Hey

I have a 300l planted tank. At the moment have a lot of smaller fish plus corys, kribs and dwarf gouramis. I have 1 blue ram as the other sadly died the other night :(

I am looking for some options of other peaceful bigger fish. I have been suggested Keyhole or Cockatoo Cichlids. I am just looking for a few options so when I take a fish shop tour tomorrow I can look at the ones they have once I have researched online!!

If you need more info I can give it, not sure what you want exactly :D
 
Water parameter's (pH,ammonia,nitrites,nitrates what other fishes besides cory's,Kribs (how many), and dwarf gourami(S)would be helpful
Male dwarf gourami and to lesser degree females, can get a bit territorial with other gourami and or top dwelling fish, Kribs when spawning can also present similar behaivors when protecting nest's or fry.
Perhaps a bristlenose or farlowella would be a consideration.
Larger barbs could also work or maybe larger tetras such as columbian tetra's.
 
Ok paras are not right, ammonia has been up and down but I have been advised it is due to the ferts I have started dosing for my plants. Nitraites are 0 and nitrates when I checked at weekend were 40 but have done 3 wc since as was panicing about the ammonia until I was told about the ferts. All my fish have been fine, the rummynose tetras have nice red noses which I know fade when water is less than perfect.

They wouldn't go straight in the tank anyway as I have a 'hospital' tank ready with media in the external on the 300l. I would have them in there hopefully at least 2 weeks.

PH is around 6.8 But the bogwood I have seems to mess with that a little.

Kribs are all (4) female. 1 male dwarf 3 females.

Have a BN already

The larger tetras I am not keen on.

Any new fish I would try my best to get females so no breeding!!!!

Other fish are: neons, rummynose, harlequins, cherry barbs, flame tetras. And some odds that came with my tank that are being rehomed this weekend.

Sorry for short reply, I am at work :)
