What Additions Could I Add

[dave_m13]

Hi

I am due to get a new tank, it will be roughly 350-450 litres, not sure what the volume is exactly but it measures 153cm*50*70 now there is a filter at the top, so could be 60 high.

This should be delivered in 2 weeks time, I would just like to know what other fish people would recommend on top of my existing, I am going to be putting the fish into new tank from my 200 litre, cannot keep it as well.

Stock in 200

7 Tiger barbs
3 clown loach
2 zebra loach
3 polka dot loach
3 hillstream loach
3 glass catfish
1 L144
1 Clown pleco
1 flying fox

I would probably like to get a 1-2 more zebra/polka dot loaches to make more of a group for each.

I could really do with some fish that stay mid/top of tank, any suggestions?

PH 7.2
medium/hard water

Thanks
dave

I can tell you that one fish that I enjoy that stays at the top is the killifish variety, though rare to find in the LFS, they for the most part are peaceful but do get up to 4 or 5" depending on the variety... and though I've never experienced it (I have neons in with mine with no problems), they are said to sometimes eat neon tetras or anything smaller than neons as they have big mouths, but as long as you dont have anything that small they're the most docile thing in my community tank spending literally 99% of their time at the top. If you are interested in them I'd google Golden Wonder Killifish as they are the most common LFS variety and are very pretty!
