new fish

[balasgouramisandlemontetras]

As some of you may know i recently lost a fish. I have done some reasearch in my book and have come up with these choices as a replacement

Bumble bee gobie

a corey or 2

hypancistras zebra, scientific naame didn't say common

aa few cong tetra's

a puffer, if i can find 1

or a purple cichlid

parez tatra's

I chose these because i have everything needed for them and the ones that get a bit bigger I.E purple cichlid i am giving away my bala's in 2 months MAX so ill get them small all but the tatra's can be on there own wich makes it good for me once again i can provide anything for these fish. If you have any suggestions on 1 of these fish or wish to add a fish all help appreciated and thank you in advance

1. What's a purple cichlid?, There are hundreds of different types of cichlids, and as far as I know, none are called purple cichlids.
2. There are many species of puffers available, with the majority being brackish
3. Most BB gobies are brackish and the FW ones are difficult to find.

How large is the tank? I think your best choice for a new fish would be a few cories

yep,thats what i thought,Purple Cichlids are more commonly known as Kribensis or Kribs.
you should be able to put a pair in a 20 gallon nicely
EDIT:although i recomend you take the bala sharks as they will get too big for the tank

Ok,

• Bumble-bee goby- available fish are nearly always the brackish variety. Steer clear unless you are 100% certain that you have found the freshwater variety
• A cory or 2 - That's AT LEAST two. Corys are gregarious fish
• Hypancistras zebra - If you can find one of these in Australia, it's likely to cost you over a thousand dollars.
• A few congo tetras - Maybe not a nippy species like congos, but tetras would be ideal as long as you have AT LEAST three.
• A puffer - Absolutely not. Puffers are not community fish.
• Purple cichlid - Your tank is too small for Kribs.
• Parez tetras - see above
