New Tank Suggestions On Stocking

[kpintheshed]

i just got my new tank and installed the filter and letting it cycle.

its 71.3 litres well thats what it said on the box but it will probley be 60 or something like that because of plants and sand.

anyway, any suggestions on stocking. i was thinking about a red tail shark one or two.
is the tank big enough?

sorry, not at all, RTBS need around 40 gallons, and 2 is basically impossible cos they attack anything that looks vaguely like one lol

No, RTBS need atleast 40 gallons and a 4 ft long tank. You could put some apple snails in though

Flying fox? Same family and similar behaviour, just erm.. different colour and fish....
6 inches tops, normally 4 in aquarium (or so i have been told)
Peaceful toward other species, just not their own.

No... depends which of the similar species you get, information on them is a bit mixed up.
I think the main 4 are;
siamese flying fox.
flying fox.
siamese algae eater.
false algae eater.
Try http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=200191&hl= a recent poll by me on my flying fox, pay particular attention to the links posted.

If not still a lively entertaining fish to keep.
