a bit different but just not sure what ?

you could try keyhole cichlids or rams

 

[sadguppy]

Perhaps a single angel or a pair if you're able to get a mated pair? I have two angels and they have a love/hate relationship, fortunately the more feisty one has a gammy fin so can't chase after the other fast enough to do any damage but I'd advise against getting two - five, a single or big group works better.

My angels are a pain in the butt. I had 3 in a tank and it was definitely a crowd. Now big bully angel is in timeout in another tank...
Any dwarf cichlid like rams, keyholes etc would be ok. If you're looking for a shoal of slightly larger fish then congo tetras are great fish and not shy if kept in reasonable numbers.

+1 on keyhole cichlids

Hi tank not tall enough for angels but will look into the other types , must confess I do like blue rams but hoping for something a bit bigger if pos

Hi I am going fish hunting next week , I want a couple I got 8 corys today and really impressed with
them

Keyholes are pretty easy to come by round me anyways, and I don't have the best LFSs in the world. They normally only cost about a fiver each.

 

[crazyforcordoras]

Domt go for Blue Rams. They require higher temperatures.

 

[bikerfish]

Hi cheers for all the advice def wont get blue rams as got me corys now , just looking for some bandit corys aswell now then

 

[blackops]

are you geting the keyhole cichlids still

 

[bikerfish]

Hi yes still want to get keyhole chichilds , have to take 2 bala sharks back to shop first as impulse buy tank just not big enough for them I am right in thinking keyholes and corys go ok together as not wanting to make any more .......

I have not seen any keyholes in my local lfs so will have to maybe go further a field
