New 28g Tank - What To Put In It? Discus?

[simonas]

I've just bought a 3ft by 18 by 12 tank off ebay

as you'll see I have an oddball tank a brackish tank and my sons community so I'm not sure what to do with this one

I know its not that big but should I go for 4 discus and some tetras or would that be a bad idea. I last kept discus about 8 years ago and had 6 in a four foot

any other ideas would be welcome

Hmm the only thing You havent got is Cichlids and that tank is a bit too small for em i think, maybe you could have shell dwellers

Discus should really be kept in at least a 50g in groups of five or more. What kind of fish do you like besides discus?

I've a couple of kribs with about 14 2 week old babies with them.

Just remembered I was thinking about getting some Brichardi or rather a pair but I fancied a more mobile tank than that as my Brackish is very static

I'm a plec and oddball man.

I might stick my ancistrus pair in with a load of tetras

are malawis the colourful ones that you can have a few of? would this tank be too small for them?

Have you got the money to go marine?, and I think you could put malawai's in there but for the long run I dont think it would be good

not at moment as wife moaning about latest fish addition!!! the joys of being married eh

Its going to take a while to cycle anyway so I have a week or two to think and plan

 

[Mr._Fishy]

Do you mean mbuna? If so, the tank is a bit small. Do you like puffers? In the oddballs section, there is a pinned topic, anti-tankbusting oddballs or something like that. Take a look in there and see if there are any you like. I can't really help you with plecos, never was really into them.

£75 for the tank a crude but effective metal stand and hood. I'll need a light heaters and filter but I'm hapopy with the tank

I need to clear space in my garage. I just realised i GOT THE SIZE OF MY TANK ON SIG wrong my Clwon Knife is going to go in with Ornate Bichir with 2 fireeels and other fish will use the other tank
