Tank Mates

[twingogeekeo]

So tonight mum and dad told me they are getting a fish tank given to them.

Mums going to take all my 3 platys and there babys off me once its done a fishless cycle and also my 4 Cardinal Tetra as the tank is going to be a 160L. She can then buy some more to make a school again as i lost 2 the other week. She wants my Albino Corys but so does my girlfriend so the could be arguements

This will leave me with 2 German Blue Rams and 6 Panda Corys. Maybe a goldring loach if they dont try and still him off me as well. What else could i get as a tank mate for these guys i was thinking of maybe some schooling fish but dont want tetra as there so common! The GBR are my main attaction in the tank so i dont want the tank mates to take the lime light but still need to be really nice fish. Can you list some choice then i can google and research on these fish.

Replace the panda cories with sterbai cories. GBRs need temps in the low 80s, too jigh for pandas. As for other tankmates, rummynose etras would be nice, as they can handle the temp. Try searching for fish compatible GBRs.

Can you not read! I said i dont want Tetra

I have the Tank set at 26C as it says on fishkeeper care Panda corys temp is 21 - 27 and GBRs 25 - 30.
