Potential Tankmates

[ITJ]

Hi all,

Been away from the forums recently, partly working on my new Photography Website (still a work in progress), partly recovering from a broken foot and partly doing 10% water changes!

Anyhow, my tank is progressing well since my last post. The plants are doing well, the hydgrophylia even had to be clipped back a bit to encourage more growth lower down.

The reason for my post is another "can I get away with adding any more fish" type question, and more specifically, does anyone have any ideas of suitable tankmates for my current setup (see Sig)?

At present, the Kribs, although wonderfully colourful at times, are pretty sedentary, the Otos are totally still until late evening, and its left to the Harlequins to lighten up the tank. Originally I thought I would be overstocked if I got anymore fish now, but I thought I'd open the question to you lot!

Thanks for your time

Ian

Got it down to a few potentials:

- A couple of Rainbow Fish
- A few Cherry Barbs
- A pair of Endlers

Anyone disagree with any of these?

Cheers
Ian

well, endlers will produce fry and unless you plan on feeding them, they might create a problem

I'd go with a trio of cherry barbs (1m, 2fm). They are some of my favorite fish and look great with harlequin rasboras.

Been looking up on the cherry barbs, and they seem like nice fish to compliment my tank. I'll go with three and be happy that I'm pretty much well-stocked from then.

Thanks
