New Tankmates

HayzH · Nov 12, 2011

Hi...
Most of you know i have now moved Jackson into his own 60L tank..(spoilt boy huh?)
Which now leads to me thinking if i can add anything else to my 66L (Tank1)
Hubby wants 6x neons and 6x glowlights.. is there anything else i can get? as i've heard tetras dont like newly cycled tanks?

BTW...Think Jackson is a tail biter...as he has ripped a huge portion out of his dorsel fin.

You've got so many options, very nearly a blank canvas, platies get on with pretty much everything, and cories likewise.

You could do the tetra thing, you could have a very large shoal of Chilli or Galaxy Rasboras, you could go for a harem of apistos (see if you could breed them), maybe some Dwarf Gouramis, a group of Peacock Gobies.

It sounds like an excuse to go to every LFS you can think of this weekend!

I've seen some Apistos in our LFS..but none of the others. I really do like Electric blue rams...

Another good shout. Not surprised you haven't seen the Peacocks, it took me 4 weeks to track mine down. I'm surprised you haven't seen the Rasbos or Gourami though.
