Help Needed

[trew]

im getting a rekord 60 from jewel aquarium i was wondering what kind fish would be ok to put in i was thinking neon tetra and a algae eater i am aware of all the new tank requirements [new tank syndrome,biolgical maturation]

thanks

How many liters is it?

 

[timmystood]

Depends on the type of Algae Eater - From personally experience I wouldn't reccommend a Chinease or Simease Algae Eater... They get too aggressive towards tetras.

The Rekord 60 is 60 ltrs= c. 15 Us gallons

school of tetras and a bristlenose (algae eater) should be fine

neons can be a little sensitive, so a fishless cycle is needed

thanks i love tetra but there very small do they eat flakes hope its not stupid to ask

 

[Durbkat]

Yep.

 

[trew]

) ok ok it was a stupid thing to ask whats the best food for them (neon tetra)

 

[Durbkat]

Tropical fish flakes. As for the alage eater it will need sinking algae wafers.

thanks how big do brittlenose algae eaters grow its only a small tank i saw a small algae eater in the fish store it was very small could it be a baby or are there any algae eaters that stay small that would be cool B)

are there any other good fish that live peacefully with neons preferably 1 big fish example 1 catfish or gourma or...well you get the picture

 

[Durbkat]

You probably saw a baby common pleco but they can grow up to 2 feet in length. Not counting the width of it.

 

[trew]

wow 2 feet
