In late December/early January I thought it would be nice to set up a tropical fish tank, so I bought a 160 litre tank to do so.
I slowly followed all the steps into setting it up, and added firstly tiger barbs, then red honey gouramis, then clown loaches, corydoras and an albino bristlenose catfish, we were then going to procede with buying a pair of silver sharks and a turtle. This is until there is an outbreak of disease in the gourami and corydoras, all die except one gourami, which we give back to the shop in hope of it's survival (Tiger barbs were bullying it). After leaving the tank to settle for a long while, we buy some more plants/rocks/logs etc, and are now going to buy some more fish.
I have done a lot of research recently and have also realised that, I quote "fish + turtle = fed turtle". So after a lot of eye strain and brain combustion, I have come up with what I think is a nice combination.
6 tiger barbs (own already)
2 clown loaches (own already)
1 albino bristlenose (own already)
2 pearl gouramis
3-4 kuhli loaches
2/2+ kribensis
And maybe:
1 rainbow shark
(I believe all these fish mix, and have a 160L tank)
Please let me know if this is good!
