My Next Fish!

[Staxx]

well i to start off my tank is 180 litre. 100cm lenth by 45 high by 40 wide. ph around 7-7.5

my current stock is

2 peppered cory cats
6 albino cory cats
9 leopard danio
3 mollies
4 platys
as well as shrimp, assassin snails and MTS(if they havent been eaten yet lol)

i was wondering on my options for next purchase or what would go best or be best suited. my LFS's all stock different fish so i could go on for days with options. any recommedations?

i was thinking either a group of tiger barbs maybe 10-12 if there suitable. or 2 groups of 10 tetras preferably 2 different species. im guna get 4 - 6 more cory cats and 3 more leopard danios, also thinking of getting rid of the livebearers for something else like gourami or agassi cichlids?

the best lfs is probably http/www.bulwellpetsandaquatics.co.uk/ntfish.htm which is where il be getting the fish from

Apistogramma trio.

Can't believe how much Jewel Cichlids are on that website.

 

[Staxx]

not the cheapest. but its probs the best selection i could find(without going in to shop)

yeah was looking at the agassi. im guna go get um once i get rid of the mollies and platys, kinda wanna see them in the flesh though. will they be alrite with tetras/barbs if i get a group of them eventually?

I'm more intruiged as to what a "Golden Kuhli Loach" is.....hmmmm....albino perhaps? *rubs hands* muwahahahaha


If they're cherry shrimp you have in your tank, the apistos will gobble them up I'm afraid

 

[minnnt]

TBH, most of the fish you're thinking of would relieve you of your Shrimp.

 

[Staxx]

ah only 3 little shrimp, im willing to lose them for some nice fish

 

[minnnt]

LOL!!! The Agassizzi's look awesome, Fire Reds are amazing if you can source them.

TBH, a group of Keyhole Cichlids would work too.

 

[Staxx]

the keyhole cichlids look nice aswell. its a toss up between them or the agassi. a trio of course

with 10-12 tiger barbs eventually.

 

[blackops]

ong that shop has some cool fish

can u order from that site ?

 

[Staxx]

will the cichlids eat tetras? was thinking

trio of agassi
10-12 tiger barbs
10-12 tetras either xray, lemon or black widows?

maybe too much? hmmm

 

[minnnt]

Keyholes are awesome. They are probably the most underated cichlid available. I am so thankful to you for posting the details about the shop. I have been strugling to find them for a while. I will be going with 6.

Also, if you're interested i have a pair of Cacatuoides for sale at £10. PM me if you are.

 

[Staxx]

arrr they look nice aswell! too much to choose from!

 

[Ruskull]

I wouldn't add Tiger Barbs to that tank considering the other fish you already have.

 

[Staxx]

ah was just reading up on them. there "known to be aggressive" guess il skip them. and get another group of tetras or danios
