want more fish!!

[ldytmropr]

My tank has finally cycled!!! I successfully did it without killing ANY fish. Knock on wood. Now, I've got 2 kissers, 1 opal gourami (who's a bully) and 1 blue gourami, 2 pictus catfish and 5 zebra danios. I like the angelfish and cardinal tetras. Would those be good to add? (Slowly of course). I'd like to get 2 more kissers. I like them. How many of the others can I put in a 30 gal. tank. Or would there be better options then cardinal tetras and angelfish. I want some color. Will the angelfish eat the tetras and danios?

Hey congrats on the cycled tank.
30 gallons is a little small for angelfish, and cardinal tetras are angelfish primary diet in the wild so i dont think that would work. A school or rummy nose tetras would be fine and they look really cool too

Guess no angelfish for my tank. thought they were pretty cool looking...Probably won't work if cardinal's are their primary diet in the wild... Would the cardinal tetra's work without the angelfish? Will they get along with the others? Is there a website taht I could go to that has the different kinds of fish and their temperaments so I know what to think about.

Thank you! I'll check them out!!!

Cardinal Tetras would be an excellent choice.

I've decided on some Cardinal Tetra's, Neon Tetra's and maybe a couple of more catfish. May just do some neon tetra's instead of mixing cardinal's and neons. In doing this research, I've come to find out that Gourami's get really big. They failed to tell me that at the LFS. I have 4 of them. They're fine now, but will probably have to find a new home. How long does it take for them to get 6-8 inches.

Cardinals are hardier then Neons and great for the beginner. Good luck with your decision... it's definitely fun to decide what fish to get.

Thank you!!! I'll keep that in mind and let you know what I end up with... May try the Cardinal's first... Then add some Neon's... Then possibly a couple of catfish...
