Tank Fish

[jenmac_85]

I have recently acquired my brothers 54L tank. As I am a beginner I am looking for the easier fish to have. There is already 1x Zebra Danio and 1x GLowlight tetra in the tank. It has been running for 2 years with these two fish in it for about 7 months.

Any suggestions about what fish would be best to add and when?

Thanks

Maybe adding group of tetras neaons. O rget some platies or mollies

You need to add some more Zebra Dainos and Glowlight Tetras as they like to school. Add like 3 each. Think about some Harlequin Rasboras or White clouds. They look nice and are hardy

Picked up 5 Glowlight Tetras yesterday. Depending on tank test results I will then add 5 Danios. Means I will have 12 tiny friends and I was looking at either Corys or Platys or will that just over stock me. If it does I am not bothered.

I wouldn't add much more but you could get away with 3-4 Ottos.

to get a rough idea how many fish to have work to the " per gallon rule.

your tank is roughly 15 us gallons, so you can have roughly 15" of fish. now it's not set in stone, fairly obviously 1 fish that's 15" long isn't the same as 15 small fish each 1" long. But for small community fish uner a couple of inches it works ok.

so you currently have
6x glowlights - 6"
1x danio - 1"

so roughly half your total stocking.

you need to add more danio's as they like company so 5 more of those would take you up to 12"

so you've room for either a trio of the smaller cories or 1 slightly larger fish like a platy

add some honey gouramis. They are peaceful and hardy
