i have just recently bought a juwel rekord 96 and would appreciate any suggestions on what to have in my tank as i am spoilt for choice...i already have a 35 litre tank with 2 weather loach and a red finned shark waitin to go in it when it is cycled...any suggestions ?????
 
I don't know alot about red finned sharks - I *think* they're the same as red tailed black sharks (RTBS) and they're known for being pretty aggressive, so you want reasonably robust fish (unless I'm talking rubbish about the shark.)

Some rainbow fish - Boesemani's look good, or praecox - good dither fish. A smallish plec, on first glance they're ugly but they're easy to fall for. I've got an L15 but theres plenty of others that don't get too big.

Hmmm. Might get away with some flavour of ram, either German Blue or Bolivian - good looking fish. And possibly a single angel as a centrepiece.


**disclaimer**

The only fish of the above I've kept myself are German Blue Rams, praecox rainbows and an L15 - the other suggestions are based on anecdotal evidence, not experience. I'm sure someone will post though who has kept some of the above or can give you some alternative suggestions.
 
i am deffinatly adding a small plec but that is the last fish i intend on adding i like the idea of rams very nice fish i am looking for a small zebra plec but my LFS never seems to have them...plus the red tailed shark i have is actually a rainbow shark and they are only aggressive to their own kind but i am goin to add my weather loach after i have added some of my other tank water in just to speed up the cycle by adding the bacteria from my other tank.

Tank water wont speed up a cycle. Are you doing a fish in cycle??
