Hello all

I am a newbee in the process of stocking up my tank and have found this site extremely useful (especially when my fish got sick, thanks for the advice if you are reading- all fish are better now).


I believe I have made a mistake by buying guppies, I am now finding it very hard to find fish that will get along with them. I would really love a Siamese Fighter but people have mixed views on these. A friend of mine keeps a fighter with guppies and it has never touched them? Could I please have some advice on this? Thank you.

I currently have in my tank:

5 neons
7 guppies (but not common ones, these ones are multi coloured and don't have a big tail but its extended at the bottom and yellow accross the longest point of the back fin)
2 chocolate gouramies
2 kissing gouramies - added today (again not supposed to be good with fighters but my friends gets along with hers fine)
1 albino shark.
1 common plec

I have 11 plants, 2 large pieces of aged bog wood and a castle for my albino shark to play king :).

I would like to add the following fish


1 clown loach
1 silver shark
6 gold danios (if my fighter really is a bad idea)
6 rainbow threadfins - but have heard these are hard to keep?
and I really love Kribs and would love a piar (can someone give me some feedback on these please)


Also is this too many fish? And are these fish compatible? I would really appreciate any advice/suggestions.

Thank you
