ok so i got this 30g with a pictus cat a yoyo loach a baby sengal and a yellow lab
the tank seems bare and i want to get some more fish and i will be getting a bigger tank in a year or 2 like a
75 so i was thinking butterfly fish but there 50$ at my lfs and i dont think i like them that much so i would realy like some help on this :good:
 
What are the dimensions of your tank? IMO 30G is too small for the species you have apart from maybe the YoYo or the Yellow Lab. Pictus only get to 5" but are really active so need quite a big tank to swim about in, whereas the Senegal gets pretty big. If your planning on upgrading this isnt really a problem as long as you do so before they get to big. But the YoYo and Yellow Lab would really benefit from being in different harness water, soft and hard respectively. The Pictus and Senegal are pretty unfussy about hardness. Apart from the Senegal all your fish prefer to be kept in groups.
It may be possible, depending on the tank length and width, to keep a Yellow Lab species tank.
