Setting A Comunity

[turnnidge]

I have a Fluval Roma 125L tank, and I am wondering if anyone could help , as I am unsure on what fish to have, ideally I would like to have colourful community, if anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks all

are you wanting to breed any fish? Do you want to have plants?

I would say something like:

12 Cardinal Tetras
6/12 Threadfin Rainbows
6 Corys of your choice (I have Pandas)

That would be a good start I think. I think that having a few species in larger numbers looks better than having two of everything. Also smaller fish will make you tank look bigger. What sort of fish do YOU like though? I'd pick a favourite and build around that really.

Thanks for replying,

I do like the siamese fighting fish obv can only have one male but, TBH i'm not entirely sure what sort I would like and unsure what fish I can keep in the tank I have.

I do have plants 9 in total, and unfortunately 2 bits of bogwood (1 huge and 1 small) as these have now tanned the water

If you have a Male fighter you pretty much rule out anything with long fins which is things like Guppies. You can get alot of great loooking male guppies........

OK haha i suppose thats ruled out then hehe, I have my tank at 26oC is that too high for most or just right?

I really want to ensure the tank is 100%

26 degrees is fine anything between 22 and 30, tho the higher the temp the less oxygen in the water.

You might want to put an air line in to ensure the water is oxygenated adiquitly.
