New tank plan.......

[silver]

Well, some of you know that I DID have 4 Silver Dollars and now only have 2......

The petstore gave me two Rainbow fish in place of my Silver Dollars (LONG STORY) so now I only have the 2 (2 dyed )

Okay, my question, sort of,...........

My 55 is planted mediumly (is that a word ) with fake plants due to my DARN snail problem and it's current occupants are:

2 Silver Dollars
1 Angel Fish
2 gouramis (one 3 spot and one gold)
A little pleco
3 little albino corycats

I run a Fluval 304.......seems to work very well.....and I am now trying hard to do 20% water cheange and vaccuum every week........

My question is that I would like to put my 2 rainbow fish in that tank and get 2 more as well, since they are a schooling fish. The rainbow fish do not get over 4" big....some only 3".

I don't want any suggestions on other fish.....because I DO NOT want to get anymore SDs or another Angel, mine is fine by himself TRUST ME!!!!

So the tank's stocking would be:
2 SDs
1 Angel
2 gouramis
4 rainbowfish
1 pleco and 3 cories

What do you guys think?........

I'd add a few more fish.

A few more rainbows, or a school of bleeding-heart tetras maybe.

I love rainbows their so cute. Iv got 3 with my 2 angels, and they get on great. What kind of rainbows did you get? Iv got parkinsoni's which are a very pretty orange. Theyre colours get even better as they age. I am now just trying to decide whether to get a couple more parkinsoni's or a couple of a different type. Maybe praecox. They are adorable too. I would say go for either of those as they are supposed to be one of the hardier varieties.

I like rainbows, wouldn't mind some myself

So I guess it seems that I wouldn't be overstocked then??




I love me some rainbows too

iI dont thik you'd be over stoked. Like you said rainbows only grow 3-4 inches. Ive got 3 with 2 angels a common plec and 2 rhino plecs. Im pretty close to my limit because of my foot long plec, but seeing as you dont have any foot long fishies you should be fine.
