Suggestions Needed For Small Fish To Fill A New Tank

[lordti]

Hi!

I am setting up my first tank, its 120cm x 36cm x 50cm. Planning to get 5 Silver Dollars, a Bristlenose catfish, another catfish and a bunch of smaller fish.

Would love some advice on what small fish to get and how many of them.

Thanks

Thats a 200+ litre tank (about 216) so you can get a lot in there. Take a look at my stocklist & see what you think, its a 180 litre & is obviously overstocked but that is taken care of by my maintenance regime.

Yep, specs for the tank say its a 216 litre tank

Easy there lordti. Silver dollars commonly grow to over 6 inches, a bit too big for that tank IMO. If you decide to go with some silver dollars anyway, avoid small fish. I would call them silver dollar food in the long term.
