My Tank And Fish

[lisap]

well to start here is a picture off my tank:

and here are some pics of my fish

unfortunetly i have lost some fish since these pics were taken(in a short amount off time)
right now for the questions.

how many fish is the max i can have in my 98L (3ft) tank?
what fish can i mix with the fish i have already (i.e male fighter and community fish)??

also i no there is something missing in my tank but im not sure what it is. any ideas on what to add or take out??

thanks in advance

Your best not putting a male fighter in the tank, ideally he should be kept in a seperate one. They prefer to be on their own but will also attack any fish that looks similar, especially guppies.
There's no reason you couldn't add another 3 or 4 guppies and maybe 5 or 6 neon tetras.
As for stocking capacity, everybody has their own ideas but perhaps someone else will give you an idea.

well i had a 25L tank (bowl 37) and got told it would cope with roughly 20fish and they would be happy. the tank i have now is 96-100L tank and on has 16-18 fish.

would ideally want ideas for decor. have a bubble wall in there aswell and they love that.

any ideas plz feel free to throw at me.

How about a few more plants at the back and a nice piece of rock. Also some bogwood, that always looks really good.

well i got given some slate for the tank which my mum had going spare so im gonna try a few ideas with that maybe going from the bogwood thats in there now to the anchor (top off it) and than another piece going from the other side off the bogwood to the old tube ruin thing!!

That'll look good. It'll also give your catfish another little hiding place!

He's lovely. I wish we had room for some but we've already got 3 Pictus and 3 Pearl catfish.

lol thats the horrible thing about fish and tanks. you see a nice sized tank and get ya lovely fish, than you see more and think shall i buy a bigger tank for them or not???

 

[stang1]

Thats how it all started! Had the one, now we've got 3 and 4 fighter tanks. Planning on getting another 2 big tanks after xmas. It is just too addictive!

 

[lisap]

nice tank
adding a background makes a huge difference, might be worth picking some up from the lfs.
plus adding a few more plants would look good and as others have said bogwood always looks good and the slate is a good idea
