just yesterday i got done setting up my new 25 gal and am wondering what kind of fish would go good in my tank. Right now i have - 2 angel fish, 2 sailfin mollies, 2 swordtails, 2 male platies, 6 female platies, 2 male gouramis, 1 female gouramis. :fish: I would like to have some different looking fish in my tank any suggestions would be GREAT. And also do i have too many fish in there now to put more in :unsure:.
 
Dwarf Puffers are more suited to a species only tank. I'm sure you will have a few people say they have DP's in a community tank and never have a problem. However it seems people who have kept them for a long time say that as they get older they will start really tearing into the other fish. Even in a species only tank you have to be careful how many DP's you put into the tank.


I think most people would say you are pretty well stocked now. You might could slip in a couple of oto's for cleanup duty though. Also you don't mention any bottom feeders 3 or so Corydoras would be a great addition to the tank.
 
anymore fish ideas would be great. a lot of my fish have started to die because of new tank so i have a feelin that my stock number will go down soon :-( And would like to get some different kinds of fish than i have now :)
 
Hi fantasy fish :)

IMHO, your tank is overstocked now. :/

If you want to learn about dwarf puffers, the best place to ask questions is in the Oddballs forum. :nod:
