New Fish Tank Help Stocking/species

glyndawn · Jul 2, 2011

im dead please now tank up and running

fish in

180 litre corner tank

4 neon tetras
1 rasorba
2 black neons
1 guppie
1 alge eater

the question is how many more fish can i have in

i want to add more guppies and tetras

also i want 2 more fish that can go in with them but total diffrent species any thoughts

You can add quite a bit in there no probs.

I would up your Neon Tetras to 6 and your Black Neons to 6 - they are actually different species so need their own kind for schooling. Same for your Rasbora actually up that to 6 or if your not too keen on them maybe pop the loner back to the shop.

With the Guppy, if you want to add more go for it. I would go for a group of 5 males if you want to keep them.

What kind of Algae Eater is it?

For aditions to the tank, a group of Apistos are always nice. A group of spotted headstanders would work pretty nice as well

In that size tank Flagtail or Porthole Catfish would work as a trio maybe?

I would go with something like - 10 Neons
- 8 Black neons or 8 Harliquin Rasboras
- 8 Guppies
- 1 BN Pleco
- 3-4 Dwarf Gouramis
maybe 5-6 Cories for the bottom.

thanks peeps for the advice how many fish can i have in this tank in total

what about mollies will they fit with these fish

Fish Guy · Jul 2, 2011

Depends on what fish you go with really. How big they grow, their temperment, etc.. are factors that have to be considered as well.

well was goint to have

8 neons tetras
8 guppies
8 rasorbas

and 2 other fish

That would be fine. The other fish you are looking for will have to have small mouths and not be very aggressive. Like mentioned by Wills dwarf cichlids would be a nice addition, such as Apistos, Rams or I would even say Keyholes would be fine in that set up.
