Stocking Advice/suggestions

[james_fish]

Okay, so I have my 200 litre tank at the minute.

Currently in the tank there is as follows.

1 Golden Gourami
4 Kribs
4 Rams
3 Burmese Border Loach.

Maybe not this weekend but I want to expand my stock next weekend, but because of the presence of the Rams I have a reasonably high temperature and an acidy water (measured at 6.2)

The tank is filtered by 2 U4 internals, there are also live plants present if it means anything.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

James.

a nice group of tetras would fill the space. cardinals like higher temps and add a great splash of colour to any tank

Thanks Matt. I have some Neons in a smaller tank and I like them. But i've heard Cardinals are even more colourful!

Keep your suggestions coming.

Just keep an eye on the gourami with newer fish. They can be kinda ornery.

what temp is the tank at?

 

[james_fish]

The temperature stays within 27-28 degrees C.

hatchets, rummy noses, king tiger plecs, whip tail or twig catfish?

 

[james_fish]

Really not sure about adding a plec to this tank at the minute. The last one I did was attacked by a Krib and subsequently died

How many fish do you think I can add altogether to this tank until it is fully stocked. I mean like in the longggggg run?

what rams are they?
why not increase the number of loaches?

 

[james_fish]

They are Blue Germans.

And, I like the loaches but I'd like a nice variety in my tank to be honest.

Keep suggestions coming.

Thanks, James.
