Fish Aficionado
Well I'm planning out my tank and know what I want for the most part but I really need some fish that will be active in the upper levels of the tank.
So far my fish plan is:
12 Cherry shrimp
5 Otocinclus
5 Zebra Loach
12 Silver Tip Tetra
12 Cardinal Tetra (these will be the last fish added and wont be for a couple of months)
Tank is very well planted and over filtered (two external canisters both rated for bigger tanks).
I'm looking for something fairly peaceful, probably a group of small shoaling fish rather then a couple of larger ones (though I'm open to suggestions). I have room for at least another dozen tetra sized fish or 2-3 larger fish.
Danios would be the obvious choice but I have found previously they like to jump and as my tank has no hood this might not be a good idea (though a good 50% of the surface is covered with floating plants). Long finned fish probably aren't a good idea either the Silver tips tend to be a bit nippy.
Are there any dwarf Cichlids that are happy to be kept in a group?
