Question!

[Lord Spooky]

What kinds of fish would go well in a planted tank?

 

[*Fishkies*]

Lots of fish, but first what size tank are we talking about here?

 

[Lord Spooky]

Its a 35 us gallon hex tank and its fairly planted. Its just finished cycling so im curious as to what i should add

what are you looking for temperment wise agressive, semi agressive, or peaceful community types?? what are the measurements of the tank?? you can definetly get different types of tetras, livebearers, groumis, catfish (cories would probably be the best), bn plecs, a betta sorority tank (that would be alot of girls though). i would imagine you could some sort of rainbow, and im not entierly sure but possibly some cichlids.

No cichlids for me they tear live plants to peices. I would like for it to be a peaceful tank

maybe a shoal or two of small tetras

 

[Lord Spooky]

i was thinking of getting a discus or two would they be good with the plants?

 

[lilfishie]

not in a 35 im afraid, they do grow quite big

 

[jess6905]

sorry i forgot about the issue of having cichlids with plants. id also say no to discus.

ugh darn. Well mabey ill go with some tetras a few neons and some mollies

sorry for the double post but would some cats do good in there also

 

[lilfishie]

cory cats would be good in there if you have sand substrate

 

[Lord Spooky]

actually yes i have sand in there. Also would snails do ok on the bottom of a tank that has sand on it. I have a apple snail im thinking aboutt putting in my new tank.

 

[jess6905]

an apple snail should be fine in there
