Hi all!
I'm very keen to change the stocking in my 125L (eventually!) but I'm unsure of what amount of fish I could have of each.
I'd like to have threadfin rainbows, chilli rasbora (boraras brigittae) and Pygmy cories.
What numbers would you suggest I could have of each?

Thank you! :D

Oooh, I'm jealous! I've always wanted those fish!

I'd say, sand substrate, moderatly planted since the rainbows like to swim, but the Boraras like some shelter.

I recommend:

12x Threadfin Rasboras
20x Chilli's (sounds a lot, but they are tiny, and a big number of them will cut down on shyness!)
8-10x Pygmy Cories

And maybe some Amano Shrimp or Cherries for algae control :good:

Sounds good! My tank already has a sand substrate and lots of plants. I also have a huge piece of bogwood in there so the rasboras wouldn't be short of places to hide! :D

Thank you very much! This is only an eventual stocking, my current one is a little eclectic at the moment! Hoping to up the cories numbers very soon though. :good:
