Going Tropical

[J4MES]

Hi guys,

Iv'e got a 20G with a tiny goldfish in, im getting sooo bored with him so I have decided to go tropical with this. At the moment I have a betta in a 3G, he will definetely be moving him from there. I am also planning on moving my 3 Harlequin Rasboras from my seriously overstocked 15G. Probably my Golden Nugget too.
Once I have these fish in, what else do you think I could get? I was thinking perhaps corys? Any other suggestions welcomed.

I would get some more harlequins to make the shoal bigger.
No fish with flowing fins if you are putting a betta in the tank.
Black neons get on great with harlequins.

 

[J4MES]

Hmmmm, so the Betta, 10 Harlequins, Gn Pleco and some corys?

[WILDER]

That's ok but I wouldn't add anymore or you will be pushing it.

 

[J4MES]

OK then, I have a fluval +2 filter. Is this adequate?


J4MES

 

[WILDER]

A fluval three would of been better.
Just take samples of your water that will tell you if your filters up to the job.

Notice James doesn't boast about his list of fish in his signature. He may be overstocked (GN in a 15g?!) but he's got some sense.

i am doing something about my tank. lisa how big is your tank.it must
be atleast 200 odd GALS surely what other fish have you in your tank.
remember the 1 gal 1" rule.
this is the last time im posting (actualy is the last time) as im sick of lisa slting me and
what i have in my tank.

 

[LisaLQ]

It's 180g, 6 x 2 x 2.

In it I have
4 x 2" boesmanni (8")
1 x 8-9" common plec (8")
1 x 6" rusty plec - in my avatar (6")
2 x 3" rainbow cichlids (6")
2 x parrot fish - one 5" one 7" roughly (12")
2 x bristlenose - one 4", one 2" (6")
1 x juvie common (6" - nearer 5" but being generous)
5 x 2" brochis (10"

8+8+6+6+12+6+6+10=62"

So technically, I'm 2/3 understocked. My parrots are moving to their own tank, I'm possibly rehoming one of my commons, and I'm not planning on adding anything else other than plants.

So...you were saying BlackMollie?....

(James - I'd have that GN if I could afford it right now lol - but I'm skint!)

Ack - forgot the angels. Add on another 8". They'll be moving with the parrots.

OK Then, what are you doing about your tank?

The tank is way too small for a Gold Nugget.

Maybe a pitbull instead?
